Coming Up on 'This Week': Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
Democratic leader discusses Obama's jobs bill, "Occupy Wall Street" movement.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6, 2011— -- Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi goes one on one with Christiane Amanpour in a "This Week" exclusive.
How will Democrats get President Obama's jobs bill through Congress? President Obama says that if Congress fails to act, "the American people will run them out of town." But could Republican resistance help launch House Democrats back to the majority? And will more Democrats support the growing movement to "occupy Wall Street?" Nancy Pelosi, only on "This Week."
Plus, the Republican field appears to be set. With Chris Christie and Sarah Palin sitting out, Herman Cain surging and Rick Perry stumbling, will Mitt Romney break out of the pack? Our powerhouse roundtable, with George Will, political strategist Matthew Dowd, Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal and Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, will be joined by Mississippi governor and former RNC chairman Haley Barbour to size up the race for the Republican nomination. As the 2012 campaign kicks into high gear, can Washington overcome gridlock and fix the economy? And what is the way forward on creating jobs?
