Now Dems are suddenly open to a 'delay' in the individual mandate? (UPDATE)

So...why the hell did Democrats (yes, Reid, the Democrat-run Senate and Obama) shut the government down over this? Simply because the Republicans requested that Obamacare be delayed first? You got it. It was all about ideologypolitical scoring, boys and girls. Ri-damn-diculous.
FoxNews: WHITE HOUSE OPENS DOOR TO OBAMACARE DELAY - As the federal government teetered on the brink of shutdown at the end of last month, the White House and Senate Democrats flatly refused a Republican emergency spending bill that would have kept the government open but delayed ObamaCare’s requirement that individuals purchase health insurance by March 31 or face a fine. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid responded to a GOP counteroffer by saying Republicans had “lost their minds.” But after an epic failure of a launch for the new health insurance entitlement and with the partial shutdown over, “delay” suddenly isn’t a dirty word anymore. With many of those subject to the fine unable to sign up due to manifold botches in the enrollment process, Democrats are warming up to the idea.
See, if the R's come up with it, it's bad; but if the D's come up with it, it's good. So goes the mainstream media mantra...when the narrative should be if such a private institution as your personal health care is government-controlled, period, it's dead wrong!

Looks like Lee and Cruz were on the right path all along...should have stood solidly behind them, Republican Party.

ADDENDUM: Levin spoke of this, the Republican delimma and more concerning the Obamacare trainwreck, saying, "now the Democrats are coming to the rescue of...the Democrats!"



UPDATE: Oh, wow...the Obama administration is finally taking House Republicans and Senate conservatives' advice...well, sorta (ok, not really). Six whole weeks...well blow me down! I've got news for them...six more months, six more years, six more decades won't improve this disaster!
