Business got one, why can't individuals.
That's it, mixed in with some "OBAMACARE WILL DESTROY AMERICA" fear mongering

the avg american surprisingly doesn't know a lot about washington in general. what the 3 branches of gov't are, what the difference between obamacare and affordable health care act is (srs), hell some people think he's muslim.
i disagree with ninjahood on obama taking the blame for this 100%, a lot of people understand the GOP is wholly effing ish up...and there isn't really much union within the party.
but part of me has been thinking that because of the lack of understanding about american politics outside of what people watch on the news (aka mainstream media, esp fox news) , that there is a small chance ninjahood might be..dare i say it...right. if people are putting obama's face to everything that happens in washington, then yea i can see people blaming obama for the GOP's foolery.
and its sad. i wouldn't be surprised if i walked on the street, asked 10 random people who the speaker of the house is, and get a right answer 50% of the time.
i swear i cannot stand this country sometimes. sometimes i think i should just live my life ignorant to it all...politics, social issues...but that would make me another dumb american. which is worse :x

If I was president I wouldn't want to pass those mini bills either. That's essentially allowing them to pick and chooses which ever government they please
THAT part of govt? Food stamps? No **** that we don't want that. But THAT type of govt? A statue of Ayn Rand with a gun in one hand and an anti abortion pamphlet in the other? Yes we want that
That's flipping democracy upside down and allowing the minority to decide laws.

I think ninja is right that eventually Obama gets the blame. Most Americans don't know why the house even IS. How can they blame them?
Especially if you thinking 60 years from now. No way in hell average people gonna be talking about John boner
But it honestly doesn't matter unless you talking about ego, legacy etc.
Either way big business with smack fire out of the tea party if we default. Koch and the like will stop funding them and thongs will go back to normal establishment lines

the problem with you is you want him to fail. and your rhetoric reaks of ignorance like the GOP is doing no wrong here. you don't shut down the gov't because you are butt hurt over obama being president, talking about we don't like the healthcare law, even tho SCOTUS cosigned it, and people actually like the idea of getting healthcare.
obama is doing nothing wrong by telling boner to ****. did the democrats shut the gov't down because SCOTUS put bush in power again? no. did democrats shut the govt down because the voting rights act was trashed? no.
you right wing neo conservatives need to eat a **** already
obama is president. so let that hate in your heart out
and keep it moving. go get butt hurt over something else. u kno more than 99.9%? word?

obama only controls da executive branch, and he's da face of da nation..his JOB is to make sure **** is moving,
why do "i want him to fail?" sounds like fear mongering liberal left wing rhetoric.
most americans are agreeing with da individual mandate being delayed is FAIR because da employers got da same thing..hell congress
and certain unions got waviers and/or subsidizes...da more that becomes apparent da more obama looks like a hypocrite.

guys 17% of the public workforce isnt a shutdown. if its more than 50% then i will be like ok it is. the state and i mean both democrats and republicans are furloughing the lower level dudes to be used as leverage against the debates and the ones they hurt will automatically side on the side that benefits them. its all a game.
now janet yellen on the other hand............

Oh the irony, all your post from Benghazi, "Obamacare" or whatever other 'scandals' you're told to be 'outraged' reeks of fear mongering GOP rhetoric talking points. I really don't recall you being so vocal about the president when Bush Jr. was in office.
Do you get employer based insurance?

all those sentences...yet nothing is presented..why would i want obama to fail?
meanwhile nothing substantial has been put forth on why do businesses and unions get a one year delay and everyone else doesn't...

There's no answer for you, it'll always be a 'liberal conspiracy to destroy America'. Do you have employer based insurance?

This is the beginning of the end for America. It may not happen a year or ten years or even fifty years but it's over. Our priorities as a whole are in the wrong place. We complain about democrats aren't doing this or republicans aren't doing that. Why don't we force change ourselves like other first world countries instead waiting for a guy to do it for us. The parliament is afraid of their citizens revolting. You know why we nothing is going to change? Because deep down we as a whole don't care. We are too comfortable. However, when the middle class is fully merged with the poor..standby for the revolution.

RustyShackleford answered this already.
Now, let's try this one again.
What's the reason for delaying it for year for individuals?

There's one answer. Yes, the Administration allowed large businesses to be exempt from the employer mandate until 2015, but the reason is due to those employers claiming they won't be ready to comply with the law until 2015 and the Administration not wanting those insured under large employers' plans to lose coverage. There are also answers in the article to the myth that Congress is exempt, and that unions got the waiver they wanted.
At the end of the day, you and the rest of the fear-mongering Tea Partiers need to realize that there is no conspiracy behind the law, and that it affects employers and individuals in different ways. There is not an equivalency between large employers, small businesses, unions, congress and individuals.
