When President Obama meets with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi next year, he may face a lot more resistance than he’s used to from his longtime ally.

The shift from Speaker to opposition leader will undoubtedly change Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) relationship with the White House, and may force her away from a president she has rarely abandoned in the past two years.

As Obama decides whether and how much to compromise with the new Republican majority in the House, Pelosi is facing pressure from empowered liberals in her caucus to take a harder line with the administration.

Maybe, but Obama's own actions will quickly disabuse anyone of the notion he's anything but a campus leftist of the community organizer variety.

Even Mrs. Bill Ayers is echoing the “moderate” talking points.
