Yeah, well, that's how it's supposed to work. Laws originate or are modified in Congress, not in the WH. I think its the constitutional lawyer in the WH that's confused.

As rudderless as Obama looks, the House makes him look like the paragon of virtue and efficiency.

Again, its not just about Obamacare. Its about a Prez with a phone and a pen that has decided that he wants to act unilaterally.

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.

I'm thinking the truth is to be found from points made in both of these posts.

Unfortunately, this is how an adult must act when dealing with pouting children. You don't negotiate, you send them to their room, then do what must be done.

I understand that, but now we have the GOP demanding that the President send all the kids immediately back to Central America even though it's against the law they passed and Dubya signed. So, on one hand they're suing Obama for doing what they wanted (delaying the Obamacare mandate) while demanding that he defy the child trafficking law because they're too chickenshit to take any vote involving immigration issues.
How else are you supposed to deal with a bunch of cowardly, whining idiots?

If it was a white guy with 6.1 percent unemployment (more like 5 percent because the baggers would have voted for some infrastructure if a white guy was there) we would be doing high-fives.
You cannot criticize someone for doing too much and then turn around and say he is doing too little...and that is a Catch-22.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and burns a cross on your lawn it is a duck.
There is an 800 pound gorilla in the room and hopefully it will backfire on those clowns.

Another in a long list of distracting the attention of simpleminded voters away from the real issues.
Remember some of these,
Birth Certificate
Reverend Wright
Acorn
Bill Ayers
ACA
Bailout
Benghazi
Impeachment
I'm sure to have missed a few seeing I really don't give a rats a$$ on their hate filled bile.
