#1 FTA:

Valerie Jarrett, the president's most trusted, probably most powerful, aide, once said in admiration that Mr. Obama has been bored his whole life. The implication was that he is above things, a man alone, and anointed. Perhaps this momenta presidency coming apart, the incompetent social engineering of an entire health-care systemwill now claim Mr. Obama's attention.

Or not.

#7 Why you've got to know Obamacare is DOOMED !

Bowie University, a historically black college in Maryland, is being forced to cancel its student healthcare policy because of Obamacare.

Bowie administrators determined that the cost of complying with President Obamas signature healthcare law would raise per semester costs from $50 for each student to $900. Instead, the university made the decision to simply end its healthcare coverage for students.

Bowie State University has suspended offering health insurance for domestic students for the 2013-2014 academic year, said the university in a statement.

#8 Don't be silly, B! They'll just slide into their parent's plans thanks to O'care, or find someone to fill out their paperwork for a $1,000 subsidy.

Either way, the taxpayers pay.

#10 The ACA has not even been fully implemented yet and the states are already in a budget pinch to pay for it. The real battles over Obamacare will start when the states begin demanding more federal money to offset their ACA induced budget short falls.

If Republicans in the House hold the line (and don't cave in as usual) political battles will get really ugly over the debt ceiling debate and again going into 2014 elections.

Rinos in the Senate have already proven they are useless to the Republicans. It will be up to the Republicans in the House to hold the line. Without additional federal funding the ACA will fail.

As Charles Krauthammer and others have written this week, the handwriting is on the wall for Democrats. They must regain the House and hold on to the Senate in both 2014 and 2016, or their entire liberal social engineering agenda could be set back fifty years.
