Rep. Matt Salmon (R-AZ) told reporters Wednesday that he had no doubt in his mind that President Obama would delay Obamacare’s individual mandate before Jan. 1.

“I’ll predict it right now that within the next few months, the president himself will delay the individual mandate,” Salmon said during a briefing with reporters. “At the end of the day, mark my words, he will end up postponing it.”
