President Barack Obama fired a double-barreled volley at Republicans on Wednesday, saying that the GOP is 'hating' him by pursuing a federal lawsuit over changes to the Obamacare health insurance law. The lawsuit received a go-ahead hours later by a 225-201 vote, passing the House of Representatives along largely party lines with five Republicans voting 'no.' Every Democrat opposed the legislation authorizing the lawsuit. 'There’s a bunch of stuff that needs to get done,' Obama told a cheering, partisan audience in Kansas City, Missouri just hours earlier. 'Unfortunately, I think the main vote ... that they’ve scheduled for today is whether or not they decide to sue me for doing my job.'

Boehner wrote on Monday that 'there is a conflict between the executive branch and the legislative branch of our government. It is the judiciary branch’s role to help resolve it'
Obama, he said, 'changed the health care law without a vote of @placeholder' in 2013, 'effectively creating his own law by literally waiving the employer mandate and the penalties for failing to comply with it.'
