Can you say, “repeal?”

The problem with repeal is if the Republicans actually get control of the House and Senate, and pass a bill repealing Obama-care , then Obama can veto it. Sending it back to the House and Senate, where a 2/3 majority has to vote to override it. 2/3 in both houses, That means 290 Representatives, and 66 Senators.

If the GOP gets majorities in both Houses, why not exclude it from funding in the annual budget saying there is no money to cover it and let Obama veto the budget and effectively shutdown government?

There's ANOTHER way to stop this in 2011.

A GOP House could refuse to fund any of it. Of course, the Senate would refuse the the House bill in conference and the Prez would refuse to sign such a spending bill.

This would set up another "gridlock" episode circa 1995.

then, the real fight starts.
