Texas GOP House members show approval of new Obamacare attack

As Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, told the House GOP caucus that he favored adding a one-year delay of Obamacare and a repeal of the program’s medical-device tax to the continuing budget resolution before the House, Texas lawmakers enthusiastically endorsed the plan.

Rep. John Culberson, R-Houston, confirmed reports that “like 9/11,” he yelled “Let’s roll!” as others applauded.

Boehner earned a big thumbs up from Louie Gohmert, R-Tyler, and shortly afterward Pete Sessions, R-Dallas, called Boehner “our great Speaker.”

The House was expected to vote on the measure later tonight, and the leadership expected a unanimous GOP vote.
