There were 2 (TWO) (T-W-O) Democrats who voted for this bill. That is NOT a strong bipartisan majority. That's almost all Republicans plus 2 Democrats who have been against Obamacare from the beginning (Rep McIntyre and Rep Matheson). That's not a strong bipartisan majority.

LOL! David, I caught that as well, but didn't comment. I think Boehner, McCarthy and Cantor said the same thing.
Maybe he was meaning that these two, being from the beginning, are important on this issue.
