Meet one of the young Republican "guns" behind the strategy used by Mike Lee and Ted Cruz.

 Michael Needham,  31 year old young gun and president of Heritage Action,  out of the largest conservative “think tank” in America,  believes the stalemate currently in the news,  may drag on well beyond Oct. 17, the day the U.S. Treasury may reach the federal borrowing limit. He has little problem with the latest strategy to pass a temporary debt-ceiling extension, viewing the debt-default debate as a distraction from the battle over the future of ObamaCare funding.

While John McCain wants to lay down and play dead,  in the face of ObamaCare,  Ted Cruz and others have a strong ally in the Heritage Foundation and its action committee.

President Obama is the one in an "untenable position," according to Needham,  and this [Midknight Review] editor agrees.  

Needham claims that  it is "totally unfair to say,

'We're going to give a delay of the employer mandate, but we will not give that same delay to the individual mandate, and we're going to exempt members of Congress.'

A united conservative party making the case, day in and day out, about the fundamental unfairness of the way the president is implementing this law is a winning argument," he says. And it "inspires people and gets them on our side."

"We just spent the last three months talking about nothing else but ObamaCare. It has been on the front page of every newspaper. The polls show ObamaCare's more unpopular than ever. People are starting to wake up that it isn't going to work at all," he says. "Even Jon Stewart of 'The Daily Show' is making fun of the law."
