Who said this or where did I read it? Whoever said it says Obama intends to delay Obamacare, he just doesn't want to give the Republicans credit for it. So he'll wait until after some deal is made on other things then will announce the delay himself as a wise decision until the glitches are fixed unrelated to the deal with Congress.

I can't remember if it was said on a TV news program by a guest (probably) or I read it on line in some news column. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm thinking it was said by a guest on some TV news show but I don't know who said it.

That would be pretty stupid of him now. He just shut the government down for 16 days over not delaying. If he delays within the next couple of months, it would look really bad on him.
Of course, keeping this going while people can't sign up through the disastrous exchanges will also look really bad for him.

I read today that 0 people have signed up in Alaska. And a few days ago Sebelius has a big registration party at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, and the government navigators on hand to sign people up couldn't even get through the system to register a single person. It was a sign up party with no sign ups, lol.

Some columnist said a few days ago, that the glitches and crashes in the Federal exchanges, are deliberate. They keep happening, to prevent people from finding out how much their premiums are skyrocketing under Obamacare, and how little the program will pay ($6,000 deductible for many plans).

That may be different from what you're talking about.

Yeah, I don't think that was it. I think the person said he wants to delay it but doesn't want it to appear like the GOP forced his hand so he wants all of this other stuff over so he can announce it himself.

I actually don't want a delay or a defund (which could only be refunded in another year). When all of this shut down/debt limit stuff is off the table, I want everyone back to being focused on Obamacare issues. I want it to go into tax season. I want people to be reminded the tax penaly will go up. I want some potential GOP candidate to keep pounding home the "fairness" aspect that is whether all of these people who pushed it (celebs, unions, Democrat analysts, news media) and/or who voted for it on Capitol Hill are under it themselves. I don't know why the conservative media doesn't ask every person they interview who is for Obamacare or promoting it whether they are under Obamacare themselves, which plan do they have and have their insurance costs gone up. Since no Republican in the House or Senate voted for it, they can't be called a hypocrite. I want to see some "HYPOCRITE" and "UNFAIR" signs at rallies for Democrats running in 2014. I understand the President is going to go back into his Amnesty act when this debt stuff is over.

There's a Forbes article on this:

Why President Obama Will Have To Delay His Health Insurance Mandate - Forbes

I may have seen some variation of this on Twitter.

His ego is too big. He would never do it.

To the sane person paying attention, yes, he would look not just stupid, but a thousand times worse to let what happened in the past couple weeks happen. BUT, the media and just about every liberal will give him a pass. In fact, theyll congratulate him. Watch, if he does it, youll see.
