Did Obama actually enforce the law? Or was it an election year scam to give politicians cover?

Doesn't matter. Schumer voted FOR it in 2015, and cries #FakeTears about it in 2017.

Schumers comments on this bill:

"IF YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD ME THIS YEAR THAT WE'D BE STANDING HERE CELEBRATING THE PASSAGE OF AN OMNIBUS BILL WITH NO POISON PILL RIDERS AT HIGHER LEVELS ABOVE SEQUESTER THAN EVEN THE PRESIDENT REQUESTED, I WOULDN'T HAVE BELIEVED IT. BUT HERE WE ARE. THIS BILL IS A GREAT VICTORY FOR THE PRINCIPLES DEMOCRATS STAND FOR."

(Caps were at the site I cribbed his comments from, sorry....)

I think I remember both R and D politicians posturing over this in the media when it happened. It was covered by the media.
