Yes it is a joke. Obozo cannot legally change even a comma in any law and yet he makes huge changes whenever he wants to.

What the hell is this, a joke? Boehner said at his weekly press conference.
He was responding to the administrations announcement on Tuesday evening that people who had begun the process of signing up for insurance through the federal exchanges would have until mid-April to do so, instead of March 31.
The Speaker called the move another deadline made meaningless, adding it to a litany of unilateral changes that the administration has made to the law.
This is part of a long-term pattern of this administration manipulating the law for its own convenience, Boehner said. Its not hard to understand why the American people question this administrations commitment to the rule of law.
The Speaker mocked the use of the honor system to determine who was eligible for an extension after the administration said it would make no effort to ensure that people had actually begun the process of signing up by March 31.
The dates are the dates, and the law is the law, he said. The president doesnt have the authority to change the law whenever he wants, which he continues to do.
Boehner added later in the press conference: The law says that enrollment stops at the end of March. Thats what the law says. Ive got to live by the law; youve got to live by the law; the American people have got to live by the law. And guess what? The president needs to live by the law as well.
