Politico Calls It

If in June the Supremes kill the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, it will be a disaster for Obama. So sayeth the analysts at Politico in this article:
Tally it among the greatest losses -- in terms of opportunity cost -- since LBJ bled his presidency in Southeast Asia. Moreover, whatever tactical advantage a SCOTUS loss would confer on Obama and the Democrats would be more than offset by the jolt of enthusiasm it gives to the Republican base. It’s empowering. A win is a win. It makes Republicans feel better about themselves.
