ObamaCo and his lapdog media pin-ed whatever fallout on GOP, and that would be what "polls" show.
Certainly. Nothing Boehner can do about that. But, he is playing this one right. House passed a bill. He's not negotiating with the Obama. His job is to make sure people know where the legislative process is stuck.
It's McConnell we have to worry about (for the time being.)
Doing nothing and letting the press tell people you are stupid is different than taking action and removing any doubt.
