The GOP is meeting in back rooms to re-access it's approach to Obamacare.
Their most recent tactic is to push a bullet point that:
"Obamacare is a lead airplane... it can't fly".

There are 2 obvious reasons this analogy fails:

1) Mythbusters has shown that, like birds, there is a 3-5% gas-savings for a lead plane flying in V-formation:

The lead bird does gain something from the V
- it's the same principle as the spoiler on the back of a car.
2) Cement boats do float.

OK, groans from everyone...
