Not in my House, Pelosi says on potential GOP win
Published:
Updated:
San Francisco's Congresswoman and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in town on Monday, taking advantage of a visit to Mission Neighborhood Centers to assure those in attendance that the Democrats will maintain control of the House.
Her remarks came after White House press secretary Robert Gibbs on Sunday warned on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Republicans could reclaim the House with this year's elections.

"I don't think there's much likelihood [of Democrats losing control of the House], but anytime the White House wants to lower expectations, that's okay with me," Pelosi said.
Pelosi acknowledged that only Lincoln and FDR (heard of them?) had held off major midterm losses, but said, "we absolutely have no intention of losing the House."
Pelosi, whose speakership depends on how Democrats fare in November's elections, also touted the benefits of the stimulus and lambasted Republican senators for blocking legislation that Pelosi said would extend job benefits and help create or save more jobs.
She warned of an even deeper recession if Republican senators continue to filibuster against jobs bills that the House has passed.
"We don't necessarily need another stimulus package, we need public policy that keeps jobs at home," Pelosi said.
Pelosi called the Centers, which has received $136,000 from the stimulus and employs 18 people with Jobs Now! funding, a "model to the nation of what our public policy should be." She toured the community center, and a group of young children even wrote the speaker a little ditty that went something like this:
"Nancy is here! Nancy is here! We're so happy, because Nancy is here!"
