As Twitchy reported, the White House recently announced yet another delay in the Obamacare employer mandate. And during today’s joint presser with French President François Hollande, intellectual acrobat Obama did his best to explain the extra-constitutional move — with a little help from the Euphemism Fairy, natch:
Obama on yesterday's ACA change — another "small category" for which "an adjustment" was made
— Edward-Isaac Dovere (@IsaacDovere) February 11, 2014
Obama on ACA delay: it was a "minor adjustment" for a "really small" number of employers.

Obama says administration's move yesterday on Obamacare was an "adjustment" to give companies more time to comply

After his 27 changes to the ACA Law, Obama just told the Press,that his latest adulteration of it, was just a minor tweak

Nothing to see here!
Obama just claimed the repeated delays of the employer mandate are "consistent with what we've done with the individual mandate." HUH???

Obama: Latest health-care delay is "example of smoothing out this transition"

Obama on #ACA delay for small employers: complying "may take them some time" delay is an example of "smoothing the transition."

Oh! He’s just “smoothing,” you guys. Guess we have nothing to worry about.
Obama says latest Obamacare delay is "smoothing out" the transition to the law … while ignoring the Constitution. http://t.co/8KUjX2lskM

Basically, Barack Obama has decided that, as president, he has the power to selectively enforce the law. And as good little subjects, we should just gobble up his sugar-coated B.S and like it.
Obama: The newest delay only affects a teensy tiny little 10% of the workforce.

Only about half a million employers MT @bennyjohnson: Obama on ACA delay: it was a "minor adjustment" for a "really small" # of employers.

Cue Office Space "we fixed the glitch" “@bennyjohnson: Obama on ACA delay: it was a "minor adjustment" …”

Because President Obama totally isn’t the type of person to punish people who disagree with him. No sir.
