The ACA isn't going anywhere. I hope Obama has plenty of ink for his veto stamp.
His priority should be to make the GOP majority a one term GOP majority
Let him veto everything That's fine People are fed up with democrats, you thought Hillary was a shoe in for 2016? Just let obama place his signature on a lot of veto's see what happens.
Yea, what will the American people support...the 54 bills the teabagger House passed to return health care to an ATM for insurance cartels, or the 191 bills the same teabaggers passed to eviscerate environmental protections?
ATM they support the Republicans because they are fed up with democrat bullshit and failure.
So, what will Americans support...the 54 bills to return health care into an ATM for insurance cartels, or
To be more accurate, less than a third of Americans even voted, and Repubes got a little more than half of that. Less than 1/6 of the country agreed with teabaggers. I wouldn't call that a mandate of any sort..
"Ladies and gentlemen, watch closely, the hands never leave the wrists..."
You really need to quit fantasizing about men dipping their nutsacks in your gaping yap.
That put down was epic! Libs are going to learn to quit using teabagger.
You think the midterms were a mandate, and you think a childish remark by a teabagger is epic. That's just silly teabagger.
Most people recognize the historic event that took place, they don't need your approval. And yes, droning on and on about nutsacks in your eager yap is unseemly.
No, most people don't know what just took place. A 30 year Republican staff member explains it, but don't feel bad, he mentions you in the article...see "low information voter"
Goodbye to All That Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult
"Over the last four decades, the Republican Party has transformed from a loyal opposition into an insurrectionary party that flouts the law when it is in the majority and threatens disorder when it is the minority. It is the party of Watergate and Iran-Contra, but also of the government shutdown in 1995 and the impeachment trial of 1999. If there is an earlier American precedent for today's Republican Party, it is the antebellum Southern Democrats of John Calhoun who threatened to nullify, or disregard, federal legislation they objected to and who later led the fight to secede from the union over slavery."
A couple of years ago, a Republican committee staff director told me candidly (and proudly) what the method was to all this obstruction and disruption. Should Republicans succeed in obstructing the Senate from doing its job, it would further lower Congress's generic favorability rating among the American people. By sabotaging the reputation of an institution of government, the party that is programmatically against government would come out the relative winner.
A deeply cynical tactic, to be sure, but a psychologically insightful one that plays on the weaknesses both of the voting public and the news media. There are tens of millions of low-information voters who hardly know which party controls which branch of government, let alone which party is pursuing a particular legislative tactic. These voters' confusion over who did what allows them to form the conclusion that "they are all crooks," and that "government is no good," further leading them to think, "a plague on both your houses" and "the parties are like two kids in a school yard." This ill-informed public cynicism, in its turn, further intensifies the long-term decline in public trust in government that has been taking place since the early 1960s - a distrust that has been stoked by Republican rhetoric at every turn ("Government is the problem," declared Ronald Reagan in 1980).
