Obama would rather default on the debt than enroll himself in Obamacare

America, your president wants nothing to do with his own signature legislative achievement.

We can't have the Obamas enrolling in Obamacare! That's racist, or something.

Oh, about those "subsidies." The text of Obama's Affordable Care Act explicitly prohibits them. It does. You could look it up.

But our Washington panjandrums didn't like the idea of paying for their own health insurance, even as they plotted to make us pay for ours. So Obama issued a dead-of-night Executive Order authorizing the Office of Personnel Management to ignore the law.

That's what Obama is going to the mattresses to protect. He can surely afford to pay for his own health insurance. The law he championed and signed with fanfare requires him to sign up with the insurance exchanges and pay for his own health insurance. But like a spoiled child, he doesn't want to buy and pay for his own health insurance.

And so he demonizes Republicans for daring to expose his mendacity.

That's really Obama's only goal here. To make Republicans look bad ahead of the 2014 midterm elections. And of course his lapdog media is cheering him on.

A wise man once said, sunshine is the best disinfectant. Well then, here's a little sunshine.

"Unless we raise the debt ceiling, we will default." A lie. The government takes in 10 times more money than is necessary to pay the interest on the debt. We default only if the Treasury Department forces one.

Would Obama force a default? Is the Pope Catholic?

Oh, but he has a good reason. He's protecting his Obamacare exemption. Taking America down the tubes? That's just icing on his cake.
