Obamacare's new slogan: Health care reform when we get around to it. And not a minute before, even if the law says we have to.
The Obama administration announced Tuesday that it is delaying a major provision in the health care overhaul, putting off until 2015 a requirement that many employers offer health insurance.
The announcement was made late Tuesday by the Treasury Department, at the beginning of the holiday week while Congress was on recess. It comes amid reports that the administration is running into roadblocks as it prepares to implement ObamaCare.
The change in the employer mandate is arguably the most significant concession the administration has made to date.
Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., a critic of the law, seized on the delay as a "clear admission" that the law is "unaffordable, unworkable and unpopular."
"It's also a cynical political ploy to delay the coming train wreck associated with ObamaCare until after the 2014 elections," he said.
Well, duh!
Of course they're delaying the pain until after the midterm election.
Or, since they're barreling along with the anti-Catholic part, it's more likely they just can't figure out how to get the employer mandate up and running. They've only had almost four years to get it right; you can't expect government bureaucrats to work that fast. Besides, the helping Democrats get re-elected feature is a nice bonus.
The law is unworkable, and they know it. The plan is to hide that fact for as long as they can. With a little finesse they might even keep the low information voters hoping for change up through 2016, and then the trainwreck is Hillary's problem.

Obamacare was so popular it had to be passed in the dead of night and delayed until after two elections.

Get I get another "Well, duh!"?
Obamacare: When you absolutely, positively have to have health care reform,
someday.
