House Speaker Nancy Pelosi feeling ever confident said that while she hoped that the budget will get bipartisan support it will pass even if the GOP balks.

From the Politico

As Senate Democrats continued to wrangle over their version of the budget, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicted swift passage in her chamber — with or without GOP support.

“I hope the bill will pass with bipartisan support,” said Pelosi, who has often preached against banking on Republican support in the lower chamber. “But the bill will pass.”

She made her comments after lunching with Vice President Joe Biden, who emerged — all smiles — to predict President Barack Obama’s $3.6 trillion spending plan will pass “with all major elements intact.”

The whopping size of the Obama budget has given the GOP pause as well as ammunition to criticize the president, but with the lopsided count in congress there is little they can do unless some Democrats vote their conscience rather than just follow the leadership in taking this country down a path of no return.
