奥恩斯坦说，共和党已经定出他们的议程，即阻碍或废除奥巴马总统的政策，并且阻止他在2012年的总统选举中连任。
"(1)________________________. It includes serious efforts week after week to demolish or roll back the health care bill," added Ornstein. "It includes investigations, very large numbers of them. The new incoming chairman that does most of the oversight and investigations says that he wants his seven subcommittees each to hold two hearings a week, which could amount to several-hundred hearings, of waste, fraud and abuse, scandal and the like."
Republican leaders in the House say they will vote to repeal health-care reform before President Obama holds his annual State of the Union address later this month.
众议院的共和党领袖说，他们将在奥巴马在本月晚些时候发布年度国情咨文之前，投票废除健保改革议案。
Efforts to repeal the reform are likely to fail because the Democrats still hold the Senate majority and Republicans would need two-thirds of all senators to overcome a presidential veto.(2)___________________________.共和党试图废除健保议案的努力很可能失败，原因是民主党仍然控制着参议院多数，而共和党需要三分之二的参议院多数来推翻总统否决。但是共和党可能能够阻止为施行该议案拨款。
