No we're not left with that question at all. The Dem's still control the Senate and have veto power in the White House. It's not being repealed.

That's a pretty bold statement. Just two years we were overwhelmed with predictions of doom for the GOP, and now look where we are.
Honestly, I suspect that a very real, determined, and intensive effort to repeal Obamacare will begin as soon as the new Congress is sworn in. Furthermore, I believe that you are overestimating the meaning behind the fact that the Dems maintained control of Congress during this election - far more Democrat Senators are up for reelection in 2012 than this time around, many of which come from moderate to conservative districts which went Democrat in '06 due to dissatisfaction with Bush and the GOP that was heavily entrenched at the time. I will not be in the least bit suprised if they begin to move away from their vote on healthcare in the interest of self-preservation.
If that happens, I don't see a presidential veto - if the Democrats and Republicans both come out against Obamacare, Obama would be sealing his fate by going against both his party and the opposition (enemy).
Bottom line is that it would be insane to think that the GOP won't be intense in going after this issue, as it is a proven winner for them.
