Campaign promise.  Which we had already: he'd campaigned on a plan that
didn't have a mandate at all.  But keeping stupid promises is stupid.

Of course, despite our habit of attributing everything to the alpha
primate, the law is primarily Congress's, not Obama's.  His role
ultimately comes down to deciding whether or not to veto it.
