Apparently his signature initiative was in danger of bankrupting too many businesses. So he's delayed the enforcement of various elements of his Affordable Care Act.
But, see, I employ a hundred people at my factory. And two years ago I perceived that I would have to make investments in my business systems and processes in order to comply with the provisions of what I, in my civics-class naivete, thought was a "law."
So I invested that money in the expectation of having to comply with those provisions upon their advertised date of implementation. I even figured that my competitors would not prove so farsighted as I and would not similarly prepare themselves. I judged my investment to be wise, as I would have a competitive advantage over other factory owners.
Silly me. My investment turns out to be misspent because it seems that I will not have a competitive advantage over other factories not so prepared as mine is, because the dates of implementation have been changed outside of law.
That has thrown a monkey wrench into my business calculus. I no longer can make business decisions based on the legal environment because there is no legal environment.
I guess there's now two different classes of legislation. There's, you know, a law law, and there's also a mere law.
I made my business decision based only upon the latter. My bad.
Third world countries are destitute for a reason. It's because no one wants to invest where the caprice of the local dictator can't be divined. "What's the law gonna be today?"
The chief executive over at United States does not get to write law. The president's job isn't to think. It's to execute instructions delivered to him by the professional thinkers at that jurisdiction, the legislature.
The man is completely ignoring the separation of powers. He has come to believe that the purpose of the jurisdiction itself is to provide him the necessary machinery to cement into history his signature achievement.
It's not. If the legislation blows --and it does-- then let the legislation's failings be known as soon as possible so that we can get rid of it.
That man is, once again, defacing the legal system and displaying a perfect contempt for the system of government centuries ago agonized over by his intellectual betters.
Barack Obama is converting this nation into a third-world, banana-republic dictatorship and he needs to be removed from office immediately for his contempt for the law.
