Always classy, Obama himself has already tweeted, "Still a BFD."
...the Supreme Court declared the mandate a tax... Remember, he said that "no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase."
Instead, ObamaCare is the largest tax increase in the history of the nation...and it is a regressive tax. After all, the 1% of Americans he rails against religiously already have health insurance. Guess what: much of the burden of the cost of this legislation will be borne by families making less than $250,000...
In the coming months, many people will begin to realize how much the survival of ObamaCare will cost them in additional taxes and higher insurance premiums. All the Supreme Court has done, in upholding the president's destruction of medical care in America, is give another 100 million people a reason to despise Barack Obama and all he stands for. Obama may claim to care, but I suspect that the American electorate on November 6 will come out in force to show the president and the world how much they actually care for him.
Another point has gone unmentioned. After Ted Kennedy joined Mary Joe Kopechne in the afterlife, the ACA was passed with 51 votes in the Senate using reconciliation. Reconciliation is a process restricting use of the filibuster with respect to legislation related to budget matters. The mandate, now labeled a tax, is a revenue item that can be repealed with the same 51 votes. The filibuster-proof 60 votes needed for repeal before the decision are no longer required...

Michelle Bachmann was on with Mark Levin last night discussing actions that are being taken, including that vote and the "do not implement" plan by the Republican governor's association. Republicans now want this election to be a referendum on ObamaCare and its taxation.
....and HHS Sillybeus has no authority to waive taxes.
All of those Health Care waivers must now be void
Exactly, they can start as soon as they come back in session in July, no need to wait. This is the biggest opportunity we will ever have to force the Democrats to expose themselves.
Obama tweeted, “still a BFD”? I’m at a loss for words. How presidential of him. Unless it means “Butt F’ing Democrat”.
You know .... Obama & the Dems remind me of ‘Major Kong riding the bomb’ from the Dr. Strangelove movie. They are yippeeing and yahooing over their ‘big win’ on Thursday and having a good time riding the Obamatax bomb. If they have a clue, they are ignoring the fact that in November, they are going to be part of the mushroom cloud on the horizon. ;-)

And not in a good way. :’)
Of course, we’ve all been dead wrong about Zero, Zerocare, and most other decisions and edicts that he’s made while ruling by decree, and we already know there’s false flag ops and partisan media shills to undermine Zero’s opponents, so...
Yeah, that’ll stop Obama. ;’)
He was trying to spell the acronym for “foreign born dumbass”.
