Obamacare is a ticking time bomb for Democrats in the 2014 elections. Nobody knows this better than President Barack Obama, which is why over the Fourth of July holiday weekend he unilaterally decided to delay its controversial employer mandate provision until after the midterm elections.

No wonder: The $2,000 per-worker fine is disastrously unpopular. Already, employers are laying off workers and dramatically cutting others’ hours in an effort to skirt the new penalty. The fact that this perfectly predictable development surprises many in Washington only underscores that they didn’t really read this 2,300-page monstrosity before they passed it.

Desperate for any appearance of victory, Republican leaders have decided to match the president’s delay with one of their own: proposing legislation to delay for a year the mandate for individuals. Perhaps useful, perhaps not. Well-meaning people can differ about legislative strategy.

What Obamacare really means, and why is must be stopped.. In plain English!

Congress MUST ACT on 0bama changing Federal Law without their consent. They MUST ACT on this. Enough already. He's done this before, with his overturning of immigration law to set the stage for immigration reform (what a pathetic trick).

The GOP will regret allowing 0bama AGAIN to do this unchallenged when 2014 comes. We've not seen the end of him doing this, either. More to come.

"By enforcing only the provisions he finds politically expedient or tolerable...He essentially granted himself the line item veto."

line item veto of his own signature legislation.

...if Republicans don’t have a larger plan to actually oppose [sic] this unprecedented power grab in a way the American people will understand, then they will have given up the ghost on actually turning back the slew of new job-killing bureaucracies.

Most unfortunately, the Republicans don't have a plan, and even if one were to show up, they'd subvert and destroy it.
