foreclosure and corruption in afghanistan and wikileaks and food and drug safety. an ambitious list and he went even started yet. that is it a full dance card. i say. and senior political analyst brit hume is here to talk about a another major threat to the president s jandia has nothing to do with congress. washington is consumed with the arrival of the new congress and speculation of the republican house and democrat senate and the president will do. two biggest issues is the health care reform and effort tots stop it and bulging deficit and the stopping of that. but obama care will certainly survive republican efforts to undo it since mr. obama would veto repeal and his party has the vote to sustain that. court challenges to obama is a different matter. one federal judge ruled a man date on all citizens
passes the house in big numbers? it would create a problem for conservative democrats that propose health care. but the bigger problem for the republicans who have to say it is their business. they are all about repealing health care and there are so many other issues on the table and republican votes with the tea party momentum could make a difference beginning with jobs in america today . so i think democrats are not only going to say you are involve would in a totally active of political posturing. here is the argument for health care reform . we are on the offensive now. republicans had us on the defensive and now democrats say we are delighted to make the case for the american people for individual aspictures of the health care plan and get in that fight more aggressively than president obama was. there are many democrats concede there are big problems

vote on this. i wonder what they are afraid of. why is it they feel the need to come out in advance and say they will not do people in washington are underestimating the significance of this kind of a vote. 242 new house republicans and 25 of the 39 house democrats who voted against obama care still in the house. so you are going to have upwars of 260 or 265 or 267 people voting against 60 percent. more than 60 percent potentially of the house of representatives voting against this at this time. it gives tremendous momentum of the political case against health care reform. the vote will be symbolic because it meets a brick wall. but demdeps that are up for reelection in 20 12 in red states. clar mchassle in missouri. does it pose a problem with those in the senate if it
