In a move I'm sure none of us ever saw coming, Bloomberg News is reporting that the Obama administration will push back next year's federal enrollment period until after the November elections.
In effect, to avoid Obamacare emerging as an election issue for fellow Democrats next year, the president wants to simply brush it under the rug — or ballot box — so voters won't be bothered by such pesky bad news.
What was once this president's New Deal has collapsed into his Deal Breaker. His legacy is now his scandal, turning Omaha Beach into Waterloo. Barring some miraculous Mideast peace deal, this law — and all its warts — will be what history remembers him for. He might as well embrace it now.
