t hip-check at the GOP. From HuffPo:
President Obama was very successful at crafting the perception that despite his tireless efforts to reach out to the GOP, they are slapping his hand away to score points with their base.

Still, I give her points for the Austin Powers-esque, "Allow myself to introduce...myself" phrasing of her statement.
t hip-check at the GOP.

"To tell you the truth, I could have fast-tracked this much faster," Pelosi, a California Democrat, told a group of reporters and progressive writers at a breakfast gathering Tuesday.
