You notice the individual mandate is going nowhere.
Glad to see that Obama is setting precedent that the Executive branch can just suspend mandates written into laws passed by the legislature. Hopefully the next Republican president suspends both mandates, employer and individual, permanently!

This. That's what happens when you try to have your cake and eat it too. You leave your precious law open to have the crap "mandated" out of it.Hopefully the next Republican president suspends both mandates, employer and individual, permanently!
Problem is though, the GOP (minus the Tea Party) sort of wants this kind of power. Government never shrinks. Obama knows this, so once Obamacare starts getting its hooks into the system it will only grow and increase forever until it breaks the system completely. The only chance is to prevent as much of it from being implemented as possible until someone is elected who will mandate it into the dustbin of history where it belongs.
THEN hopefully a conservative congress will come along and repeal it completely. Ideally, they would use the same bogus tactics to UNDO Obamacare that the Democrats used to pass it in the first place.
Yeah, I'm not really going to take any kind of polling seriously when there's so much misinformation out there. When there are people out there that genuinely believe things like Obama is responsible for the nation's budget by blaming a lot of fiscal fuck ups on him, I'm not really going to trust their opinions on a lot of other things.
I'd say there should be a compulsory civics class that everyone must pass before voting, but that would be violating a lot of voting rights amendments, and would potentially be violating the first amendment allowing Fox to wrongly teach people how government works... I mean err, freedom of the press.

I want to know whether or not he can simply mandate what will or won't be implemented.

Please see my previous comment several pages back on what social security was supposed to be for.
SS was never intended for, nor should it have been, a retirement plan. It was implemented prior to unions, where industrial accidents were common and it would pay for say dismemberment or death in the event of an accident. Years later, unions formed and started collecting dues. Those dues were supposed to go to people/families that suffered an injury that prevented them from working. Now both of those systems largely ignore that. SS goes to people that walk into an office and sign an X on a form. Union dues go to political campaigns. The programs that were built to protect the 90% were long abandoned and pillaged constantly for any other purpose
They were both very necessary programs that were well intentioned and necessary 100 years ago. But in the past 50 years have been raided and pillaged and so very bastardized by most parties (commentary: I'm not addressing all unions...but some of the biggest ones) that they have destroyed the very base they were built on.
