“the repubs just gave the democrats the greatest gift of the mid-term elections, a delay in Obamacare.”
You are delusional. Many people said the same thing after the supreme court upheld Obamacare before the last election.
If Obama wanted to delay the implementation he would just delay it. He doesn’t need an act of congress to do it.
He is planning to enroll millions of people on Obamacare next year with subsidized health insurance and they will all vote democrat.
Barn voters will not see any of the huge increases in payroll deductions for a year, that is what the delay gives them.
Actually, BC, Stockpirate is not that far off.
By kicking this can down the road a year, the GOPe has concealed from the unwashed masses the full impact of OdingaCare. When the next selection cycle rolls around, they will enter the polls oblivious to OdingaCare’s onerous effects, only thinking about the lure of “’Bawma gibsme free sh!t”.
Yes, Odinga could simply wave his hand and the seas will stop rising and this would be delayed. But by doing this, he has legitimized OdingaCare in the minds of the sheep, and at the same time, made the GOPe collaborators.
