Senate Democrats scamble to save thier jobs while Obama continues to ignore the will of the American People

President Obama took it upon himself to delay the Employer Mandate in Obamacare which requires employers with more than 50 full-time employees to provide health insurance for those employees.  However, he refused to implement the same one year delay on the individual mandate that requires those very same employees to have health insurance or face a fine from the I.R.S.

When House Republicans had enough common sense to push for a one year delay of the individual mandate, both Obama and the Senate Democrats where willing to close down the government and threaten a US default in their absolute refusal to allow such a delay even as the national exchange website for Obamacare was rolled out and was clearly a complete disaster.

With mounting anger and opposition against Obamacare boiling up all across the nation, these same Senate Democrats are starting to change their tune about delays for the legislation.  Could that be because they are up for re-election next year?

Several Democratic senators are calling on the Obama administration to delay enforcement of the health care law’s individual mandate, joining their Republican colleagues in saying it would be unfair to penalize Americans for failing to buy insurance when the primary sign-up website doesn’t work.

If only someone had suggested this sooner...you know like maybe some of the House Republicans  ... oh wait...THEY DID!

These democrats are clearly hoping that by calling for a delay in Obamacare they will be able to hold onto their seats after next years election so that they will still be in place to stop any attempt to fully repeal this disastrous law.

Not surprisingly, the White House isn't budging yet on the proposed delay.  White House Deputy Press Secretary Ed Schultz tweeted:
"The individual mandate timing has not changed.  The deadline for signing up for insurance is March 31. It was true this am.  It is true tonight"
So even as Senate Democrats scramble to cover their political backsides, Obama continues with his "I don't care what America wants" attitude.
