Paul Ryan to deliver State of the Union response
Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan will deliver the Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address next week, congressional GOP leaders announced Friday.
Ryan, who turns 40 next week, is the chairman of the House Budget Committee and is considered a GOP rising star. He is slated to deliver the response from the House Budget Committee hearing room, a symbolic move that Republican leaders say underscores their party's commitment to fiscal responsibility in the new Congress.
In a statement, Ryan said that delivering the GOP response is a "unique opportunity" and pledged to "work with the new House Majority to cut spending, reform government, and restore the foundations for growth and job creation."

Palin Would Wipe The Floor With Obama
◼ We Just Witnessed The Media's Test Run To Re-Elect Barack Obama - Legal Insurrection's post was read on-air today by Rush Limbaugh.
◼ “We Just Witnessed the Media’s Test Run to Re-Elect Barack Obama” — William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection - Hillbuzz also picked it up and ran with it.
The gist of it - Palin Would Wipe The Floor With Obama.
Rush: The Left is terrified of [Sarah Palin]. The Left knows that she would wipe the floor with Obama. Our intelligentsia on the Right-Wing know that she would wipe the floor with Obama. That’s what all of this means.
The point of this is that if Republicans are going to sit by and watch Palin savaged, they’d better be prepared to sit by and watch the next one get savaged; and the next one because that’s what’s coming.

BREAKING NEWS:
HOUSE VOTES TO REPEAL OBAMACARE
◼ House GOP Repeals 'ObamaCare' in Symbolic Move DEVELOPING
WASHINGTON -- The newly muscular House Republicans voted Wednesday to overturn President Obama's health care overhaul -- a move that is largely symbolic because the Democratic-controlled Senate is poised to ignore it while Obama is certain to veto it should it somehow pass through Congress.
The House passed the bill 245-189 with three Democrats -- Reps. Mike Ross, Dan Boren and Mike McIntyre --joining the Republican effort.

Repeal
◼ House Republicans Move to Dismantle Obama's HealthCare Law... bloomberg
With a symbolic vote to repeal President Barack Obama’s health-care overhaul, the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives is starting a two- year campaign to undermine the law through piecemeal dismantling tactics and efforts to weaken public support.◼ Two-thirds of doctors fear worse care for patients... cnbc
The House plans today to pass legislation that would roll back the law, fulfilling Republican campaign promises. Democrats, who control the Senate, say that they will block a repeal effort in that chamber -- and that, in any case, Obama will veto it.
Once the vote is complete, Republicans will attack the law by trying to remove funding from key provisions and force Democrats to defend the law ahead of the 2012 presidential election. They will also move to craft an alternative health- care plan.

How to Repeal Obamacare in the Senate
◼ How to Repeal Obamacare in the Senate heritage.org
This week the House will pass a bill to repeal Obamacare. Congressional experts will argue that the Senate won’t pass a full repeal....
Once a bill is held at the desk, they can gather 16 signatures, then wait until the appropriate time to file cloture. They could do so next week or next year. If the courts continue to declare parts of Obamacare unconstitutional and the American people continue to despise this law, then the probability of full repeal may go up over time. At a minimum, Senators have the power to force a vote on full repeal of Obamacare if they have the will to do so.
If the supporters of a full repeal of Obamacare don’t use the Senate’s rules to force a vote on full repeal, don’t take them seriously when they say they are really want to repeal President Obama’s de facto government takeover of health care. h/t: Terry and Colleen
