So moving on from the SOTU speech, the good Senator Jim DeMint says let's get back to work and finish what the House started with the repeal of Obamacare!

A very encouraging thing to hear is that McConnell and DeMint appear to be in sync with the repeal effort. "Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has said he'll "assure" a Senate vote on repeal, and on Tuesday night made a procedural move to add the House-passed repeal bill to the Senate calendar." Right on! And this article names names, so hopefully the holdouts will feel the pressure – the ‘usual suspects’: Alexander, Brown, Lugar, Murkowski. Sessions name is also listed among those who haven’t signed on...hopefully that one will change soon.
Meanwhile, the damnable indictments against Obamacare keep stacking up: "The government’s chief actuary for Medicare spending on Wednesday said he had more confidence that Republican Paul Ryan’s plan to reform entitlements would drive down health-care costs than President Obama’s recently passed overhaul."
