According to this in the NYT:
But unlike Mr. Bush, who faced confrontational but occasionally cooperative Democrats, Mr. Obama is battling a Republican opposition that has refused to open the door to any legislative fixes to the health care law....
Hello? Until a couple of weeks ago, 'twere Obama who refused to consider legislative fixes that might involve Republicans. True, when the Republicans were trying to delay the individual mandate through legislation (y'know, legally), they were really bent on killing the whole thing... but now that Obama is proposing to delay it by executive fiat (i.e., illegally), suddenly Republican opposition to changing the law is the problem?
