NYT came about as close as the MSM will to calling him out on it.
Changing Stance, Administration Now Defends Insurance Mandate as a Tax By ROBERT PEAR Published: July 16, 2010 WASHINGTON — When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.” And that power, they say, is even more sweeping than the federal power to regulate interstate commerce. Administration officials say the tax argument is a linchpin of their legal case in defense of the health care overhaul and its individual mandate, now being challenged in court by more than 20 states and several private organizations. ... |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed the Senate on December 24, 2009, by a vote of 60–39 with all Democrats and Independents voting for, and all Republicans voting against. It passed the House of Representatives on March 21, 2010, by a vote of 219–212, with all 178 Republicans and 34 Democrats voting against the bill. At the time of the vote, there were four vacancies in the House. Notice anything fishy about the dates and order in which that tax law (obunga is the one calling it a tax) passed each house of Congress? Hint: Article I Section 7 All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills. |

The SCOTUS will wipe its ass with the Healthcare Bill, if it even gets to them before being thrashed. Obama isn't getting the free pass from the courts that he thought he would. The SCOTUS isn't going to buy the sophomoric argument the Holder Justice Department puts forth.
Now, I think it's sad that the courts are our last hope, and that Congress doesn't give a shit about the Constitution. November can't come soon enough. Also, does anyone else think Eric Holder looks like a catfish? |

This is great. If it IS a tax, then it fails constitutional muster since a tax bill must originate in the house. This, I believe, is one of the tacks that challengers are taking. There is no room for interpretation: If it is a tax bill it is void since it did not originate in the house.

If it is a tax, it's still a tax on someone that has not bought a private contract from a private company simply because they are alive.
There is no way to avoid the situation that requires the tax or the private contract purchase and is therefore a poll tax and that has already been found to be unconstitutional. |

Yeah, except this President touted himself as being "committed to making his administration the most open and transparent in history", yet has been pretty much totally opposite that in the short time he has been in office. He's a liar and a fraud who was supposedly going to rise above the petty machinations of previous administrations and "heal the planet." |

Quoted: Volokh Conspiracy, Administration Now Says Individual Mandate Is a "Tax,” by Jonathan H. Adler (Case Western): During the debate over health care reform, the Obama Administration steadfastly denied that a statutory penalty for failing to purchase a government-approved health insurance policy would constitute a "tax.” The President himself categorically rejected the argument that the mandate is a tax in an ABC interview. Now, however, the Administration is relying upon the federal taxing power to defend the constitutionality of the health care law. http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2010/07/after-denying-.html If it is a tax, it's a non-income-tax direct tax... Which means every penny has to be apportioned among the states, or it's unconstitutional... Which means it's unconstitutional. |

Lot's of good news (note the dripping sarcasm> coming out about Obama Care in recent weeks:
- While claiming no taxes related to HC, his Admin. is now pushing the mandate as a "tax"?? - No Federal funding for abortions, yep! another lie and apparently the Peoples Republic of Md is #2 on the list of states ok with that, go figure! - You can keep your Dr! yep, more bullshit from the Socialist in Chief. Folks are finding out the choice to retain their Doctors most likely won't be applicable, another big surprise! or not!
So one can only imagine the lovely little things we'll find out were in the "Financial Reform" bill!
