Even with a Democratic majority in Congress, President Barack Obama may face some political struggles as some Democrats, namely Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, have said that they will not necessarily go with everything the President says. Specifically, Pelosi wants tax hikes on the $250k+ bracket immediately, whereas the President has said he wants to withhold the hikes due to the current recession.

Reid and Pelosi are two of the biggest idiots that I have ever seen, I really don't know how they got that up high. And Pelosi wants to do the tax hikes now? She's nuts!

It's not shocking really as it was bound for Obama to get some conflict, even if it was within his own party as everybody has their own perspective on things. As for the tax hike, I hope that if those two are associated with some sort of corruption, that they get busted for it ASAP. As that's what it sounds like to me..

I really hope Obama whips the Democratic leadership behind doors. Pelosi and Reid are the clowns of America and have really embarrassed the party.

Like I said, the Democrats have an odd way of self destructing.

It is good that he faces at least some internal bumps because otherwise, socialism and regulations would be everywhere almost immediately.
