At least according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, President Obama is a tea party anarchist for denying the fact that Obamacare is the law of the land. Here is Reid in September of last year:
We’re not going to bow to tea party anarchists who deny the mere fact that Obamacare is the law. We will not bow to tea party anarchists who refuse to accept that the Supreme Court ruled that Obamacare is constitutional,” Reid said in a blistering opening speech. “The simple fact remains: Obamacare is the law of the land and will remain the law of the land as long as Barack Obama is president of the United States and as long as I’m Senate majority leader.
Now we have yet another in a long line of
unilateral changes made to Obamacare by the president himself:
ObamaCare's implementers continue to roam the battlefield and shoot their own wounded, and the latest casualty is the core of the Affordable Care Act—the individual mandate. To wit, last week the Administration quietly excused millions of people from the requirement to purchase
health insurance or else pay a tax penalty.
At least the president is becoming aware that all of this tea party anarchism of his is somewhat embarrassing. This latest change was hidden in a technical bulletin and received none of the notice that accompanied the other major changes.
