So the stealth deadline extension was apparently put in place to facilitate the President's own enrollment:
"According to a White House official, the president enrolled in the District of Columbia marketplace and selected from among the lowest-cost options available."
Well of course: it's his money, not ours.
Unsurprisingly, even this modest claim had to be immediately walked back:
"Obama made the selection while on vacation in Hawaii, though his staff signed him up in person in DC"
So how did we miss this awesome money-making opportunity:
"For hire: ObamaTax signer-uppers. For a modest fee, we'll assume your identity and sign you up for coverage."
How about: because it's illegal? "Legal, shmegal, we've got more important things to do."
