  A Pyrrhic victory for Obama and the Democrats. In the end, the merits of the bill were less important than passing it to save face—even supporters admit that ObamaCare is flawed; they intimidated, scolded, and threatened their way to passing this fiscal disaster. It will cost them the house in November and it will ruin their brand for decades when Americans realize that the monumental price tag of ObamaCare (passed with student loan provisions too!) will not control health care costs. The CBO numbers were concocted by budget gimmicks, such as using 10 years of new taxes to fund six years of benefits. Absurd. If this new huge entitlement actually “saves” money as the tortured CBO report stated , it will be the first in history.

    I agree, not to mention the lawsuits and Constitutional challenges in the years ahead.

  A Pyrrhic victory but a victory for the statist cause nonetheless, elections in November be dammed.

  I honestly don’t care what happens in November. I only want to exploit every avenue possible in order to dismantle, piece by piece, this monstrosity.

  i am convinced after this past year of watching partisan whims become law at any cost that the only way to rid ourselves of this affront to democracy is to do everything in our power to get rid of those that voted for the legislation.

  to get this legislation passed, the democrats that were for this bill exposed themselves as morally and ethically challenged as their leadership, and in some cases with even less integrity.

  obama was supposed to unite all sides. he was supposed to end class, political, and racial differences. all he has accomplished so far is making this country far more divided.

  november is 7 months away. i wish it were next week. i pray that people remember this day, and read what their legislators just passed.
