Worrying about President Obama's lame duck status following major Democratic Party losses in the midterm election, on Sunday's NBC Nightly News, White House correspondent Kristen Welker proclaimed: "...Republicans prepare to take over both houses of Congress, vowing to undo Mr. Obama's most treasured accomplishment, the Affordable Care Act."

Welker made the declaration during a report on President Obama beginning his trip to Asia, something Welker framed as a chance for him to escape his political woes:  

President Obama left the White House overnight, heading to China, nearly 7,000 miles from Washington and last week's election day drubbing. On the agenda here, the economy, trade, and his place in history....As much as he might want this trip to be the foundation for a lasting legacy, the political trouble will still be there when he returns to Washington.
