So, let's see, the part about requiring employees and employers to pay for Obamacare has now been postponed until 2016. -- Of course, that's always been the problem with this 'feel good legislation' -- it sounds good, but, the liberals have absolutely no rational idea of how to pay for it. Today, I noticed that raising the interest rates on student loans has now been postponed until 2015 (Not necessarily a bad thing). Actual immigration reform has also been largely postponed, .... along with a host of other 'sound byte' initiatives.
-- My point is that it seems easy to come-up with a lot of 'popular' programs and initiatives (AKA: 'pandering to constituents') ... and then leave the implementation and funding for the next administration to straighten-out. - Where O' where are the real leaders? --- Must we always be saddled with 'hack politicians'?

It's S.O.P. for previous administrations to screw the guy coming in after them.
Sounds like the Bush Administration along with every one since the government started. George Washington's administration dumped paying for the revolution on to the Adams administration.
So you can continue to obstruct the Democrat's efforts to make the programs workable? How many years can the Republicans continue the silly game of being the problem and then complaining about the problem?
Both parties conduct the same type of political gamesmanship --- Both seek to look good through sound bytes or media posturing ... while not really accomplishing anything or being held accountable for what they say or promise (Look at our President .. who has spent almost 5-years 'giving political speeches' and blaming everyone else for the lack of leadership and results!) -- T. Jefferson was right when he said, "May God preserve us from politicians who take our money under the pretense of taking care of us."
I'm not sure the problem can be fixed in our polarized, media-fueled Washington environment ... since the people we would rely on to 'fix it' ... are the ones who 'keep it broke'! --- I guess all we can do is rant and vote and hope for a better day.

True.
On Clinton's last day in office:
-There was no surplus, but he had an ultra rosy projection for one so the next guy could get criticized.
-Increased outsourcing and the trade deficit with his permanent most favored nation status to China.
-Deregulation of Glass-Stegall.
-A Growing Housing Market Bubble.
-The collapse of the NASDAQ Dot-Com Stock Bubble.
-NAFTA
And all of these things are high criticized, but rarely get pointed out as Clinton being partially responsible.
Bush saddled Obama with two unfunded wars and cut revenues that would've helped pay for them, so, why not?
Wait for the crickets from the conserviBots.
