All Americans Like John Boehner

Last night, much of America got its first glimpse of the man who is likely that the next President of the Chamber. So far, only those who stick with the policy knew Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH). In the coming months, most Americans will come to know "Speaker Boehner" likely will become the second most powerful person in the country. In his victory speech last night, Boehner was clearly overwhelmed by the emotion of the moment and began to mourn when talking about his rise to the "American dream."
As Chairman Boehner will now become the de facto face of the Republican Party the way Gingrich assumed the role of spokesman for the Republicans in 1995. Gingrich in 1995 adopted a hard line against compromise with then President Bill Clinton, and most analysts believe that backfired on the Republicans and Americans came to reject their obstructionism. In his speech winner, Boehner just sent a message of commitment, essentially saying that the President was in accordance with republican principles to ensure that any legislation passed.
At the same time, Boehner will have a difficult challenge as president. Many of the people who gave the Tea Party victories, including the tea party, expect results. In the same way that President Obama wins unrealistic expectation based, Chairman Boehner could face a backlash when it is able to produce much of what Republicans promised in their "Commitment to America." Even if Boehner is able to unite Republicans behind several controversial measures such as repealing the health reform, it is still unable to overcome a presidential veto to keep any legislation becoming law. Boehner In his speech seemed a preview of this problem, putting the responsibility on President Obama to reach solutions. You still have to see whether the argument goes well with the people who voted Republican.
