#1 Obama knows Obama care is un-workable, he's attempting to delay OUR knowledge until he finishes his term.

And it's too late.

#2 Delay needed to align 'separate computer systems'

Oh, I see, a system administration problem. Should be a few of those people available from the thousands recently let go by NSA.

#3 I hear some Snowden guy is available. Should take him 10 minutes tops because he's some uber-cool-admin or something according to the media.

#4 This is the kind of crap that really pisses me off.

For > 30 years this type of thing has beem my area of expertise.

Delay needed to align 'separate computer systems'

Any systems analyst worth his check knows from day one how hard or easy (well maybe) this key deliverable will be. ALL scheduling "should" be done with this in mind; also all testing plans should have this in mind. There is no legitimate reason for any of this to be "unexpected".

It is, however, a handy dandy excuse for the great unwashed to do whatever you want going forward.

#5 Yes Alan, clearly an excuse, and a week one at that. How often do we see computer systems blamed for malfeasance? Not certain how it can even be chirped with a straight face.

#6 The grace period has been outlined on the Labor Departments Web site since February, but was obscured in a maze of legal and bureaucratic language that went largely unnoticed. When asked in recent days about the language which appeared as an answer to one of 137 frequently asked questions about Affordable Care Act implementation department officials confirmed the policy.

What pisses me off is they have hidden this for 6 months.

#7 Presidential "Press Conferences" no longer exist becuase the one does not answer to anyone. Only brown nose media parties.

#8 One point: the ACA law may allow him (or the secretary of DHHS, which is the same thing) to issue delays. It allows him to issue waivers -- the Dems built that into the law. So before we declare this latest delay to be 'illegal', read the fine print. It may only be 'outrageous'.

#9 Single pay system. That is what all this was for.

#10 And it's too late.

For you, maybe. It will take a while for the rest to figure it out. And then there are a lot of undead voters who have to be factored in, too.
