ObamaCare Lawbreaker in Chief: Barack Obama
By Selwyn Duke

"The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly," said Abraham Lincoln. It's ironic that Barack Obama has claimed to pattern himself after Lincoln, because his modus operandi is just the opposite: perpetuate a bad law by enforcing it loosely.

Or in a targeted fashion that suits political necessities.

With millions losing health coverage that Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the Gang promised they could keep, and with the ObamaCare rollout a washout, the president's answer to his bad law is quintessential Obama. Don't end it. Don't mend it.

Violate it.

His latest expedient: Give insurance companies the option to let people keep health plans that the government claims are "substandard" for another year. Note that Obama doesn't want to do this legislatively. Rather, in a move that even screaming socialist Howard Dean suggests is unconstitutional, the king will grant you a stay of execution. Of course, this only prolongs the inevitable.

But Obama has done this before. He proceeds with the confidence of a man who says, "My law is so darn good that it doesn't work when actually enforced." Thus did the president early on offer more than 1000 ObamaCare waivers to various entities.

Have clout? Waiver.

Can grease palms? Waiver.

Little guy with bupkis? Don't ever waver.

That is, until throwing the commoners a few crumbs accomplishes something. What would that be? Consider that a one-year waiver would delay the inevitable until just after the 2014 mid-term elections.

Coincidence?
