2. Somehow, I Doubt Boehner Cares Much about Harry Reid's Advice.

Looks like Senate Democrats are telling incoming House Speaker John Boehner that passing bills to repeal Obamacare is a futile gesture, that they'll never let those bills pass the Senate: "The 112th Congress doesn't begin until Wednesday, but Senate Democrats are already vowing to block any attempts by the new GOP-led House to repeal the healthcare reform law. The Senate's top Democrats, led by Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.), wrote incoming House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Monday warning the new GOP House against advancing legislation that would undo the sweeping healthcare overhaul. . . . 'If House Republicans move forward with a repeal of the healthcare law that threatens consumer benefits like the 'Donut hole' fix, we will block it in the Senate. This proposal deserves a chance to work. It is too important to be treated as collateral damage in a partisan mission to repeal health care,' wrote Reid, Majority Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), Democratic Vice Chairman Charles Schumer (N.Y.), Conference Secretary Patty Murray (Wash.) and Policy Committee Vice Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (Mich.)."

I guess Harry Reid slept through the midterm elections. The Democrat talking points are literally obsessed with the "donut hole". [I wonder if that fits within Michelle O's diet plan... LOL]
