I just wanted to take a moment to comment on the repeal of Obamacare that just passed the house. What struck me about it was just how easy it was. No arms needed to be twisted. No pork needed to be dished out. But on bipartisan lines, a vote to repeal easily passed. Contrast that with the effort required to pass Obamacare in the first place. not a single Republican vote could be garnered (or maybe they got just one in the house, I forget), and when the house finally passed the Senate bill, it was a week log excruciating arm twisting effort.

Can there really be any doubt as to what the will of the people really is?

Between court challenges and salami slicing away at the bill that is bound to take place over he next two years, I do not seeing Obamacare being implemented, at least not in the way it is currently written. And assuming that a Republican takes the White House in 2012, its eventual repeal is all but assured.

And so I ask my liberal progressive friends out there, was that all worth it? Really?
