Obama Administration Has Fallback Plan

[Patricia Baber]

In light of the possibility of the Supreme Court striking down Obamacare in its entirety, the word around DC among insiders, is that the administration is already warning of summer chaos if the Supreme Court decision goes against them.

They are calling it a "Healthcare Warfare" plan.  Their plan is to screw up the administrative machine so badly that there will be delays, confusion and then, the inevitable ANGER.

Obama will then point to the chaos and tell the American people "I told you so!"

His handlers will then run him against Congress, the Supreme Court, alleged racism and Wall Street -- the "white" knight (as it were) riding the charging stallion to save the nation and the sheep who live in it.

The Anointed One will be running against everything and for nothing.

The word is that the "mandate" is about 80% gone and the rest of Obamacare is about 50/50.

When this happens, it will be no surprise.  I say, bring it on big mouth!

The perfect predictor of future behavior is past behavior!  This man and his Administration will stop at nothing to destroy this country! It appears that the Supreme Court will at least strike down the mandate and possibly the entire Law! The left will opt for burning the country to the ground if ObamaCare is found totally Unconstitutional!

I also find it funny that they are going to try and blame the republicans by stating that is was the republicans that required the individual mandate be put in the bill, otherwise the republicans would not give the democrats the votes to pass it. The problem is that not 1 republican voted for this bill because the democrats didn't need them with the super majority that they had held in the house and senate.  Such liars.

Informative post, Patricia. I tend to agree with Homer; without the mandate the rest ultimately falls - it's a different Congress after all. However, the Democrats actually did put a Severability Clause into the House version. When it came back approved from the Senate it was taken out. The House never re-inserted it - thank goodness.
