A curious incident did not happen at the White House
In the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story, Silver Blaze, the incomparable Sherlock Holmes once solved a crime and a murder by noticing what did not happen.
Gregory (Scotland Yard detective): "Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"
Holmes: "To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."
Gregory: "The dog did nothing in the night-time."
Holmes: "That was the curious incident."
Several astute reporters at the April Fool's Day press conference celebrating the latest sort of Obamacare deadline also noticed a curious incident that did not happen.
Mark Knoller tweeted:
Pres Obama did not mention HHS Secy Sebelius in his health care remarks. Did not have her stand by his side during his remarks.

Fox News asked, "Did Obama Snub Sebelius During White House Speech"?
BuzzFeed's Evan McMorris-Santoro observed :
on the way out, an unnamed grizzled vet of WH press corps told me lack of Sebelius mention was “biggest news” from Obama’s speech

Will Sebelius shortly go "under the bus"? Perhaps the most transparent administration in US history and/or a Saturday Night Live sketch will keep us informed. Til then, 7,000,000 have Obamacare if government figures are to be believed; that means 45,000,000 are still uninsured.
