Election Outcome May Complicate Obama's Foreign Policy
(Washington Post) Mary Beth Sheridan and Greg Jaffe - The midterm elections focused almost exclusively on domestic issues. But Tuesday's outcome may result in Republicans using their new strength to question the president's policies toward countries such as Syria and Israel. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), a strong supporter of Israel, will probably take command of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, replacing Howard Berman (D-Calif.), who had been largely sympathetic to Obama's agenda.
