Claim: Rep. Nancy Pelosi seized on an old talking point, miscasting a now-famous quote by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell in 2010 about the goal of making Obama a "one-term president." On CNN's "State of the Union" on March 10, host Candy Crowley asked the leader of the House Democrats if President Barack Obama's stated commitment to helping return the House to Democratic power, with Pelosi at the helm, wasn't the same as McConnell's comment about his goal of making Obama a one-term president.
