Republicans: We Don't Care What It Has! Repeal "OBAMACARE!"
The New York Post puts their spin on the Supreme Court ruling. The controversial cover shows President Barack Obama a doctor with a huge needle and a smirking smile. Another political dog whistle to rile up White voters.
In the middle of July, after their umpteenth congressional break, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) calls upon a vote to repeal the Affordable Health Care Reform Act (aka Obamacare).
After the U.S. Supreme Court ruling declaring the health care law stands, many Republicans were caught off guard by the Chief Justice John Roberts decision to ally with the liberal wing of the court.
So instead of moving on, the Republicans want to rehash the debate about how Obamacare is not only a "job killer" but a "huge tax burden" on the American people. The Sunday morning programs had the Republican leaders and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-California, Minority Leader) on. Each of them had an opportunity to explain the landmark court ruling and the outcome of this election.
Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky, Minority Leader) was on Fox News Sunday. He opened up a huge burden when he told conservative host Chris Wallace that insuring 30 million Americans isn't an important agenda. When host Wallace asked about the notion of repealing Obamacare could result in 30 million people losing out health care, Senator McConnell declared covering 30 million uninsured is "not the issue"!

CBS Face The Nation host Norah O'Donnell asked Speaker Boehner about the positive impacts of the health care law. One in particular, a portion the law covering young adults until they turn 26 years old. When O'Donnell asked the speaker about what he intends on doing to replace the law, no answer. Just another song and dance about how it's important that the Republicans find "common sense" solutions to replacing the entire law. Speaker Boehner refuses to acknowledge the positive impacts of this law.
