Committee Leaders Urge President Obama to Provide Details on Employer Mandate Delay

“The administration made this decision behind closed doors,” said Chairmen Camp, Kline, Ryan, and Upton. “The public deserves to know what prompted this decision—and why the administration won’t give American families the same relief it gave to American businesses. We hope President Obama will be forthright with Congress and the American people.”

That’ll show him...
dorks.
They ahould be SHOUTING” FROM THE ROOFTOPS about this cluster-f%@& and his arbitrary decision to just “wait a year” to implement it.
This is going to cost businesses $MILLIONS of dollars and he just says “eh, we can wait one year” ???
WHY was this decision made? WHAT FACTORS did they take into consideration- or was in ONLY “this will cost us the 2014 election”???
At his inauguration, Obama recited the Oath of office: “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
The Constitution grants the Legislative Branch, i.e., Congress, the right to pass laws. The Affordable Care Act is one such law.
Once it became law, Obama had the Constitutional imperative to insure that the law was carried out. All of the law. Not just the parts that are politically expedient.
Suppose the Gang of Eight managed to convince Congress to pass a new immigration law that had two main parts. Part One would call for increased border security, including more patrols, fences, drones, etc. Part Two would describe a path to citizenship for those illegal immigrants already in the United States. Suppose further that a new, conservative president, perhaps Ted Cruz, decided to implement Part One while refusing to do the same for Part Two. Gee, I wonder how the mainstream media would feel about that.
House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX)
If Obozocare is so great, why delay it until after the election? You would think every RAT would be shouting it’s benefits from the rooftops.
I have been wondering hot the president can delay the enforcement of a law.

What a sneaky way to put Sharia in control of ObamaCARE.
This will definitely NOT end well.
Communist Tyrant B. Hussein Obama has no intention of allowing the US Congress to interfere with Obama’s selective implementation of the Anti-Trust violations of Obama’care.’
Obama will use HIS Bureaus, HIS Executive Orders, and HIS Military to “preserve, protect and defend” Obama’care’ in order to insure the complete financial destruction of The United States of America, by “Fundamentally changing the United States of America.”
If “corporations are people, too,” is this not a violation of the equal protection clause? Are some “people” more equal than others?
That is the point that Kevin Brady made just now in the hearing during his opening remarks.
What pathetic losers. The HOR 'pubs control the purse strings. Obama gave them an opening; they should just vote and defund Obamacare.
Obama has them all figured out. He knew damn well they wouldn't do anything.
Good. I’m on my not very smart phone and have no access. This is so easy; why are there not nothing but constitutional lawyers on that witness panel? 0 is violating the Constitution, and that is all that matters.
At about 5:40 on the video Brady mentions it is unfortunate that no one from treasury was there today.
Why Treasury? Are they going to argue the Constitutional invalidity of 0’s actions? BTW, I’ll have internet sometime after 8:00. a.m. PDT.
Stop it, you’re making me happy.
They invited Treasury (did not appear) because Treasury (IRS) is the arm used to enforce Obamacare.
House has a bill to remove IRS as enforcement agency. Saw a thread on it, but will have to look for it.
Ah, makes sense now.
So the hearing is over? Because the stream is starting from the beginning.
