While it could be argued that The proposed Work Requirement wavers are a gutting of welfare reform, its closer to Obama trying to "buy" votes from the lazy.
Why, when the vast majority of middle class workers are appalled and sicked by the thought "free money" to people who just flat out refuse to work, would Obama try to, as quietly as he could, pass waivers that would allow states to choose, and get extra government money to subsidize expenses, to mandate or waive welfare work requirements? The answer is easy to see. 1. It rekindles the class warfare, 2. It fans the fires under the seats of all those who want something for nothing and think the rich should pay their way. 3. By leaving it in each states hands to accept or decline the "Offer" of waivers it keeps Obama's hands clean so to speak.
Romney's claim that it "guts" welfare reform could be argued on semantics, however, the Fact is Obama is doing more bribery than gutting w/ this proposal. Naturally, any oposition to the waivers will surely be met by the Obama campain w/ accusations of not careing for the impoverished.
