The President's unilateral action to effectively change the plain language of PPACA by failing to enforce the timetables that were in the text of the law was probably the most clear example they could find.

What's also funny is that within days of the President delaying the employer mandate, the House voted to do exactly the same thing. I suppose Boehner's pissed that the President actually succeeded in doing something that the GOP wanted.

What if Boehner wins the lawsuit? Will the delay that he championed and supported through the House vote be rescinded? That'll make him real popular with the business community.
As rudderless as Obama looks, the House makes him look like the paragon of virtue and efficiency.
