Blame Yourself, Barack

Barack Obama has only himself to blame if Obamacare and other pieces of his legacy are so vulnerable to successful legal challenge.

He was an unscrupulous corner-cutter who bragged about how his "pen and phone" presidency minimized the need to work with Congress or forge political consensus. And the half-baked scheme called Obamacare was imposed on America via party-line vote, sowing the seeds of dissent that are bearing fruit today. 

Live by the pen, die by the pen, Big Guy. Expediency, executive overreach, corner-cutting and deceptive advertising (ala "you can keep your health plan") made this great reversal all but inevitable.

Trump is only following the arrogant, imperious, go-it-alone precedent set by his predecessor.
