No more Ramadan and Kwanza cards for him from the White House.

After they fire the mean people who made this fine government program suck, they should fire the mean people who make government suck every day.

Actually, ObamaCare roll out is just as intended.

No way does anyone in the Administration or the Democrat party want anyone to figure out what obamacare is all about until the Republicans roll over and fund it

I have to respectfully disagree. The Obamacare roll-out is not what they expected; You cannot discount incompetence — their hubris knows no limit.

They were warned repeatedly that the system was flawed and had not been adequately tested. They were advised to postpone the website launch until it worked properly.

They ignored the advice because they knew that public sentiment was turning against them at a rapid pace. They had to get enrollments going, no matter what.

They knew that, as with any “entitlement” program, once people were enrolled, there’s no turning back.

I don’t believe they thought it would be as big a train wreck as it is. with all the negative experiences coming to light, no one in their right mind wants to go near the exchanges.

“They knew that, as with any “entitlement” program, once people were enrolled, there’s no turning back.”

You got that right! I do not think they planned this fiasco, they just let politics dictate. They had no idea how incompetent they are! ; )

The system is so messed up the insurance companies cannot tell who is enrolled or not. If the insurance company does not know if your are enrolled or not, you are not enrolled. Thanks to the portal called Obamacare — the gateway to nowhere but increased costs, copays, and deductibles.

Why would Robert “Bozo” Gibbs suddenly start telling the truth? Oh, yeah. I forgot. He’s not receiving a salary to lie anymore.

Well, duh!!! You put a political hack with a degree in basket weaving in charge of a highly complex technological operation (like having a plumber do your brain surgery), and what do you expect?

So now all the pointy fingers will come out, and we’ll see who gets the axe first.

Obama is a complete idiot. ObamaCare will be his legacy all right - like a millstone around his neck.
