HHS [illegally] extends more Obamacare deadlines [without approval from Congress]
Washington Examiner ^ | December 12, 2013

The Obama administration on Thursday announced it would take steps to push back an already-delayed deadline to help those struggling to obtain health coverage on Jan. 1 -- and extend a federal insurance program for those with preexisting conditions.

Amid lingering questions about the health law's insurance exchanges, the tweaks were yet another attempt by the administration to quell concerns that the botched rollout of healthcare.gov would keep consumers from receiving coverage.

The administration had already delayed the deadline to receive insurance coverage on Jan. 1, moving the cut-off date from Dec. 15 to Dec. 23. On Thursday, they made yet another change.

When I was in elementary school, I knew that the President did not have the legal authority to change the law without those changes first being approved by Congeess. Obama has a Harvard law degree, which, apparently, proves that a Harvard law degree is worthless.

President Urkel built a time machine and changed the law so it’s legal.

Heck they can keep pushing back the deadline. The problem they’ll have is that they won’t have any money to implement it. And the more they push back one deadline the more it’s going to impact the number of deadlines waiting in the cue.

The Democrats hurriedly passed the complex, incomplete, and incomprehensible, unworkable law without first reading, discussing, and making needed adjustments. Now the Democrats in the Executive Department are making the "adjustments" in order to implement the immature, developing law.

Democrats created the mess, and are attempting to straighten it out. The problem is that many taxpayers did not cooperate is this tyranny.

The Democrats justification is that the Supreme Court created a precedent for "working" changes by modifying the law themselves. We no longer have a viable Constitution.

It is our fault! The real problem lies with the uncooperative, responsible, hard working citizens of the USA, who believe in common sense, fiscal responsibility, and God, in contrast to the power hungry Democrats with disordered minds, supported by low information voters. Like other communists they want to force their version of Utopia on the rest of us.

Obama will just divert money from somewhere else.

As a lifelong recipient of Affirmative Action policies, Obama doesn't see it that way. What you see as lawlessness, he sees as his right to have accommodations made for him as a result of hundreds of years of oppression. There are millions who share his view.

It’s not just affirmative action policies. It is Marxist policies. any clear thinking person can see that Obama does not just have Marxist tendencies, who IS a Marxist, and “the useful idiots” propel him forward.If we do not take control of the House and senate in 2014 it is over. Even if we do it will be a very difficult fight, the Marxist’s, in the USA, are on the verge of achieving the victory that they have been pursuing for at least 70 years and they will not go down easy!

The problem is, Obama is a useful idiot. Far too many people give him credit for being smart enough to pull this off. While I agree he shares the Marxist ideology, he’s also a lazy opportunist whose only real accomplishment is having mastered the arts of bullshit and dirty politics. He hung with the radicals in school and was fed more of the same drivel he’d received growing up but in my mind, his main goal is self enrichment. He’s a puppet. While I agree that conservatives need to take over the Senate and the House (which the RINO wing currently presides over), the root of the problem is Obama’s handlers. Washington needs to be swept clean of the REAL power brokers.
