"...eh we'll see"

Caught between nervous Democrats and emboldened Republicans, President Barack Obama on Friday stepped up the sales pitch on his health care overhaul as the final elements of his top domestic achievement go into effect. With his legacy and the law’s success at stake, Obama said: “The law is here to stay.”
Behind the scenes, the White House readied a campaign-style effort to get healthy young people to sign up for the insurance “exchanges” in order to keep premium costs from skyrocketing. On Capitol Hill, House Republicans are planning yet another vote to try to try to repeal the law. …
The effort comes as the public remains divided over the health care law. As a result, the White House is planning an election-like campaign to target those uninsured or individually insured young people, an effort reminiscent of the sophisticated voter outreach that helped Obama win twice win the White House. The administration has identified where many of the healthy and uninsured young live and will be working with health clinics, hospitals, churches and other groups to sign them up for the exchanges. …

Too bad its not gonna be up to you, a-hole.
The fact that he felt compelled to make that claim is the best news in a long time on ObamaCare. It is not here to stay, and we have a chance to kill it if we stick to our guns (figuratively!). Otherwise, our lives will be in the hands of politically motivated bureaucrats forever.
"...eh we'll see"
Obama (HIMSELF) is not here to stay....
Like hell it is. Obama can blow it out of his treasonous communist ARSE!!
Wanna bet, Jugears?
His lips were moving so we know he was lying.
“Heil Hitler”
He be bad!
Blow it out your @$$, Odinga!!!!!
These traitors are using taxpayer monies to continue trying to sell Obamacare. Can’t the House stop this waste of our money ??
We’ll see, O’ODorko.

If you read between the lines of this MSM piece, you detect a great deal of nervousness on the part of the left that their baby (Obamacare) might not survive.
This figures to be an excellent time for the GOP controlled House to vote to repeal it again. But the repeal should be followed up by a publicity campaign explaining to the low-info types that Obamacare might cost them their employer-sponsored health insurance and even their jobs - just for starters. The House Republicans should make it clear to the public that having passed repeal, the ball is in the court of the Senate Dems and the White House to either follow suit and get rid of Obamacare altogether, or to do nothing and let the Obamacare train wreck proceed as scheduled. Whichever way the 'Rats go, it seems like it sets up a win-win dynamic for the Pubbies in the 2014 midterm elections. (But judging from past experiences, is this too much to hope for from the House GOP?)
Please see my post # 15.
It was declared a tax by the SC. That means it is unconsitional since all taxes must originate in the House, not the Senate.
Hopefully they’ll both be gone before long.
This is a typical socialist technique. First force through some program, then when the opposition tries to get rid of it, the socialists go into a defensive mode, counting on the inertia of the existing program to save it.
However, Chief Justice Roberts outsmarted them. Their ace in the hole was justice Kennedy, who they could count on to vote with the liberal side of the court on big issues, but only if he was the deciding vote. So had Roberts voted against Obamacare, Kennedy would have crossed over to give it a majority in its purest, and most evil form.
But if the Chief Justice votes with the majority, one of his unique powers is assigning who gets to write the decision, and he did so himself.
Among other things, he made it *easy* for congress to kill Obamacare, by declaring that the demands on citizens were taxes. Taxes are different, because they do not need a 2/3rds majority to be changed in congress, only a *simple* majority.
So if half + 1 of the (Republican) Senate, and half + 1 of the (Republican) House vote to kill Obamacare, either all at once or by neutering the beast, the Democrats cannot block it.
This means that thought the RINOs in congress will likely vote to keep Obamacare, as soon as the conservatives eject them, Obamacare is dead as a doornail.
Whenever a coward is afraid, it asserts itself like a bully. The clown is scared...and this little episode shows that fact.
