President Obama tried to turn us into villains for our necessary actions and said he\u2019d veto both bills.\r\nNow, the reality of millions of Americans losing their insurance as a result of this flawed law has caused President Obama to partially delay the individual mandate.\r\nThe Senate should immediately take-up the House passed bills on the delays to the individual and employer mandates and pass them. President Obama then needs to sign them.\r\nWe are not a country ruled by fiat from the White House.
