Should Nancy Pelosi inspire loyalty?

It appears that Nancy Pelosi is willing to shove conservative Blue Dog Democrats out on a limb in order to do Obama's bidding and get a bill passed before the August recess. She has no skin in the game, as her district did not vote for her as a fiscal conservative. It unfortunately is a loyalty that cuts one way, trying collecting chits when you are no longer in office because you were turned out for following the party line by voting for bills you did not even have time to read. This is like FDR's efforts to pack the Supreme Court, he overreached. Well Pelosi and Obama are overreaching this time, the Senate will not go along, and many conservative Democrats might not either.
