An Obamacare Surrender

Washington is riven by conflict and deep-seated division. It is rare indeed when both sides can agree on anything consequential. Therefore it is incredibly heartening that there is now bipartisan agreement that the implementation of Obamacare is a mess.

Republicans have long maintained this, but now the Obama administration has lent its implicit assent with its astonishing decision to delay by a year the law’s employer mandate. This is what the administration calls, via a blog post by the Treasury Department’s assistant secretary for tax policy that announced the decision, “Continuing to Implement the ACA in a Careful, Thoughtful Manner.”

I still can't see how they can delay anything in this law because it was held up in the Supreme Court decision. The implementation dates are written into it.

Of course he didn't declare that his heath care program was bogus until he won a second term in office.

@ 12:15 Look at the 2006 Border Fence Law that was signed into law...thats finished, isn't it? No--wait! They haven't bothered to comply with that law, so why comply with laws now passed? (yes-I know Bush signed that into law, but Obama also voted in favor of it)Obama is simply picking and choosing what he wants...and getting away with it.
