The idea that Obamacare is here for good is a myth

1. The idea that Obamacare is the law of the land for good is a myth. Congress voted to repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood, and for the first time the President was put on defense, vetoing the legislation #OnHisDesk. This move is significant: Congress fulfilled our mandate to the American people and proved that Obamacare can be fully repealed with a Republican president in 2017.

2. The president wants to make this a year of distractions. The President tried to distract Congress and Americans from failures on the world stage and at home by trying to intimidate gun owners in America. That’s not going to stop Congress. In fact, Speaker Ryan promised 2016 is going to be a #YearofIdeas and we’re going on offense.

3. Conservatives are zeroing in on poverty. Speaker Ryan explained how Washington’s big government programs have failed to break the cycle of poverty and introduced conservative principles that will reshape the debate on poverty.

4. Deer season is over.

5. And almost over are President Obama’s State of the Union addresses. Join us next week for a celebration of Obama's #LastSOTU, which will be on Tuesday.
