ObamaCare Repeal Bill Gets 245 Votes; ObamaCare Passage Only Got 219 Votes

Philip Klein points out this fact at The American Spectator. As an indicator of majoritarian sentiment, I’d say that’s a pretty good argument for Republicans to push for a vote in the Senate.

Calling the Democrats’ Bluff

Armed with a rather bizarre CBO estimate — claiming to show that repealing ObamaCare would actually increase the deficit — the president is now trying to push Republicans off their game: President Obama officially drew a line in the sand Thursday evening, threatening to veto House Republicans’ attempt to repeal Obama’s landmark healthcare law.
