only an idiot would think a liar can be trusted.

And only a fool would deny the fact that everybody lies.

And since he is, as an American president, entitled to care through the military, he will now pay $4800 annually for absolutely nothing, congratulations on your 'victory.'

Obama signs up for health care, buying bronze plan the White House calls 'symbolic' - The Washington Post

WaPo was able to find one honest Republican to comment.

Way the coverage here told it was his aides signed him up. My first thought was, isn't that illegal? The information being of a personal nature and such. Symbollic and redundant or not, signing up's signing up and akin to signing an affivdavit yes?

I re-read the article and see no mention of aides signing him up.

Was on one of the tv news chans. Watch em all so haven't the foggiest which it was. But googling around just now here's one such link,

Obama 'symbolically' enrolls in Obamacare by sending aides to file papers during his Hawaiian vacation | Mail Online

"Even the president can't use the Obamacare website! Obama 'symbolically' enrolls but has to send aides to file papers in PERSON"

"He dispatched his aides to DC Health Link, the Obamacare affiliate in the nation's capital, to file the papers while he was on vacation"

Obama must have watched this and was convinced that he must sign up. I mean with those images who could possibly refuse

He had no choice but to sign up. Besides it IS the law...right?

You guys act like he did something special or something. If Obama sneezes, some people act like he just parted the water

If somebody starts a thread bitching because he didn't sign up, then yeah. People will post when he does so.

Pretty logical, really.

Now he's just like one of us...

He doesn't qualify because he can't prove he's a citizen. He didn't sign up.

Fail. The law is you have to have insurance not sign onto that trainwreck of a website.

The equivalent of Obama signing up would be
if the Conservatives set up a MANDATORY prolife health care system, and everyone was required to buy insurance that met PROLIFE requirements to be exempted from a tax, or else pay 1% tax penalty of your salary into a health care network controlled and regulated by PROLIFE groups. (where any health care programs you fund that is prochoice DON'T COUNT for exemptions and you STILL have to pay the SAME amount into this PROLIFE system that is APPROVED by the "powers that be").

Then if Obama had to pay for his system he believes in and is requiring for all citizens
AND was required to pay into the other system he didn't believe in but is EQUALLY required for all citizens to pay into directly or indirectly, that would be the equivalent.

And since he is, as an American president, entitled to care through the military, he will now pay $4800 annually for absolutely nothing, congratulations on your 'victory.'

“I’m not going to take a cheap shot at him for signing up,” Chaffetz said. “It really wasn’t necessary, but if he didn’t do it, we would all bark at him. . . . He’s the president of the United States. His health care is a little different than the rest of us. We get that.”

The GOP push to get Obama to sign up dates to the crafting of the law in 2010. As the Senate neared debate on the bill that would become the Affordable Care Act, Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) introduced an amendment that would require Obama and Vice President Biden, as well as the Cabinet and top White House staff members, to purchase health insurance through the marketplaces.

“It’s pretty unbelievable that the president and his closest advisers remain untouched by the reforms they pushed for the rest of the country,” Grassley said at the time. “In other words, President Obama’s health-care reform won’t apply to President Obama.”

Senate Democrats rejected that approach, arguing that the purpose was to cover those not already offered insurance by their employers. Congress approved a separate provision requiring lawmakers and some of their staff members to use the exchanges, but not the president or his aides.

Nonetheless, the White House said at the time that Obama would sign up for an insurance plan through the program once the marketplaces went online.

He is CHOOSING to do so.
Others don't have that CHOICE.

Just like when he changed his mind about gay marriage.
He did so by FREE CHOICE not force of law.

Anyone can CHOOSE to support gay marriage.
You can carry that out on your own, and don't need to impose it by law on people who don't believe in it.

Now he is campaigning to change this by force of law.
But that's not how he arrived at his own decision!

He had freedom of choice, without penalty without the law DICTATING it.
But the laws he supports IMPOSE this so others don't have that same freedom.
