The GOP was acting like a disorganized tropical storm. Obama has just organized them and given them

an eye. Way to take the bull by the horns and define the GOP for the 2014 elections. The GOP talking heads are doing all they can to try and undo the picture Obama painted today. DU please make this a meme out there. Repeat it whenever you can.

Here is what Obama said:


"I think the really interesting question is why it is that my friends in the other party have made the idea of preventing these people from getting health care their holy grail, their number one priority," Obama said Friday at a press conference. "Their unifying principle is making sure 30 million people don't have health care."

He just put it out there simply. Hell, this was their idea in the first place.
