He will probably wait a while then throw his support behind some gun legislation in Kuala Lumpur or Tim Buc Tu and associate that to Trayvon. He's much more of a tactical politician than an Attorney General.

House Votes to Delay ObamaCare (for 38th Time)

REPUBLICANS SAY THEY'VE GOT MOMENTUM, THANKS TO WHITE HOUSE BACKSTEPS

(AP) – House Republicans voted today to delay core provisions of ObamaCare, emboldened by the administration's concession that requiring companies to provide coverage for their workers next year may be too complicated. After a day of heated rhetoric, the House voted largely along party lines, 264-161, to delay by one year the so-called employer mandate of the Affordable Care Act. It voted 251-174 to extend a similar grace period to virtually all Americans who will be required to obtain coverage beginning Jan. 1, the linchpin of the law. The House legislation stands no chance in the Democratic-run Senate. Even if it somehow did, the White House promised two vetoes.

The dual political-show votes marked the 38th time the GOP majority has tried to eliminate, defund, or scale back the law since Republicans took control of the House in January 2011. "This administration cannot make its own law work," said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, during House debate. Eager to counter the Republican criticism, Obama plans to deliver remarks tomorrow focusing on rebates that consumers are already receiving from insurance companies under the health care law.
