But he controls the Administrative branch of government and can get away with some laxity in application and enforcement.
Thanks an irresponsible Congress over the last 50 years for that precedent.
President Obama!

C'mon. Think like a politician in an election year. Obamacare has years to right itself now that it's up and hobbling. In 10 years, what are people going to do? Vote to get rid of their healthcare or the new friend-99 fighter drone equipped with black hole technology?

One does not have to wait 10 years.
Obviously with the wimpy Republicans in Congress, Obamacare is a done deal and it has already been assimilated into the entitlements owed US citizens.

Well, ACTUAL unemployment is about 13%.........among blacks it's more like 17%.
Ah. If those are the numbers you want to go with, the corresponding rates were 20-25% in 2008.

No sir, it is oranges to oranges.
But quality, full health care, great wages, jobs are very rare now.

Via Campus Reform:
Officials at one one of the nation’s oldest and most elite historically black colleges are citing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as the reason they have cancelled a school-wide affordable health care plan they had offered students.
The official website for Bowie State, a Maryland public school less than an hour’s drive from Washington D.C., explains that Obamacare’s new regulations would force the cost of the insurance to rise from $50 to $900 a semester.
“Bowie State University has suspended offering health insurance for domestic students for the 2013-2014 academic year,” states the school’s official website. “Due to new requirements of the Affordable Care Act which will go into effect on January 1, 2014, the cost of insurance for domestic students will increase to approximately $1800 per year.”
That works out to approximately $900 per semester. The student health insurance plan had cost students $50 per semester for the 2012-13 school year, according to a cached page of the university’s description of the plan. The original link to the description has been deleted.

Sounds like you want it both ways-- either things have improved the past five years -- or they have gotten worse!
Island. You are the one tying food stamps to unemployment, not me. The steady erosion of middle class jobs began in the 80s around here. We have the John Deere corporate HQ. But 30 years ago we had huge factories for Case, IH, not to mention hundred of small businesses that literally had their lifeline attached to those companies. Now all that's left is John Deere. Those jobs are gone and they aren't coming back. It took folks around here 20 years to come to terms.with that fact.
