The Wall Street Journal, a leading and persistent critic of Obamacare, apologized to its readers Thursday for being too soft over the law.
"These columns fought the Affordable Care Act from start to passage, and we'd now like to apologize to our readers. It turns out we weren't nearly critical enough," the paper said in an editorial on its website.
"The law's implementation is turning into a fiasco for the ages, and this week's version is the lawless White House decision to delay the law's insurance mandate for businesses, though not for individuals."
That decision, announced Tuesday evening, is the latest in a series of blunders by the Obama administration, the paper said.
The change was revealed in a blog post by Mark Mazur, a deputy assistant Treasury secretary, and came just as Washington "began to evacuate for the long Independence Day weekend."
White House Spokeswoman Valerie Jarrett tried to handle the fallout from the surprise announcement with a blog post of her own, saying Obamacare is still on track.
"That's true only if she's referring to the carelessness and improvisation that have defined the law so far," the Journal said.
