speaker john boehner just a couple of weeks ago was advocating for more of a symbolic takeover of obama care that would basically allow the government spending to continue without this demand. and i would say that this is something that although it's surprising, it's not completely out of the blue, right? over the past two or three years, we've seen the republicans go further to the right because of the tea party wave and, obviously, they really hate obama care. they voted 40 times to delay it, to defund it, to get rid of it. and now leadership is listening to the rank and file. they have no other choice in the matter. they have to listen to them and they are passing this and it's basically up in the air what's going to happen at this point. we're moving closer to the shutdown. basically, republicans are banking on that constituents are going to give them some cover on this. they think constituents will forgive them, so long as they are getting rid of obama care, a means to an end. >> interesting, benjie, in today
