Obama announces he will veto any bill that changes Obamacare, including the “Keep your plan” offers from both parties in Congress.
Good news! Obama announces he will veto any bill that changes Obamacare, including the “Keep your plan” offers from both parties in Congress.
For once I agree whole-heartedly with Obama. The bills in Congress now are foolish, and only serve to make Obamacare more permanent and even more flawed. Let us have a full repeal, and let him veto that. At least then the next election will be on this issue, clearly.
And in related news, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) states that he is going to introduce repeal legislation.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either. IMPORTANT! If you donate enough to get a book, please email me separately to tell me which book you want and the address to mail it to.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Bring the issue honestly right to him and do not blink. Then bring it again and again.
Being forced to face ones own dishonesty and manipulations in the mirror of truth will tell the tale. Even if the one being forced to face themselves rejects the outcome. ( the exercise is not about what the manipulator realizes about themselves but about what others learn about how they have deluded themselves in being happily mislead. )
This would be funny if it wasn’t so serious. Obama will veto legislation that allows people to keep their plans but he will issue a dictate that purports to do the very same thing. We live in bizarro world.
The solution needs to be the total elimination of the Affordable Care Act through legislation not piecemeal fixes that prolong the pain. Let him veto it, strategically this is now a no win situation for him.
In addition there needs to be concrete market based, “bi-partisan” (I hate that word) ideas and solutions that replace it.
The fact that Executive branch under Obama has arbitrarily changed “the law of the land” several separate times by executive fiat without political blow back from congress is reason enough to demand the third branch being the supreme court to step in and declare this law unworkable, unfair, unsettled and unconstitutionally changed and illegally administered by the Office of the President.
The Supreme Court does not just insert itself into any issue it feels compelled to insert itself into, a case has to be filed by whom ever and then they decide to hear it or not and when. In addition the president does have some degree of wiggle room in regards to the implementation of law just by the virtue of being the president.
i was wrong in my thinking that Americans could stand for their Rights of Freedom , when I was growing up, these so – called lawmakers and Rulers of the Free World would have been either shot on sight or tarred and feathered and railroaded out of town. I can Not Believe what has been allowed the power of our elected officials. what with unduly Regulations that only project More costs to the people and to the further misuse of any Law withstanding upon Any of us, rich or poor. This once Great Nation has been pillaged and , under current regime, will fall . Just like the former Soviet Union did in modern Times and Other Great Governments of our collected Past.
read the 5th Amendment
Please understand that the President’s “wiggle room” allows him the discretion to prioritize or emphasize certain laws through his DOJ, but (a BIG but) the President can’t arbitrarily change the law at his whim multiple times just because it has his name as a moniker.
Regarding the Supreme Court, all that is needed is for a petition of writ of certiorari to be accepted by the Supreme Court to hear a case. Remember, this was done in the case of AlGore vs. U.S. contesting the results of GW Bush’s winning the 2000 Presidential elections. How could anyone forget “hanging chads” oh lo so many years ago.
