I don't see defunding Obamacare with Harry Reid in the Senate and President Obama in the White House is an achievable goal. I think a far more achievable goal just might be a one year delay. I mean, let's face it, President Obama has implicitly acknowledged the fact that Obamacare is a train wreck and he has delayed a number of provisions by executive order. And quite honestly, Pedro, I'm not sure he has the legal authority to do those things. So I think we could probably work with our Democratic colleagues, potentially get them to delay it a year.
