there is a firm start date in the law, which can’t just be waived at the whim of the president?

Obama is not waiving the date he is waiving enforcement of the mandate. The mandate will still be law and enforceable, but King Obama says he will look the other way until after the election.

Well, then my question would be, can the president decide not to enforce the law? If he’s not called out on it, I fully understand that it won’t be enforced.

It seems odd to me also, as to why the president, even if he had authority to do so, would delay enforcement of his own signature legislation???

Sure, I'll take Obama's word for it. If I were an owner with conservative principles that are publicly acted upon, or that failed to donate to the Democrates, beware of isolated enforcement.
