Obama Embraces Cruz?

From the New York Post:

Before the government shut down, the Texas senator and his Republican allies in the House were denounced as extremists for wanting ObamaCare repealed in exchange for keeping the government going. 

Yet now it’s the president and his Democratic allies who want to delay, indefinitely, key parts of this law. If the Democrats get their way, we have to wonder: What’s the difference between repealing the law and not implementing it? 

In July, the administration put off the employer mandate for a year. A few weeks ago, the president said insurance companies could hold off canceling their old policies. And now he’s pushed back next year’s enrollment period so that it will run from November 15, 2014, to January 15, 2015. 

Not only does this extend the time on the back end, it conveniently moves the start date until after the mid-term elections. These are the latest of various deadline extenders and policy waivers on the part of Team Obama. 

And we can expect even more postponements, given the administration’s estimate that 78 million more Americans could lose their existing, employer-based health coverage because of ObamaCare. 

At least with regard to the law taking force, these White House moves now leave the president in largely the same place as Sen. Cruz. 

The big difference seems to be that while Cruz wants to get rid of ObamaCare altogether and all at once, the president seems to want piecemeal measures to delay it from taking effect.

Thing is, implementing the law in a piecemeal fashion does not do away with it's destructive elements.

Obamacare will still reap as much destruction as ever. But, it will reveal itself like a time-released multi-bomb, instead of one whole bomb all at once.

Or another way to put it is this:

Obama wants to poison America in bite-sized pieces, instead of making us eat the whole shit sandwich in one sitting.

What's the fucking difference?

The difference is, maybe he can continue inflicting damage a little bit longer if his Senators and Congressmen get elected again in 2014.

That would give him a real power to inflict more damage, throughout 2016, and into early 2017.
