| Description | President Obama will face down Republicans who voted to repeal his signature legislative achievement Tuesday during the State of the Union address.
The speech gives Obama his most visible chance to defend the healthcare reform law less than a week after the House repeal vote.
Facing a new Republican majority in the House, Obama faces a pivotal choice: He can criticize Republicans for repealing the law or extend an olive branch across the aisle.
Statements from Democratic lawmakers and administration officials, as well as the president himself, suggest Obama will try to strike a middle ground.
They have cast the White House as open to tweaking the law to improve it, but insistent that the nation cannot take a step into the past by getting rid of the controversial law. |
