Obama, the former Illinois senator, knows what it will mean for the last two years of his presidency.
"If we lose the Senate, for one thing, the way this Senate's been operating, they could end up blocking all my appointments so that I can't get the people I want to be in a position to move my agenda forward," he said in an interview last week on the "Rickey Smiley Morning Show." ''If we lose the Senate, I guarantee you they're going to try to roll back health care legislation again."
The new committees would be filled in January or February.

Harry Reid's been blocking appointees?
To: Citizen Zed
At least the gun-grabbing Surgeon General choice. Even the Dems can’t stomach that.

Republicans don’t have to “roll back” health care. They can simply return to conscientious budgeting and submit spending bills with specific authorizations and the levels of spending. If republicans do not offer any funding for a stipulated purpose, they should include language that there shall be so reassignment of funds for any purpose not authorized in the spending document, irrespective of prevailing priorities. If there is interest in funding something not specifically authorized, a new bill requesting it should be introduced.

Won’t happen.
The GOPe controlled both houses of Congress and the White House before, they did not defund Planned Parenthood, NPR or PBS did they? They did not really cut any spending.
As Boehner said in 2010 “ObamaCare is the law of the land and it will be funded”

Typically,yes it would.
But remember, we’re talking about republicans here.
If Harry whines loud enough they’ll probably let the dems keep 50% of the chairmanships.

Definitely will. When the SHTF in 2015 with Obamacare, every Republican wants to be on record that they tried to kill it. I would go so far to venture that Democrats up for reelection in 2016 also vote to kill it.
Everyone is going to throw this back into Obama’s court and are going to force his veto.

The senator (McCain) who lost to Obama in the 2008 presidential election has never suffered fools or equivocating witnesses gladly... Other than himself, of course.

“As Boehner said in 2010 ObamaCare is the law of the land and it will be funded”
With a minority in the senate, what was he to say? Republicans take the majority Obamacare is going bye bye, unless Obama vetoes any vote. Millions are about to lose their insurance.
No one wants this attached to them in 2016.

Definitely will. No, they won't. Repealing it would require they come up with an alternative.

Don't count on it!
DemocRATs are STEALING ELECTIONS BEFORE we vote !
Here's a
MUST WATCH VIDEO about STEALING ELECTIONS ! Make sure you tell ALL your acquaintances to watch it, and watch it RIGHT NOW !
HBO Hacking Democracy The Pima County Way, Card Reader and RTA Election. ( 16:30 )
By AUDITAZ Uploaded on Apr 24, 2011
In the RTA election of May 16, 2006 more than 100 optical scanners failed on Election Day at various precincts.
Election day I was out inspecting precincts and once I found that a large number of optical scanners were failing to work at the precincts.
I called Rep. Ted Downing, (Chair of State Party Election Integrity committee) also (at that time) the Chair of our county party "Donna Branch-G".
Both went to the election department to see what the problem was
and that is when they found the Microsoft -Access manual open right next to the central tabulator.
Donna and Ted took pictures of this.
Both were told that they had no oversight rights becausethis was a nonpartisan election
thus stopping us from actually finding outif MS-access was on the system
and if the central tabulator networked to other computers in the office.
By the time we got to check the computer several months later the program was gone.
However, we did find MS-Access on the Maricopa Election Department and that system count 58% of the vote state wide.
The Diebold-GEMS software is built on MS-Access program.
It is illegal by state law to have software that has not been approved and or certified by the SOS office such as MS- Access.
This is becauseMS Access easily backdoors the database
and one could change anything they want by passing the GEMS Audit log.
To make it worsethe normal backup which was always done EVERY election night and/or major event was not until the following Friday at 5:01pm.
Additional Facts:In the case of the RTA, the election department after processing 13,000 early ballots 6 days out,went in early the next morningand did a backup over that databasedestroying that file called "early ballots day 1"
and replaced it with a new day 1 backup,then illegally printed (5 days before the election) 2 election summary reports 10 minutes apart.
These reports by law are not supposed to be printed until one hour after the polls close.
Such a process took many computer moves that could never be a simple "slip of the finger".
Fact: Even though Brian Crane told the Judge Millerthis was a normal practice,
examination of the computer logs showed this had only been done one other time since 2000.
In actuality, Bryan Crane did backups at lunchand before he went home at night.

Republicans take the majority Obamacare is going bye bye, unless Obama vetoes any vote. Won't have to. Any move to repeal will never make it past the filibuster.
Millions are about to lose their insurance.
Millions would lose their insurance with a repeal, too.
To: GeronL
The chairmen are as deck chairs on the titanic. Same ending, unfortunately. Bloop!

What filibuster? Either deem it like the rats did Obamacare or go nuclear, since Harry Reid opened that door.

Who cares? You do it in January and you have two years to change whatever you want. Screw the MSM. Was a matter of fact, I would go so far as to bring up the fairness doctrine as a bill. Change it to hurt the Slimes, MSNBC, etc. Watch the rats scream.
