Obama Couldn’t Use Website To Sign Up For Obamacare

HONOLULU — He won’t use it, and he didn’t actually sign up for it himself, but President Barack Obama has enrolled for health coverage through the new insurance exchanges.

Announcing his enrollment Monday, the White House called it a symbolic show of Obama’s support for the fledgling exchanges where millions of Americans must buy insurance or face a penalty. Ironically, it also served as a reminder of just how complex and sometimes daunting the process can be.

Obama, like so many other Americans, couldn’t use the website.

“The complicated nature of the president’s case required an in-person sign-up,” the White House said.

White House officials noted that for security reasons, the president’s personal information is not readily available in government databases that the exchanges use to verify identities and check eligibility for tax subsidies.

What an interesting reason. Does he have some odd or embarrassing condition that has not been disclosed previously? What's "complicated??"

If a Republican did something like this, the MSM would be ballistic.

To the contrary: If he were a Republican the MSM would have gone ballistic October 2nd if he had NOT done this the day before.

The most amazing thing about the story is the comments on the website. They are brutal and almost 100% anti-Obama. Remember, this is a DC CBS station. One would have to believe that a large percentage of those posting are either Federal Workers or rely on the Federal Government in order to make a living.

I see what you did there. LOL!

He won’t use it, and he didn’t actually sign up for it . . . Barack Obama has enrolled for health coverage through the new insurance exchanges . . . the White House called it a symbolic show of Obama’s support for the fledgling exchanges where millions of Americans must buy insurance or face a penalty.

In other words, like everything else in his drug-addled life, someone did it for Obama, and it was only done for symbolic reasons.

Obama is a sick person and needs help.

I plan to “symbolically” sign up - I will not comply with an immoral, unconstitutional law that forces me to give up my right to privacy and right ti choose how I will live my life.

[TaMoDee]

Yes!

[McGruff]

Obama, like so many other Americans, couldn’t use the website.

Hmm, whose Social Security number should I use?

Stolen from another FReeper, and funny as heck IMHO.

Legacy? Who needs a legacy?

For all you 'doubters' out there here's proof positive that Bammy signed up at the website.

I just heard that now people have until Jan 4th to pay the premium. This is laughable.
