Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Thursday asked President Obama to suspend implementation of Obamacare, a request that has roughly no chance of becoming a reality. He predicted Obama will ultimately have no choice but to repeal it.

“Well on Obamacare, I think he needs to walk away from that and basically suspend its implementation. It is going to be a disaster,” he said during an appearance on Fox News. “So I’m telling you right now there are people watching this program, maybe even people that supported ObamaCare, but when they get their premiums in January and they see how much that has increased, or when they get moved from full time to part time, they’re not going to be happy and the president is going to have some questions to answer.”

“Yeah, absolutely. I think it should be repealed,” the senator said. “I don’t think [President Obama]’s going to have a choice to be honest with you.”
