Obama and Pelosi appeared together at a fundraiser in San Francisco — an intimate gathering hosted by environmental activist Tom Steyer from his home overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.

Obama said he couldn't have accomplished anything in Congress without a partner in the House. "Nancy Pelosi has been that partner, and I could not be prouder to work with her," he said.

"As I think some of you may have noticed, it's not like I agree with my Democratic caucus on everything,," Obama said, eliciting laughter from the audience — and a blush from Pelosi. "But on 98% of things, they're moving in the right direction and I know where their heart is, and I know what their values are, and I know what they care about," he said.

Pelosi helped sink an extension of trade adjustment assistance in the House last week, reversing her earlier support for the measure in the hopes that it would also scuttle Obama's request for "fast track" trade promotion authority. For days afterward, the White House declined to say whether the two had spoken since the rift.
