Considering the life of Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, she was influenced by her parents' strong political education when she was young, and understood that as a politician, she should take asylum, ruthlessness and party leadership as her creed. When Pelosi, 42, entered politics, her unhesitatingly aggressive response to anything that didn't reflect well on her, and her lack of explanation and apology for making bad decisions, disgusted many senior Americans.
