This has been the plan for many months.
On July 2 Obama announced a year delay for business with 50 or more employees. Why?
As a contingency.
Because in March[1,2] he was briefed on a report warning of the potential for system failure that could make the health care exchanges inaccessible to consumers trying to buy insurance through them.
Most people have insurance through their employer.
By delaying the mandate for employers he minimized the number of persons effected by a non-functioning website.
His illegal delay decree ought to be declared by Congress as irrelevant, of no force, and DEMAND that the law be enforced. DO NOT GIVE OBAMA THE LUXURY OF TIME. TIME IS NOT OUR ALLY.
DO NOT CEDE TIME TO OBAMA.

Oh, time is a friend now. Because God is just a-layin’ the hammer of consequences down now.
And the longer the Rats take? The more hammered they get.
Let them choose whether to fix (abolish) it quick, or do it slow. And take accordingly less or more punishment.
Works for me!
Time for Chief Supreme, John Roberts, to make amends and declare the whole mess, tweaks and all, unconstitutional.
