Prez: I'll switch insurer

WASHINGTON -- President Obama yesterday bowed to criticism that his new health-care laws exempt him from buying coverage at the government-run "exchanges" and announced the first family will get its insurance just like everyday folks.

The White House revealed Obama's pledge to shop at the "exchanges" in response to an amendment by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) that would have stripped the president and other executive-branch officials of the exemption.

"We think the amendment is unnecessary; the president will participate in the exchange. But let's be clear: the amendments being offered by Senate Republicans, including this one, are just a ploy to delay the bill," said White House spokesman Reid Cherlin. The exchanges don't open until 2014, so Obama's participation as president will depend on his winning re-election in 2012.

right! and he will show us the long form at the same time

[Red in Blue PA]

Present......and now Exempt.

[Logical me]

BS

[VeniVidiVici]

This putz has lied about everything else since his election why start telling the truth now?

[browniexyz]

Window dressing! BS!!!

[Mr. Wright]

And I am sure the State-run media will stay right on top of this and report as soon as he does what he says he is going to do.

[I still care]

Yeah, right. He’ll convieniently forget this, maybe by making an excuse that his kids need some different insurance or care. Just like he “forgot” to get his daughters a “rescue mutt” because one of them had “allergies”.

[cranked]

How many ways can you say “BS!”?

[Nachum]

The list, ping

[ronnyquest]

Sure, the first family will get the same coverage as the masses.

[PaleoBob]

Lie number 143,987 from Comrade Obamsky. Ho hum.

Hey! I’ve got a bridge for sale in Brooklyn! Anyone interested?

[GnuHere]

Amazingly, I bet he’ll find a plan that “covers” what must be the most comprehensive executive exam in the country, seeing the POTUS for his yearly physical. Details of which we will never hear, of course, kinda like the grade/transcript thingy.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Sure he will.
Now excuse me while I stand up so the monkeys can fly out of my butt.

[MamaLucci]

Yep.......and the HC debate will be on CSPAN, and they lived happily ever after......The End

[peeps36]

This bill is so great that the people who wrote it and the morons who passed it made sure they were exempt from it. They wonder why so many citizens are close to committing acts of violence against them. Being spit on will look tame compared to what will come if they keep pushing people into a corner.

I'm at my wits end with all the lying. Don't those congress critters and all levels of the federal government know we know that they are lying?

I also don't understand that muslims and Amish get a break. Obama wouldn't let home schooled kids and Cathlics kids to go to the WH egg roll. Who in the hell does this a-hole think he is? Good grief!

[Sunshine Sister]

Us should be Catholic kids!

[Oceander]

Bull and Siht. More lies from the brownshirt.
