GOP House Approves CR That Funds All Obamacare--Including Regulation Attacking Religious Freedom
The Republican leaders did not include language in their CR to reverse this regulation--even though Boehner himself had declared in a House floor speech on Feb. 8, 2012 that the regulation was a violation of the constitutional right to freedom of religion and that Congress would not let it stand.

There's a featured video at the bottom of the above link where a rep. reads Travis's last letter from the Alamo. Col. Travis was born in S.C. and moved at age 9 to Ala. and then on to Texas. Below is a paragraph or two from Wikipedia that resembles todays troubles and possibly Obama's response to it. Change Mexico to U.S., Santa Anna to Obama and you could be reading next years newest history book.

increasingly arbitrary and authoritarian rule led to a series of assemblies by Texans, with subsequent civil disturbances and outbreaks of violence precipitating the war.[5]
While the assemblies began debating how best to defend their Mexican rights,
a similar series of outbreaks of demonstrations, assemblies, and civil strife throughout Mexico led to a massive crackdown throughout the country by a new military junta led by Antonio López de Santa Anna.
Several Mexican states in the south declared independence in response. Santa Anna
immediately declared a state of martial law and ordered the execution of anyone involved in the uprising. In reply, a number of Texas militia units surrounded various arsenals and armories into which Mexican central authorities had confiscated the local militia's weapons.
