Do my eyes deceive me? Obama delays Individual Mandate deadline? For Real?

Say it ain't so Barry! Tell me today's Star-Ledger is lying! Their headline — Deadline Extended for Health Coverage, potential buyers get 6 more weeks — can't possibly be true. Can it?

It's not on their website, so maybe it's a misprint.

I mean, just 3 weeks ago the president insisted he would never delay Obamacare. N-E-V-E-R. Never.

Surely it takes longer than 3 weeks for "never" to arrive?

Er, then I guess NBC is lying too.

Amid mounting criticism, the White House said Wednesday that it plans to soften the deadline for when Americans are required to purchase health insurance. The date by when Americans would be penalized for not having signed up for health insurance could be "slid" back by as much as six weeks, administration officials told NBC News.

But it was not immediately clear Wednesday whether the adjustment to a cornerstone of the Affordable Care Act would need to be approved by Congress or could be done by the Department of Health and Human Services administratively.

As the law stands now, individuals are expected to begin the application process via HealthCare.gov by Feb. 15 to avoid a financial penalty when the deadline hits on March 31, since it generally takes about six weeks for the insurance to kick in.

But under the prospective change, individuals will only be expected to have started enrollment by March 31 to avoid incurring a penalty.

So, they had to pass the law to find out what's in it. And when find out they don't like what's in it, they just arbitrarily decide to change it, without any authorization from Congress. For something like the 97th time, I might add.

Does anyone here remember Checks And Balances? It used to be in all the Civics textbooks. I guess Dear Leader decided it was too anachronistic a notion, and nullified it by Executive Order. Dictators do that kind of thing all the time.
