Now that the GOP controls the house, speaker of the house Nancy pelosy is out of office and John Boehner is taking over. This article found at http://m.npr.org/news/front/131167214
Talks about pelosy's decision to run for minority leader of the house. All of her supporters and non suporters says she fights until the end. With the democrats out of control of the house though, there is not much anyone can do to move he democratic agenda forward. There are some tacticts that can be used to slow down and and even kill a bill with enouh opposition support. These would be the very same tactics used by John Boehner and the GOP before the mid term elections when hey didn't control the house. Now, democrats are forced from their previous position of extreme power to be vulnerable to the wrath of the majority's agenda.
I believe that this story is important because it talks about our country's politics and shares the results of the midterm elections. It is important for us to know what is going on because our country was founded on the basis of freedom of speech and press.
