The republicans tried and tried to the last minute to kill Obamacare, even

shutting down the government because of it. Meanwhile the very day the government shuts down, sign up for Obamacare commences. Anyone want to refute that multi-dimensional chess the President plays?

He made them all look like fools and terrorists with the tactics they were pulling and all the while the bone of contention went ahead as planned giving people the opportunity to actually have insurance.

Now they have to find a way to walk back what they did and probably have been squashed already concerning the debt ceiling.
