Krauthammer on Obamacare employer mandate delay: “This is stuff you do in a banana republic”
The Right Scoop ^ | 02/10/2014 | By The Right Scoop Staff

Posted on 02/11/2014 9:17:59 AM PST by AngelesCrestHighway

Krauthammer says that delaying the employer mandate simply to ease political pain before an election is the kind of stuff they do in banana republics:

But generally speaking you get past the next election by changing your policies, by announcing new initiatives, but not by wantonly changing the law lawlessly. This is stuff you do in a banana republic. It’s as if the law is simply a blackboard on which Obama writes any number he wants, any delay he wants, and any provision.

It’s now reached a point where it is so endemic that nobody even notices or complains. I think if the complaints had started with the first arbitrary changes — and these are are not adjustments or transitions. These are political decisions to minimize the impact leading up to an election. And it’s changing the law in a way that you are not allowed to do.

Wow Charles, you’re just now picking up on this?

Sorry, but this establishment type does not impress me.

America IS a banana republic, ... or less.

The undocumented Tyrant dictates what he wants,
which applies to whom he wants, and he with treason
arms al Qaeda with MANPADs to free the Blind Sheik.

The Tea Party is a few steps ahead of them all. Obama hates and fears the Tea Party. It’s the only thing standing up to his insanity!

Charles will be accused of agreeing with the Russian tweet that surfaced the other day.

There were plenty of people back in 2008 who warned about Obama.

Unfortunately, there were also plenty of people who not only ignored these warnings, but went out of their way to kiss Obama’s ass and attack anyone who was critical of the Mocha Messiah.

Krauthammer falls into the second group.

Sorry Mr. K, I respected you for a long time, but you and others (Peggy Noonan) had a chance to speak up and didn’t. You failed when it counted.

I don’t know about you, but IMHO, Bananas and TEA do not go well on a worked-starved stomach.

And one elderly, temperamental crank from Arizona who insisted we had nothing to fear from his ascending to the Presidency. What was his name again???
