Despite retreat, no pause in money flow for Obamacare

As a not-so-serious part of their ongoing effort to get rid of Obamacare, House Republicans in May started a Twitter fight they called #ObamacareInThreeWords. Rep. Darrell Issa got things started with a tweet that said simply, “Serious Sticker Shock.” Rep. Michele Bachmann added “IRS In Charge.” Sen. Richard Burr tossed in “Huge Train Wreck.”

Democrats hit back, weakly, with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s “Good for America” and Rep. Gregory Meeks’ “What America Needs.” And then the White House stepped in with a killer line: “It’s. The. Law.” The tweet was accompanied by a photo of the president’s signature on the Affordable Care Act, dated March 23, 2010.
