This is very strange. Delaying the implementation of the "Affordable Care Act" has "saved business" and caused anticipated hospital profits to decline.

I thought it was supposed to SAVE people and business money and cut profts at hospitals.

I am guessing it is only a coincidence that it has been delayed until after the 2014 mid-term elections.

There are no coincidences in politics.

So you are saying that Obama is reneging?

It's nice that they've given businesses more time to react to the new laws, but it doesn't make sense that, while businesses are not required to provide insurance until 2015 now, individuals are still required to have insurance come 2014.

Businesses donate money that makes a difference in a political campaign. Ordinary people just donate money.

What I do not understand is how, exactly, Obama waves his hand and delays part of a law? it IS a LAW. It is not an executive order. What other laws is he simply ignoring? Oh wait...the 1st amendement, the 4th amendment (he tried to ignore the 2nd amendment and got that stuffed down his throat)

Has anyone else figured out he cannot waive a LAW?

Republicans have tried to repeal it like 34,000 times in congress and now Obama just waves his hand and VOILA! this piece is gone!

If the law is no good (the law is no good) it should be repealed and replaced. One cannot make a LAW and then by executive fiat CHANGE the law. That is what "separation of powers" is designed to prevent.

Not quoting but if you don't get nuked for that there ain't no use in having nukes.

Almost as bad as your blatant use of the L word

No worries NB, this is a safe thread. It is a thread which exposes the truth of an Obama policy being wrong. It also shows that Obama caved to Walmart. There will be no phoney libruhls here posting. Feel free to speak the truth.
