2 questions, and not living in America, please excuse my ignorance, but:

1) Isn't Obamacare all about looking after the lowest income earners in the US, making sure they can get health insurance? So why would the President of the US, need to have this assistance? He must be paid a fair bit over the minimum wage no?

2) Is the following image representative of the OP or not? I fear not.

I have to agree with Buz and others that govt. congressmen and women and all elected officials should play by the same rules as those they govern, not vote themselves pay raises and be insured the same as those they represent.

The OP's implication that this is exclusive to the president and his family is childish sour grapes as Mitt Romney's family would be insured just the same had he won, and members of both parties voted themselves and enjoy these unfair benefits.

The President and his family doesn't need "Obamacare". It was created for the very many without great healthcare.

Now you know what it feels like to watch FOX NEWS.

Well Doc, if you are who I think you are then you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Why don't you and your beautiful wife and your two awesome children try living on a minimum wage salary for one year.

If you haven't, you should read this award-winning story. Fine, fine, I only won a potato, but I'm sure you won't be able to peel your eyes away from it.

I hope the new government healthcare plan works out. It actually requires everyone by law to carry health insurance. If you or your employer cannot afford a better private healthcare plan then you can opt for the government plan (which will operate much like an HMO, only run by the government.) Because government has such a poor track record of running anything, I am afraid that the poor will still get substandard care, but that may be more than they are getting now. It would be awesome if it really works because the system needs major changes.

The best thing you can do for your fellow,
next to rousing his conscience, is - not to give him things
to think about, but to wake things up that are in him...
to make him think things for himself - George MacDonald

If you have employment based healthcare then nothing changes " Lord

small note, what does change is your employeer must by a basket of goods that they might not currently be buying, as to meet the minimum standard as set out by the HHR Nancy Sibelious.

to that end i have been told two things by my health care insurance provider:

1, My plan is going to have more coverage added to it
2, My plans going to cost more because of that added unwanted mandated coverage

I feel sympathy for the people in Long Island, but when they voted for Peter King they were voting for just this kind of thing. King is one of the uber=cons who have made this congress possible. He is always way out on the right wing where wanting to help people in need is communism and stirring up the most basic hateful side of people is considered just politics. As long as people vote for guys like King, this is the kind of thing they can expect.

Well Doc, I hope you learned something...

Your question was very well written, asking an honest question, leaning neither to the right or left. Yet somehow you managed to piss off a couple of the Presidents disciples and have now suffered their wrath by being; chided, called names, ridiculed, had several aspersions cast at your character and been called a "hypocrite" even though you gave no indication as to your history in the question.

Do you have the real answer you were looking for? Did you get the answer to the question under the question you asked?

In case you missed it, the answer you no-doubt have come to is; never question the President...ever...about anything.

Good question tho, four years from now when it all kicks in many here won't remember ever being for Obamacare.

BTW: my answer is that if it's good enough for the least among us it should be good for the most among us.

This was a bogus question from the start, and the OP was/is fully aware of that. Excuse us for seeing the question for what it is. Despite all of that, people still stated the obvious and presented the OP with sensible answers. Thus far, your response has been the most hostile as you're attacking pretty much everyone on this thread for having a legitimate response to this question, and making ridiculous assumptions. The general consensus is that President Obama isn't and won't be using Obamacare because it's designed for those who NEED it....and he and his family aren't lacking in health care (you know, being that he's a highly paid president of the United States and all).
