Say what? Can't hear you over the sound of dersive laughter and Boehner's sniveling.

House Speaker John Boehner said on Thursday that Obamacare was “the law of the land” – apparently conceding that GOP efforts to repeal President Barack Obama’s healthcare law have ended.
Boehner, the nation’s top elected Republican, hinted in an interview with ABC News that Congress would not undertake efforts to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
“The election changes that,” Boehner responded to a question about whether Congress would undertake repeal efforts next year. “It's pretty clear that the president was re-elected. Obamacare is the law of the land.

“I think there are parts of the healthcare law that are going to be very difficult to implement,” he added. “And very expensive. And as the time when we're trying to find a way to create a path toward a balanced budget, everything has to be on the table.”
When asked whether GOP legislators would spend time working to repeal Obamacare, Boehner reiterated: “There certainly may be parts of it that we believe need to be changed. We may do that. No decisions at this point.”
But Kevin Smith, a Boehner spokesman, sought to clarify the speaker’s remarks later on Thursday.
"While Obamacare is the law of the land, it is costing us jobs and threatening our health care," Smith told NBC News. "Speaker Boehner and House Republicans remain committed to repealing the law, and he said in the interview it would be on the table."
The Supreme Court's controversial 5-4 ruling in June – in which Chief Justice John Roberts changed his position to side the with court’s liberal wing to uphold the law’s constitutionality – disarmed conservatives of one of their best possible chances of defeating Obamacare once and for all.

“I say the WE THE PEOPLE RULE THIS LAND. Kick their butts till they cry uncle. I am sick of this dictator Kenyan and the wet noodle RINOS!!!!!”
Actually we don’t rule this land. There’s a bunch of guys on Wall Street and various places in Europe that tell our elected officials what they’re going to do and when they’re going to do it. The two party system is perfect for the oligarchs as it keeps the Smurfs quiet and makes them think they actually have a choice. The only system better for them is a dictatorship.
sure they can. Do you think anyone in the house has the balls to do it and the support to back them up?

Thanks to the majority of Republicans in the House of Representatives who voted to fund it.

Only 91 Members of the House of Representatives stood with the majority of Americans who are against the President’s health care law.
Gee, “law of the land”? Can’t be stopped?
Too bad the Congress lacks the power to do spending bills.
If Congress had power over the spending bills, it could simply refuse to fund Obaba’s Cr*pCare.
It would take some guts though.
