And she used to be such a good lapdog.

(The Hill) — House Democratic leaders are prepared to buck President Obama with a ‘no’ vote on the 2011 spending deal he struck with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

Two members of the House Democratic leadership team, Caucus Chairman John Larson (Conn.) and Vice Chairman Xavier Becerra (Calif.), told The Hill they would oppose the legislation, while Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) said he might vote ‘yes’ but has not committed to supporting the bill.

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) has kept silent on her position, and senior Democrats said they have not been told how she plans to vote.

“We’ll see,” is all Pelosi would tell The Hill when asked her position late Thursday.

Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) said that while he would likely vote yes, Pelosi should vote no on the bill to send a message to Obama from House Democrats disenchanted with the deal.
