lol, what's sad is that you believe they will. Repubs will pass multiple progressive bills that Obama will sign off on because if they don't they'll be held accountable in 2012 in the form of lost House and Senate seats. The presidency going to anyone but Obama looks unlikely until an actual Republican suitor who isn't radically left comes along, and that person doesn't exist save for Mitt Romney, who's all but a liberal anyway. Repubs will paint it as something other than progressive/liberal, but bottomline is they'll be passed eventually like they always have. Spending will come down though, but that was going to happen anyway based on Obama's own projections.
I don't think he was very specific on what he wanted, he sort of left it up to Congress. But it's not just to save face, it's to get the ball rolling on reform. Even Republicans are pledging to replace Obamacare, outright return to the status quo is no longer acceptable.
You're blaming the oil spil on Republicans? :awe: Put the blame where it belongs... BP.
I think Obamacare is horrible for the country but I don't see how Republicans can overturn it.
They can overturn it if they can come up with something better, which they can't.
You think regaining control of one part of the government counts as a resounding victory?
I agree, single payer would have been the way to go. Too bad the Dems caved to the Republican filibuster threat. :thumbsdown:

Article 1, Section 8. I don't see anything in the enumerated powers of Congress referring to controlling healthcare.

GOP voted to expand Medicare, so that debate is over.
Gaining double the usual amount of Senate seats, getting more house seats in 1 election since 1948, and absolutely CLEANING UP Governor seats (to to mention 12+ state legislatures that flipped) is NOT a resounding victory?
Are you serious dude? Like, really serious?
I'll add you to my list
People who feel the Republican's did NOT have a resounding victory:

Anyone else?
For their "resounding" victory I have a feeling they will have little to show for it once all is said and done.

Obama's agenda is stopped. Completely neutered. That's doing enough to save this country and get it back on track.

We the people are a fickle lot. We don't care about party ideologue. We care about whether we have jobs or not and we're angry. If the economy doesn't improve, the bums in D.C will be replaced by new bums, rinse and repeat.
Uh, no. They can now block the Obama Agenda. Should I add your name to the list?

Lol, Republicans and their lists, part of the grand tradition of Richard Nixon and Joseph McCarthy.![]()
GOP made a mistake. The debate is not over, its working its way to the supreme court as we speak
