Rubio pushing bill to delay ObamaCare mandate over website meltdown

The widespread problems with the ObamaCare website are generating a new backlash in Congress, with Sen. Marco Rubio planning to introduce legislation that would delay the health law's individual mandate until the technical failures are addressed.

Rubio's plan would delay the mandate until the Government Accountability Office certifies the system is "up and running and effectively working for six months, consecutive."

Uninsured Americans have until about mid-February to sign up for coverage if they are to meet the law's requirement that they be insured by the end of March. If they don't, they will face a penalty.

I wonder how many liberals will say the mandate should not be delayed, no matter what.

I wonder if this is a bit of revers psychology. Getting all the Dems on record for saying it shouldn't be delayed... then have an unhappy public, and then have Dems backtracking and asking for delays....

I realize however, that I am likely giving FAAAAARRRR too much credit to Rubio and the GOP hierarchy, though.
