Nancy Pelosi Becomes the New Speaker of the House
(This is part of the national news I said I would throw in.)
Representative Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from San Fransisco, was elected today to be the next Speaker of the House of Representatives. She beat John Boehner, the House Minority Leader, 233-202 for the title. The vote was split down the middle. As many know Pelosi is the first ever female Speaker, and the closest woman ever to the presidency. She is the third most powerful person in the country.
Pelosi has said she wants to work with Republicans to get things done. She is often described as very liberal, something that Republicans tried to run on in November, but couldn't get through to the voters.
Congratulations and good luck Speaker Pelosi. Please work well with everyone in a bi-partisan manner because that is what we need.
