The bottom line for the Tea Party and their friends is:
-They have lost 2 presidential elections where this was a major topic.
-They lost their supreme court cases
and
-two thirds of the voting public either support the ACA, want the ACA to go further or want to see what happens over the first couple of years to see if they like it.
Obama is completely correct when he said they can not let the minority fringe of a party dictate the policy that goes against what the majotiy of citizens have already voted on. To do so sinks the presidential office and really democratic process from that point forward no matter what party holds that office.
