Double quotes don't prevent variables from being expanded locally. So the remote host sees "ITSME=itsyou; echo itsme" in the first case.
So the two statements: ITSME=itsyou & echo $ITSME are both executed on remote host. But in the case of double quotes, variable will be evaluated first so the argument passed to ssh is actually ITSME=itsyou; echo itsme. While in the case of single quotes, no special characters survive. The argument passed to ssh is ITSME=itsyou; echo $ITSME. Understood, this is really an issue of command-line processing.
