Unfortunately, this AFP story doesn’t reveal which reporter asked Pelosi the question, so we’ll never know if it was sycophantic idiocy or a joke.
At a press conference with reporters and children on “Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Day,” Pelosi had been asked whether she would ever run for president given her years of political experience.
“No. I love the job that I have,” said the speaker, who is behind only Vice President Joe Biden in the US order of succession.
“I believe that one of the reasons that I do it with the success that I have is that my members know that I am here for them, for the House of Representatives, and I’m not thinking of another career path for myself,” she said.
“But I’m very proud to be the Speaker of the House. It is a great honor, especially being the first woman,” said the California lawmaker.
The odds of Pelosi running for president are about as high as Obama telling the truth about healthcare.
First, she would have to oppose a sitting President of her own party. Second, Pelosi’s 69 years old now and if she somehow got elected, she’d be he oldest President to ever asume office. And third, her current approval level bumps along in the low 30s.
Other than minor issues, it’s a damn fine question.

Your gay aren't you? Bet that pointy little head of yours is getting real big and red right now too.
rip, your so clever, why don't you stick to posting on the huffington site.
John, nice edit. Why did you change your previous post of "why don't you stick to posting on the huffington site where the rest of you faggots stay." Because I guarantee I've been in more prime box in my life than you, and they all meant something, maaaaaaaan.
And I WAS clever enough to not vote for that piece of shit Bush in 2004. And to prove how REALLY clever I am, I was smart enough to not vote for him in 2000, because iot was obvious then how incompetent he was. Well, it was obvious to anyone who was paying attention, which certainly isn't enough (cough cough *** kinda like most of the people on this site ** cough cough).
Sure you would leave, Johnny Appleseed. And you know damn well that the country has already been proven to be full of morons: look at how many millions voted for gwb in 2004, after they all knew what a scheming liar he was.
We dodged a bullet there... The POTUS if one of the most photographed humans on the face of the Earth. Just imagine having to turn on a TV or open a newspaper and see her about 4600% more the we do now.
No Pelosi going after the White House spot? Gee, who knew?
In other news: Vegetarians decide to not allow hot dogs and pork chops on the menu for their cook out. Israel will not allow a sold gold statue of Adolf Hitler with a plaque that reads "He Was Great! Cool Guy!" to be erected in the middle of Tel Aviv. Lastly, a panel of government paid scientists have finished a $200 million pilot (all taxpayer funded) project that has preliminarily concluded feces has an unpleasant odor to it.
No person is shocked at any of these findings.
Remember how all those idiot liberals claimed they'd leave the country if Grorge Bush won? I REALLY would leave if pelosi was voted president. That would prove to me this country was filled with morons.
I think someone is in for a nasty surprise come November.....
Notice how she says she's there for the house of representatives and no the people of the United States. They all are there to keep themselves in power.
Huh, that's too bad, she would have made a fine president. ;]s
Just imagine what her bar tab would be if she was flying around in Air Force 1 all the time?
