House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested she would make her future plans known on Wednesday morning on Capitol Hill.
Pelosi, the first woman to ever serve as speaker of the House, answered a question about her intention to remain as House minority leader by inviting reporters to gather for a press conference tomorrow morning.
"I'll see you right here, 10 o'clock, tomorrow morning," she said. That would allow her to first confer with fellow Democrats.
The 72-year-old California Democrat served as speaker for two full terms, but remained as Democrats' leader in the House following Republicans' takeover of the chamber during the 2010 midterm elections.
Pelosi had scheduled leadership elections for a date slightly later than usual, prompting speculation that she might relinquish her role as the top Democrat in the House -- a position she has held for a decade. Wednesday marks the 10 year anniversary of her ascension to that position.
Her tenure was most memorably defined by her tenure as speaker during the first two years of President Barack Obama's first term, during which time Pelosi helped shepherd Obama's landmark health care reform law to passage.
Pelosi's departure could set off a tough battle between House Democrats to replace her. Among the candidates could be her No. 2, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) or Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) -- among others.

The Wicked Witch of the West is going to retire??
Her and everyone involved in Government who is over the age of 65 should be forced to retire.Their thinking is all old school,they can't keep up with the pace of the changes going on in todays world.It is time for them to step aside,and let some younger and more modern thinkers take the helm.They are still trying to run a modern day country,based on old ass ideas that were out dated 25 years ago,just like they were.
I don't agree. Smarter and younger have no connection.
With age comes wisdom.
Watch the KILLING FIELDS some time.
Maybe someone in the middle Tweet... That Bi-atch has worn her ugly throne out. She got filty rich off of taxpayers money and lives like a queen while her state is going to hell in a handbasket. I say cap their damn salary's they make too much damn money. Did you know that after she retires, she still gets 300,000 per year? thats right I didnt think you knew that. Naive voters that vote these idiots in the whitehouse don't know that either. They lie like dogs..they do not care for the poor, they just use them for excuses to enrich themselves. Pelosi, Reed, Clinton, Sheila Jackson lee..They all belong in Prison!!!
Wow the rabid ridiculous right in their last gasps
how pathetically desperate and disgusting
But please keep it up ...nothing makes a liberal look better than you
If the repubics keep pushing the Benghazi crap I am sure Holder in company will release more information on Senators and House Representatives. They probably know who is zooming who in the Washington circles. I would be very careful if I were one of the rethuglicans. They may be sending a message don't f%&k with us are you will pay. Let's see if the repubics keep pushing the president on Benghazi. If the rethuglicans back off then we know the Obama team hit a nerve. The republicans have to learn that Obama is know one to mess with he plays hard ball just ask OBL.

You can tell she made it big in silicon valley.
Her tits will still be firm 20 after she dies. She is stacked
I think the Botox got into her brain. not much going on in there.
Here's to Pelosi...................................Falling down a flight of stairs.
I am sick and tired of looney tune left wing liberal 'political drama'. Nancy, anyone with an I.Q. above room temperature could not care less what you do.
She wants out of the limelight. Probably can make more insider trading deals if she doesn't waste time trying to be a leader. I would love to see her busted on corruption charges.
Personal wealth in America took a big hit the last 5 years.
Personal wealth in Congress has gone way up in the same time.
Please don't disappoint us.......pleeeeaaasssse.
Ms. "we'll have to pass it before you can see what's in it" couldn't leave fast enough to suit me.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion.
"In God we trust" but who's God, From what religion and the same for "under God" who's God from what religion the we the People "under God"
Remove "In God We Trust" from the U.S. currency and remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance.
The United States added "In God We Trust" to our currency and added "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance in the 1950s to show the world that we were not "godless communists". This was a blatant violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which clearly states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". This act blatantly respected the Christian establishment. Please help me in undoing this act of religious favoritism and "communist fear" by signing this petition.

Jesus Loves you getreal3327 You need to read your bible before you state that comment. Religeon should be a factor in congress. Think how this country was before they started to remove god in every aspect of our lives. The day they remove in god we trust is the day a dark spirit will hover the earth my friend. Children use to respect their elders and parents now look at what we got. if Atheist don't like it, they can go and form their own country. This country will survive "With God"
I hope she decides to leave. I've had it with that a** kissing liberal.
I hope she announces that she is terminal ill!
This one hurts but worth pondering.

Perfect Quote
Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that you can quickly understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper Prager Zeitungon .
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."
AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, HE IS THE PROBLEM, BUT THE IGNORANCE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IS A LARGER PROBLEM AND STILL WILL BE 4 YEARS FROM NOW !!!
Republicans this, democrats that, blah blah blah. Truth is people, we, the American people, are totally screwed, ain't NOTHIN, gonna change that. ONE AND DONE, LOCK AND LOAD!
Pelosi is the most stupid woman ever to stand at that podium. Remember her statement regarding the Obamacare bill. "You have to sign it first before you know what's in it" Well Nancy, do you or any other person SIGN an important document/contract FIRST before READING it? I know I don't. I actually take the time to read that document when I buy a car, my house, house insurance, life insurance, etc., You get my message? And for someone who holds such a high office, to make a STUPID statement such as that, in my book needs to step down and immediately head for "imbecile rehab." And while you're at it, grab Harry Reid on your way too.
She would probably sign her soul over to the devil before she reads that as well! Ooops... too late!

You all haven't begun paying for Obamacare yet. Are you going to be in for a big surprise. It starts with the employers in 2013 and then you all are going to start paying in 2014. Save your money, your going to need it come 2014.
But not to worry, Obamacare's full range of benefits don't mature until 2024. You're going to love paying 10 years before you get to use all its benefits.
The good part is that you'll get to use the free death counseling right away when its determined that the treatments you need cost more than the government and insurance companies deem you life is worth.
dont just kick pelosi around for insider trading every one without a conscience does it in washington,boner the drunk included,puppeteer McConnell also,that other weasel the boxer,reid,they are all crumbs,we need new apprentice th ieves in washington,and i don't mean ryan either,i mean hardworking politicians who have fought in the chickenhawks wars.
Mike:
Pelosi, Kerry and others were millionaires, or married into multimillion dollar families to begin with. Pelosi is part of the DelMonte Corporation. She doesn't have to invest anywhere. Her dividends arrive automatically, offshore.
Da Gunny
Time to hang up the broom stick grandma.
Her future plans turn the United States into a bankrupt country just like like her state California
Stop all the pretense. Start working on the economy! Get the job done!
Nancy Pelosi is a stain on the face of humanity. Her narcissism approaches that of Obama's. What makes her think we care what her "plans" are to further erode America? Just do it. The majority of Americans don't care anymore and have accepted the notion of forcible legislation.
Let me start with something John Kennedy once said. "My fellow Americans." Now let me improvise. Those of you that support the likes of Nancy Pelosi disgust me.
Stay Nancy, you've done a great job!!! As usual all the whiners and bad mouthers on the right are out in full force on this story. They apparently haven't learned a thing from the shellacking they took on this election. I can't really decide whether they are really the nasty Tea Party crowd they appear to be or whether they are really on our side just trying to make the TP look bad. If it's the latter, PLEASE, by all means, keep it up. You're doing a great job because I, and probably a whole slew of others on here, would certainly NOT want to be like you! You are definitely helping us look forward to doing even more house cleaning in two years!
Yep she's doing a great job of turning the United Sates into another Greece
I'm guessing that all republicans and most democrats in the House would like to see her leave the leadership position. To my thinking, she's been a net negative.
Wonder is Pelosi will consider us? the U.S. hard-strapped taxpayers....Or will her plans only be for herself and more expensive 'free' rides on private aircraft that we have to pay for - for her and her theiving family and buddies?? between her an MO (Barry Soto's wife)....how much have we paid out for their non-business trips over the past 4 years? liers...theives...and hos.....are running this country now.....
