Eager to stop Republicans from destroying his signature health care law, President Barack Obama and Democratic lawmakers will meet next week to try to forge a common strategy. Obama also plans a major valedictory speech in Chicago, his hometown, shortly before his presidency ends.
Obama will travel to the Capitol on Wednesday morning for the meeting with House and Senate Democrats, according to an invitation sent to lawmakers. The White House is casting it as an effort to unite Democrats behind a plan to protect the law, known as the Affordable Care Act, before Republicans have a chance to settle on their own plan for repealing it.
Democrats are on edge over the future of the ACA, given the GOP’s disdain for “Obamacare” and President-elect Donald Trump’s vows to gut it. Though Republicans are united behind the notion of repealing the law, they’re split over how best to replace it. Some want to strip out unpopular provisions while leaving others intact, while other Republicans prefer a start-from-scratch approach. …

The Jackass In Chief is such an arrogant fool, he could have done this months ago, but he assumed, like the rest of the Rats, that Crooked Hillary would win. It is to be funny!
The dipshit couldn’t even wait for after his tenure to get paid for it. What a putz. He will very shortly be a meaningless big ass mistake.
That's where Trump can start to unwind it.
BS, his “hometown” is Nairobi.
Democrats should be reminded every Democrat who voted for Obamacare got pink-slipped by the voters or has retired.
Americans want it gone. And if they listen to Obama, they are still in denial about their defeat in November.
Let them follow their Pied Piper. This will end badly... for them.
Please, please, please hop on the Obama health care train. Any defense of that mess will assure another 10 Senate seats in 2018.
OK guys
It is the 4th quarter with 1:35 to go. We are down by 24. Our QB is colin kaepernick. Our D-line is 24th in the league.
On top of that, they have the ball, the best rated O line in the league and Tom Brady is their QB.
Come up with a plan to win!
Speech in chitcago: “Now stop that. Cut it out.”
ROFLOL
The Democrats should hope the GOP repeals the ACA and removes it as a issue before 2018.
Obama wants to protect his non-existent legacy.
Oh wait... he didn’t build it.
...and the dems in the seats are not finished yet, 2018 is coming, and that is where the rest of the RATS will be going home...
He was only a good professional agitator with an affirmative action law degree.
All we saw was his talent to take the National credit card and to then wipe our credit out by doubling the debt.
He also agitated the country and internationally as President instead of showing any form of learning on the job or doing anything positive beyond listening to the military in taking Bin Laden out.
IMO should have been impeached out of office with the Fast and Furious gun running and the spying on the Washington press and our allies.
It is funny he charges Russia with what Obama himself has been doing as President. Only Obama got caught 100% spying on everyone.
Where are the Obama sanctions against Obama?
“The White House is casting it as an effort to unite Democrats behind a plan to protect the law, known as the Affordable Care Act”
Excellent. With obamacare in a death spiral, Democrat obstruction guarantees enough time for a complete collapse. Obama is setting the Dems up for yet another obamacacare suicide mission that guarantees that they will lose even more House and Senate seats two years from now even when Obama is no longer President.
With Donald Trump as President, the fake stream media no longer has the credibility to convince the American people with their lies that it’s all the Republicans fault. President Trump will come out blasting against that kind of fake stream media propaganda, unlike the frightened little Milquetoast Republicans of the past.
Come up with a plan to win:
Call the other team racist. That results in an arbitrary award of +25 points and the forfeiture of all remaining time on the clock.
Or simply bribe the scorekeeper using oil money.
Victory!
I’d love to watch Red State Senate Dems vote to defend a law unpopular with their constituents back home.
Looks like Obama wants to further decimate the Democratic Party. I’m all in favor of it.
He’s done a heckuva job of it over the past 8 years.
These cockroaches don’t know the meaning of losing. They need to be stomped on mercilessly. GO TRUMP.
Pissing into the wind.
