John Boehner, Speaker of the House, the face of opposition from his own party
This week saw a key event in the political agenda of the United States - the opening of Congress.
For legislators in Washington, it is a chance to get a haircut, buy a new suit and shake hands with the Vice President at the beginning of the term.
But the new season ushers in little change in the way politics is conducted.
The snow may have a significant effect on the city.
If a white veneer coated Washington this week, it softens the sound of passing vehicles along the main streets of the city.
The cream-colored building and equipment big fuzzy Capitol dome in the milky sky behind her.
It slows March politicians in their offices, in a way that seemed to predict a season of political impasse.
The onset of winter has come as lawmakers began the new policy meeting on Capitol Hill.
Men and Republican Women - win the midterm elections last November - were welcomed to the House of Representatives and the Senate.
And, as at the beginning of each adopted a register.
New senators and members sign their names in a special book and learn how to hold the pen.
New Republicans "freshman" large smile came to his face.
For the first time in eight years, they have the majority in both chambers.
This means they have the opportunity to develop - and passed - the legislation relative ease to them in the driver's seat of political.
There are obstacles.
Obstacles ahead
But there are two reasons why it is unlikely to be obvious.
The first is that President Obama intends to most Republicans propose laws veto.
The other is that the Republicans could be their own worst enemies.
Discover John Boehner.
The conservative veteran was just re-elected President of the House.
It was not as easy as it should have been.
President Obama can use his veto against his Republican opponent
In an act he has committed treason see 25 of his own party members voted against him - many of them supporters of the Tea Party, whose political goals is the separation of liberal agenda of President Obama.
Not only do they despise the idea of gay marriage, affordable health care for illegal immigrants and visa, but also their own speakers as too soft.
They - with more traditional conservatives - want tax reform and trade policy, the United States promotes economic prosperity.
Moreover, Boehner did not convert, as if bruised his Democratic opponent in the Senate, Harry Reid.
The minority leader of 72 years - a former boxer - appeared in his own video message has a sweater shabby and an eye patch.
He said he had fallen at home.
The scar, he said, was not the result of a fight - but he was not ready to lay down arms on behalf of America's political struggles.
All this makes it a showdown probably before 2016 when the next presidential election will take place.
And with the White House committed to working with its management and Republican produce their appease radical elements carefully could be long impasse after the snow has melted.
