White House spokesman Jay Carney told a Fox News reporter to "read the Federal Register" in response to whether the president had the authority to change parts of the Obamacare law: "The ability to postpone the deadline is clear," said Carney. "I invite you to read the Federal Register," he said. "I know that'd be a lot to ask." "You'll have to ask me?" the reporter said. "Yes," said Carney, smirking. "Exactly."
