Thought experiment: What would the media and the Left (but I repeat. . .) be saying if President Romney was rewriting Obamacare on his own executive authority, delaying the business mandate, etc.? My guess is they’d be screaming for Romney’s impeachment.
Turns out National Review‘s Charles Cooke was way ahead of me—well, at least a day ahead of me—with this same inquiry. Only he fleshes it out in more detail:
Washington D. C. — In a move certain to please his conservative supporters and infuriate his critics, President Romney announced this afternoon that his administration would make yet another change to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. In a terse release, posted without fanfare to the Department of Health and Human Services website, officials revealed that the law’s employer mandate would be suspended until 2016 for all businesses that employ between 50 and 99 people.
The move comes hot on the heels of news that the agency would not be enforcing the provisions in the law that require Americans to buy approved health insurance until after the next election. Now, as then, a simple explanation was forthcoming. “The president won,” a White House aide told National Review Online. “His disdain for the law was ratified by the people. Now he’s going to fundamentally transform it.” . . .
There’s more, including pitch perfect reactions from Harry Reid, Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz, and MSNBC (‘At the time of writing, MSNBC was in the 67th day of a special series, “Is Mitt Romney the Most Monarchical President in American History?”’).
So why isn’t the House Judiciary Committee holding hearings about Obama’s abuse of executive power, and hinting at the I-word?
The last sentence is the $60,000.00 question. For some reason, no one with any power knows what to do about it. Wimps, all of them.
Mitt woudnt have made it past the second year and certainly not elected a second time if he had the same record.
They don’t even have the stones to get rid of Boehner, much less Obama.
Let me start off by saying that I am a WHITE HETEROSEXUAL MALE. I will NOT tolerate any questions or divergent opinions from HETERO-PHOBES or RACISTS.
Mitt Romney should not be VICTIMIZED for being WHITE, STRAIGHT or BLAND. Neither shall President Obama.
That said, IF “President Romney” did the EXACT same things that President Obama has done, I would be leading the charge to (1) REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE, ASAP and (2) be leading the charge to place him on trial for TREASON.
If anybody has a problem with that, I really don’t give a sh*t.
That would be the $64,000.00 question.
Then again, I tend to pick nits. :-)
Good one!
“Mitt woudnt have made it past the second year and certainly not elected a second time if he had the same record.”

True but it is also true that had Obama been the same in all respects as he is but had LOOKED like Mitt Romney we would never have heard his name.
Should we also adjust for inflation?
If we did, it would now be the $515,890 dollar question.
;)
True.
Give me one good reason why we shouldn’t impeach President Romney. He has been a complete disaster. From the invasion of Saudi Arabia to the banning of gay marriage, President Romney has messed with my mind, dudes. He is like totally bogus.
“That would be the $64,000.00 question.”
I’m sorry to inform you that due to rate changes caused by the Affordable Care Act, your question rate will now rise to $150,000.00, and you won’t get as many words to ask your question with.
Romney may not be POTUS, but:
Romney IMPOSED gay marriage FIRST.
Romney IMPOSED RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE FIRST.
Romney HELPED Obama and Soros (his partner in JET BLUE)
TWICE to make Obama the undocumented POTUS.
I expect you would have a lot of Democrats going on TV and decrying Romney’s actions and how they’re considering filing articles of impeachment. Just like the Republicans are doing to Obama. But it’d be all talk. Just like now.
