At today’s press conference, Jay Carney said that President Obama will sign up for Obamacare, but he’s not sure exactly when that will occur.

Carney laughed after being asked if Obama’s sign-up process would be open press.
Here’s video of the exchange:

Jay Carney: I don't have an update. https://t.co/fL6yWnQrLq— Charlie Spiering (@charliespiering) December 2, 2013
That laugh was Carney-speak for “are you kidding me?”
What Carney didn’t say is that if Obama does plan to sign up, he’ll probably wait until his signature legislation has been tested on everybody else before risking it for himself:
Carney can't say whether people who have signed up for Obamacare will actually be covered on Jan 1. Terrific.
