You should do some fact checking.

According to what I see, neither Obama or Lawmakers are exempt. There were rumors of "secret talks" to get an exemption but according to factcheck.org those rumors go all the way back to 2010 with out basis.

The article on factcheck is from 2013 so I guess it is possible that it changed since then but I really don't think so.

Congress and an Exemption from ‘Obamacare’?

Quote:
Q: Is it true that there are bills in Congress that would exempt members and their staffs and families from buying into ?Obamacare??

A: No. Congress members and staffers will be required to buy insurance through the exchanges on Jan. 1.

Several readers have asked us about Congress attempting to exempt itself from the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. A few said that a Facebook post claimed that President Barack Obama, Sen. Harry Reid and Democrats in Congress were trying to ?get themselves exempted from Obamacare,? in the words of one reader.
But there is no bill in Congress calling for an exemption from the health care law. In fact, members of Congress and their staffs face additional requirements that most Americans don?t have to meet.
