Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

GOP To Obama: "We're Suing You For Not Enforcing What We Hate"


Republicans have always hated the Affordable Care Act/Obamacare for lots of not-so-good reasons.  Small employers had to get with program by 2014, but the R's screamed "jobs killer", so Obama gave them an extra year to comply.  The R's went nuts when some existing substandard individual plans were cancelled by insurance companies, and those individuals had to pay more to get a real insurance policy.  "We told you rates would go up," they hollered, so Obama gave those another year to stay on their old covers-nothing, half-assed policy.

The president gave the GOP two things it wanted and granted more leeway for small companies and certain individuals.  He did it by Executive Order.  And what thanks does he get from the Republicans?

The Screaming Orange Man says the House will sue him for abuse of his Executive Order privileges in not fully implementing that law they tried so hard to repeal -- Obamacare.

"We hate Obamacare, and we're gonna sue you for not enforcing it!"

Good luck with that, Mr. Boner.
