“Did you read the opinion piece? The headline is highly misleading.”

Yeah I read it.

“So we have to be straight with each other, and more importantly, we have to be straight with the American people. We can’t promise that we can repeal Obamacare when a guy with the last name Obama is president. All that does is set us up for failure . . . and disappointment . . . and recriminations.

“When voices in the conservative movement demand things that they know we can’t achieve with a Democrat in the White House, all that does is depress our base and in turn help Democrats stay in the White House. We can’t do that anymore.”

What depresses our base is we have a majority republican party in Congress and Obama and the democrats still are getting everything they want. So again. Pound sand Ryan.

Yup.

We can't promise that we can repeal Obamacare when a guy with the last name Obama is president.

Maybe not, but you don't have to fund it and Planned Parenthood while you are at it.

Yeah I read it.

In reading the opinion piece, it is clearly written from a leftist democrat perspective by a democrat blogger at the Washington Compost. Therefore, it might be more worthwhile to read the ACTUAL SPEECH rather than just accepting the democrat spin on the speech.
