yeah. I'd bitch about Obamacare, but the fact is that the Senate and Baucus did craft it to include elements of Enzi, Barrasso and Coburn's plans. There's no way any goper would be allowed to vote for ANYTHING w/o getting TPM primaried.

And in 2008, Obama got a mandate to pass something. Amazing what happens when a party just walks away from the table ... when the other party has 60 senate seats.

He was elected twice while repubs said that he wouldn't because no one liked ACA.

Now they want to negotiate when they have no leverage. Actually the only leverage they seem to have is to call Obama a meany.
