Why is Obama and Reid Refusing a 1 Year Delay of ACA Individual Mandate?
Serious answer:
Because they lack the authority to do so.
The ACA is current Federal law, in effect for three years now. That certain provisions are being phased in doesnt change that.
The Executive has nothing to do with amending existing Federal law. And likewise Reid cant amend Federal law without both Houses of Congress.
Theres also no good reason to amend the ACA to delay the IM, its an important part of the law and was upheld as Constitutional by the Supreme Court.
Last, the ACA has nothing to do with Congress responsibility to fund the government and ensure the government can pay its bills; it makes no sense to bring up the ACA in that context.

Obama, unconstitutionally, has revised the law 7 times already. They can delay the 'phasing in' of the individual mandate. He just chooses not too
Fact is, he will do for evil big business what he will not do for the common man
Change indeed

If he's 'unconstitutionally' revised the law already, why are you calling for him to do it again?
btw, it's not unconstitutional, except to some extremists like you who see unconstitutional boogie men under the bed every night.
