TeaParty Congressman Blames Park Ranger for Shutdown
The website delay is not a big deal at all. I've worked in major social media for the last five years and believe me, when you launch a new product that attracts 3-10 million users on its first day, there are going to be problems.
Also, I tested it out at launch and I had to wait about 30 minutes to be able to use the system. Then it worked fine for me.
You say you need the ACA coverage, and that's great. I'm quite happy about that. But remember, even if the .gov worked absolutely flawlessly, it doesn't matter because the policies are open until March 14th 2014, and don't even take effect for two more months.
You've got time. And so does the ACA and the rest of us.
I guess I must be out of the loop as far as how the Republicans see things. This is just me talking. I am bi-vocational. I work as a substance abuse and marital counselor and I also own my own business, These are just things I have thought through, not been told about.
I am wondering if there will be enough money to fund the ACA without the employer mandate.
I am wondering if there isn't going to be civil disobedience on a massive scale with our young people who don't yet have insurance but now must buy it.
I read the article from Forbes and also the one from Reuters on a Google search because I was having so much trouble trying to navigate the healthcare.gov website. After repeated unsuccessful attempts and some strange pages popping up I began to think it was more than just overloaded servers causing the problem.
Until you mentioned the Republicans wanting to delay the mandate for a political advantage in 2014 I hadn't really given it much thought. Honestly, I really don't care why the Republicans want to delay the mandate. You wrote that there is absolutely no reason that the current admin may want to delay. I thought of a few scenarios that might end up being good reasons to delay it.
And just an FYI, I need to sign up for this. So the delay is hurting me. I'm not for delaying it. But the delay for me isn't coming from the the Tea Party. It's coming from the freaking website.

Disagree:
One party - the Democrats - want to preserve the status quo, but tweak it just a little.
The other party - the Republicans - want to privatize all levels of government, and service the rentiers.
30 years of money moving into the hands of fewer and fewer people is not because of "both sides". It is because of the overwhelming force of one side, and the weak capitulation of the other.
I've worked as a professional counselor long enough to know that it always takes two to tango. Money changes everything on both sides. I would more likely agree with a statement that said, "both sides are evil, one is just more evil than the other." I won't go as far as to say that one side is evil and the other all lightness and puppy dog toes. From where I stand, both parties serve the status quo and that status quo hurts all of us.

The reasons you listed have nothing to do with how the administration sees things. Rather, how the republicans see things.
And you cannot honestly tell me the republicans have any other reason, other than putting this as an issue for 2014 mid-terms, to want to delay the mandate.
The Forbes article you posted is an opinion article from a right-wing thinktank hack. AEI wants nothing other than destruction of any social safety net this country has. You may as well link to a breitbart or Glenn Beck diatribe.
It's fine if you feel so bad about the veterans not getting to have their gathering. But what about all the head start kids who're locked out of school because of the bagger hostage-taking?
The Democrats have already given two enourmous gifts to republicans.
1- CR at sequestration levels
2- The Paul Ryan Budget
There is absolutely no way in hell that our economy needs to suffer more.
The baggers need to be destroyed. Period.
I can think of several scenarios why our President may decide to delay the individual mandate. One: The employer mandate won't be in effect this year. Some of those dollars will be lost. Two: The sign-ups from the youngest eligible group is suspect. While the program may have been successfully sold to them, the outcome is in doubt. If that group decides for a bit of civil disobedience - trouble. Three: There is this real possibility: http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottgottlieb/2013/10/04/president-obama-will-delay-his-health-insurance-mandate/
While I wish this were running more smoothly, there are other reasons outside of the Tea Party, to think that more trouble is coming.
I remember when the government tried to get this country to go on the metric system. I see something similar in play here right now. Hopefully it will get straightened out. It needs to.
EDIT: Reuters had an article on this as well:

Yes, he does. As long as he faithfully executes the law.
But that is moot. There is absolutely no reason why POTUS/admin thinks the individual mandate should be delayed for a year. There is no reason.
Yes, there is a reason why republicans want it delayed, because they not only win this fight, they also remove a major revenue stream for ACA and then put the mandate back in play during the election.
Why would republicans want this to happen during an election?
Because bad-faith wedge issues is all they have. They are purposefully denying people, including kids and low-income citizens, access to affordable health care. They are 10000000% willing to let millions suffer for them to score political points in 2014.
This is why the GOP needs to cripple the baggers, and then the entire republican party should jump off a fucking cliff. This country has moved decades beyond their nonsense. The corporate Democrats are as far of a right-wing group as any modern country needs.
Thank you. From a cursory read this is the same Act that is being used to bring lawsuits; that this was violated. But that may be beside the point. If the President has the power to do this, doesn't he have the power to delay the individual mandate as well?
TeaParty Congressman Blames Park Ranger for Shutdown
Easy.
It's called the Administrative Procedures Act of 1946.
Help me understand how the President has the authority/power to delay implementing the corporate mandate of the law.

Are you saying that once a person decides to start acting they give up their right to voice informed opinions?
I love it when Hollywood actors play the moral authority.

syria-most sought after chess piece
Syria has been producing their own CW's for at least three decades.
The entire world knows this, and you can find their GPS data even on Wikipedia. By all accounts, yes, the Syrian government has deployed CW's on its own people at least three times in the last 18 months.
But, even with all of this knowledge, the US has no legal standing to do anything about it.

But, to be expected from this batch of SNL folks. So I guess they are typically boring.
