President Obama this week predicted that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) hasn't seen her last stint as House Speaker, an indication Democrats remain confident they can win back control of the House sometime in the not-too-distant future.

"What can I say about Nancy Pelosi?" Obama told members of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco on Thursday. "I think [she] will go down in history as one of the finest Speakers that we have ever had, and she is going to continue to be, in the future, one of the great Speakers that we’ve ever had."

(Republicans currently hold a 48-seat advantage in the House, meaning Democrats would need to pick up at least 25 spots in the 2012 elections to regain power. Obama's unsolicited remarks made no reference to a timeline for returning Pelosi to the Speakership.)

"People really didn’t think we were going to get healthcare passed," Obama said, "but Nancy helped prove them wrong."

She might. I know its hard for many Republicans to accept- but it was predicted that their hackery and obstructionism wasn't going to allow them to produce much in terms of jobs for the vast majority of the American people. And thus far, their utter lack of legislation in that regard has perhaps shown these predictions to be somewhat true. They have proven to want one thing above all others: wanting to get tax breaks for their campaign donors and everyone else's cosmetic tax breaks be dammed if those having 300% earnings increases over the last 20 years didn't get to get to 301%.

If the recovery actions on the job market coupled to the spending cuts we're about to see this year work out, it could be a worrisome year to those in the GOP that hailed Obama and Pelosi's plans as the next coming of Lenin.
