Unlike millions of ordinary Americans, the President of the United States didn´t have to test his patience with an error-prone website or spend hours on the phone with a volunteer ´navigator´ in order to sign up for new health insurance. A White House official confirmed Monday that Barack Obama simply dispatched his aides to the Washington, D.C. insurance exchange´s office, where they filed his papers in person--while Obama himself luxuriated in his annual Hawaiian vacation with his family. ´His situation is unique,´ the official insisted. ´The president couldn´t have used the DC exchange´s website because the databases these sites use

did he have a secret service agent pay for it for him?

Presidents and their families get free* care for life.
Read this great analogy of ObamaFlowers that I got in an email and pass it on. Obama Flowers - Have you ordered yours yet? (Receptionist) Hello, Welcome to ObamaFlowers, My name is Trina. How can I help you? (Customer) Hello, I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower order has been canceled and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the 800 number. (Receptionist) Yes, I am sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of November – or maybe December. But I can help you. (Customer) Thanks, I ordered a "Spring Bouquet" for our anniversary, and wanted it delivered to my wife. (Receptionist Interrupting) Sir, "Spring Bouquets" do not meet our minimum standards, I will be happy to provide you with Red Roses. (Customer) But I have always ordered "Spring Bouquets", done it for years, my wife likes them. (Receptionist) Roses are better, sir. I am sure your wife will love them. (Customer) Well, how much are they? (Receptionist) It depends sir, do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package. (Customer) What's the difference? (Receptionist) 6, 12,18 or 24 Red Roses. (Customer) The Silver package may be okay, how much is it? (Receptionist) It depends sir, what is you monthly income? (Customer) What does that have to do with anything? (Receptionist) I need that to determine your government flower subsidy, then I can determine how much your out of pocket cost will be. But if your income is below our minimums for a subsidy, then I can refer you to our FlowerAid department. (Customer) FlowerAid? (Receptionist) Yes, Flowers are a Right, everyone has a right to flowers. So, if you can't afford them, then the government will supply them free of charge. (Customer) Who said they were a Right? (Receptionist) Congress passed it, the President signed it and the Supreme Court found it Constitutional. (Customer) Whoa.....I don't remember seeing anything in the Constitution regarding Flowers as a Right. (Receptionist) It is not really a Right in the Constitution, but ObamaFlowers is Constitutional because the Supreme Court Ruled it a "Tax". Taxes are Constitutional. But we feel it is a Right. (Customer) I don't believe this... (Receptionist) It's the law of the land sir. Now, we anticipated most people would go for the Silver Package, so what is you monthly income sir? (Customer) Forget it, I think I will forgo the flowers this year. (Receptionist) In that case sir, I will still need your monthly income. (Customer) Why? (Receptionist) To determine what your 'non-participation' cost would be. (Customer) WHAT? Your can't charge me for NOT buying flowers! (Receptionist) It's the law of the land, sir, approved by the Supreme Court. It's $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income..... (Customer)interrupting) This is ridiculous, I'll pay the $9.50.. (Receptionist) Sir, it is the $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income, whichever is greater. (Customer) ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What a ripoff!! (Receptionist) Actually sir, it is a good deal. Next year it will be 2%. (Customer) Look, I'm going to call my Congressman to find out what's going on here. This is ridiculous. I'm not going to pay it. (Receptionist) Sorry to hear that sir, that's why I had the NSA track this call and obtain the make and model of the cell phone your are using. (Customer) Why does the NSA need to know what kind of CELL PHONE I AM USING? (Receptionist) So they get your GPS coordinates sir (Door Bell rings followed immediately by a loud knock on the door) (Receptionist) That would be the IRS sir. Thanks for calling ObamaFlowers, have a nice day...and God Bless America.
What gets me is that NO ONE in any sort of authority has come out to claim the website isn’t still a hackers’ paradise. How the government can recommend people use the site when it hasn’t even been declared safe is beyond me.
NO, you did.
“His situation is unique,’ the official insisted. ‘The president couldn’t have used the DC exchange’s website because the databases these sites use to confirm insurance eligibility wouldn’t contain those sorts of records about him.’”
Of course it wouldn’t contain those records - HE IS A FRAUD.
Is that legal?
They pay* for their health care.
(lol = lol)
“Is that legal?”
For him it is.
so when does the enrollment period end?
“so when does the enrollment period end?”
The 24th.
“Hey kids, come down here and sit by the fireplace a minute... right.. there is something we need to talk about... health insurance... now as you know the new law says we are mandated to buy health insurance.... the bad news is that it is now terribly expensive. In fact, we couldn’t buy you those gifts you wanted this year.”
Where is that cartoon from the Simpson’s with the goofy dude pointing a finger and saying “Ha-Ha!!!”
Hahahahahaha I wish that literally happen to all those goofs who voted for this tyranny.
Now they’re laughing about Odumbo in Europe too. I know some English don’t consider Great Britain as actually being “in Europe”, but you know what I mean.
ACA = Barry’s Folly
