1. I love that first pic of Obama.

You can just see the mischievous kid he once was.

[flamingdem]

2. I thought it was a Teaparty photoshop

and he had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth! (at first)

[etherealtruth]

4. So did I

Not that it actually matters (politically not at all/ personally very much) did he ever really quit?

[flamingdem]

7. I think he stuck with it this time

after going through a few failed attempts

[etherealtruth]

9. Addiction is rough

If he was able to do it great for him!

[Ken Burch]

8. It's more like "I drink your tea shake".

And he'd suddenly turned into Barack Hussein Plainview.

[sheshe2]

6. It kinda makes you want to LOL!

And to the GOP~

[flamingdem]

25. It's been a good week

Obama cares! 8 mill more supporters and many more to come as states cave to demand!

[sheshe2]

26. You got that right flamingdem!

It has been a great week! Excellent news coming from the White House. Some may not like it yet it is a fact!

The Repubs are tearing their hair out. Hair on fire! Oh my gosh! Repeal! Repeal!

I think you are right. They are going to cave after they make their last stand. I truly hope their last stand will be the 2014 elections...when they lose everything and then we win big time.

50. Here! Here!

How much taxpayer money was spent on the 50 votes to repeal the ACA? I thought the GOP was the party of "fiscal responsibility." Maybe a movie can be made called "Boehner's Last Stand."

[sheshe2]

51. Hi mimi~

Here is the cost...

You've got to give them credit for . . . for . . . persistence? House Republicans voted for the 50th time, voted 250-160 to roll back part of Obamacare. This time it was for a delay of the individual mandate, and a tacit acknowledgment that, yeah, the law is here to stay. Otherwise why vote to delay part of it?

The bill is not expected to be taken up at all in the Senate, but Republicans hope it can bolster their case for taking the Senate in this fall's midterm elections. The party wants to make the elections as much as possible about the problems of ObamaCare, and is hoping to exploit Democratic division on the issue.
How many times have you read a variation on that paragraph in the last three years? At least 50! At a cost to taxpayers of something like $72.5 million, in case you're keeping track.

That's putting a lot of eggs into a one very flimsy basket, as Markos pointed out earlier. Obamacare isn't the same issue it was in 2010, and it's not hurting Democrats now. By November, lots of people will have gotten coverage, and lots of people in red states will have noticed that they didn't get health care because of their Republican leaders. That's gonna hurt.
