Obama Repeals Obamacare, somewhat.

It looks like no penalties (tax) for not singing up by the Dec 2013 deadline.   That is good news.  At least temporally.

Well he is reportedly a Constitutional scholar, so I'm sure whatever he decides to do is totally legit and legal.

Obama is the Great Solon of our times.

Makes his own law.   Doesn't need Congress.

Congress could be eliminated.   Save money.

Point of interest....there is nothing in the ACA that provides for "enforcement" in collecting penalties .... a slight oversight I'd say.....

Don't forget, it's not a penalty, it's a tax... said no sane person ever...
"Well-regulated" meant well equipped, trained and disciplined... not controlled with an iron fist.

To say I am disappointed in the direction our country has headed down over the many recent elections, would be an understatement.

What if Obama is the good ole days?

It just gets worse and worse.

I have the feeling the whole program is a paper sack with a soggy bottom...it's gonna let go and all the stuff we "had to pass the bill to find out what's in it" will hit the ground in a broken mess :-[

I wouldn't call it good news.  Obama is pushing all the pain of Obamacare off until after the 2014 elections.  People have VERY short memories, all they'll remember is that the Democrats gave them free healthcare.

Obamacare is nothing more than the next step in wealth redistribution.  I think most people probably knew from the very beginning that everything else about it was all a big lie.  It just didn't matter, because a majority was convinced that government was going to take money away from someone else and give it to them.  Now the truth is slowly coming out that many who thought they were going to be getting money are having money taken from them instead.  So will this make a majority of Americans willing to elect a patriot instead of a socialist?  Maybe.  Considering though that the biggest costs of socialism are being passed on to our descendants, to maintain the illusion of us all getting free stuff, I doubt it.  The truth never looks good compared to a lie.  Even the Republicans know this, and so are likely to nominate someone who isn't much different from Hillary.  So don't hold your breath waiting for our direction to change.
The liberal cult seeks destruction of the American Republic like water seeks low ground.
