Oh, this is rich.
As you’re well aware by now, the Obamacare employer mandate has been delayed until 2015. And as you’re also well aware, Robert Reich is a colossal jackass. Here’s what the former U.S. Labor Secretary had to say about the delay:
GOP delighted with Obamacare delay. Gives them more time to demonize it before average Americans enjoy its benefits.
— Robert Reich (@RBReich) July 3, 2013
So, basically, not only is the GOP rejoicing at the news, but the reason the GOP is happy is that the delay will prevent “average Americans” from enjoy Obamacare’s “benefits.”

Spin like the wind, Bobby!
These tweeters managed to refrain from gigglesnorting and facepalming just long enough to rebut Mr. Reich’s asinine pronouncement:
@RBReich Hmmm, I know lots of average Americans who aren't going to see those benefits and will likely lose their jobs.

Shorter @RBReich: I'm more concerned about the political ramifications of #ObamaCare delay than anything else… https://t.co/4xX6krh58C

.@RBReich help us understand why 1,200 average American employers received waivers instead of enjoying the benefits.

It certainly doesn’t seem like Obamacare’s all that beneficial, does it?

How about some exit questions for Mr. Reich?
@RBReich Hi Bob, JR Ewing here. My boyfriend's health insurance premium increased. How is that a benefit? #curious

@RBReich And also, why aren't you attacking the person who, yanno, delayed the employer mandate…Obama?
— Jean R. Ewing (@GenNerd) July 3, 2013
Precisely, if Obamacare is great why isn't @RBReich attacking WH for delaying it rather than blame GOP? @RBPundit
