A source in a closed-door House GOP conference meeting told National Review that Speaker John Boehner said "targeted strikes" would ultimately undermine President Obama's health care law.
Said Boehner: "Remember the strategy for stopping Obamacare we laid out to you back in July. It had two components: Aggressive, coordinated oversight, and targeted legislative strikes aimed at shattering the legislative coalition the president has used to force his law on the nation. That plan is being executed as we speak."

(25,237 posts)I hate to say it - but this constant chipping away seems to be working. I heard yesterday that some House Dems are getting nervous; Feinstein in the Senate is getting nervous; Bill Clinton didn't help things; the MSM seems to have picked up the charge of the Repugs and are only talking about the negatives; the President's poll numbers are down because they've taken up the meme that he lied; the insurance companies have contributed by canceling policies. I don't see many Dems coming to the defense or standing up for things.
I'm hoping that the President pulls this out today. I hear he is going to discuss this later this morning.
Now if the MSM reported about Boehner's strategy as in the OP and quoted him and ran with that continuously - maybe the American People would catch on. But instead the MSM likes to report about the negative as it makes the President and the ACA look bad.

(27,315 posts)may be on the margins, but talk loud for the Tea Party. After all, insurance companies like Obamacare. (This is at least the Tea Party analysis and the reason why they primaried the GOP leadership).
