Sebelius: Obamacare website problems blindsided the President
CNN ^ | 10/23/13 | Greg Botelho and Holly Yan

Posted on 10/23/2013 7:05:30 AM PDT by jimbo123

Before it even launched, red flags went up about the Obamacare website. Health insurance companies complained about it, and the site crashed during a test run. But nobody told the President of any of it, the nation's health chief told CNN.

Kathleen Sebelius said President Barack Obama didn't hear that there may be problems with the sign-up portal for his signature health care law until it went live on October 1. That's when the site nosedived into a technical abyss.

BS, Obama designed it to sink, he is like a mole under a house, the digger of sea dikes, the one opening seacocks in the boat.

Acorn is waiting to be in charge of a single payer plan right now.

Personally, I doubt he didn’t know.
I just think he didn’t care, or he honestly thought it could be spun into a positive.
Recall the spin, song and dance routines they did over Benghazi?
They thought they could sweep it under the rug or spin it as a “wrinkle” in national relations.
Once that didn’t work, they buried it, ignored it, and signalled the lapdog media to do the same.
They may try a similar tack with this.
First, downplay the events, claim Zero knew nothing, then if that doesn’t work, bury it and ignore it.

But not you, Sibelius. You knew.

You knew the Obamaware wasn’t ready.

You knew it would be impossible for people to enroll.

You knew that policies were going to be canceled upon initiation of PPACA.

You knew yet said and did nothing to prevent the situation or to warn people. You didn’t care.

You knew that huge numbers of people would unexpectedly be uninsured. You didn’t care.

This could result in people dying due to loss of insurance. But you don’t care.

It’s so much more words than on a teleprompter. It must have taken a while. I assumed his source was MSNBC.

He thinks Joe Scarborough's hot!

I would challenge that. No way Obama and his handlers didn't know this was a FUBAR. This is his "baby". To say Barack (and Valerie Jarrett) did not to know the status is ridiculous. My feeling is Obama and his handlers are so arrogant, stupid and isolated from the masses they really believe they can put a positive spin on this until everything gets fixed. The problem is they were too stupid to realize this is no easy fix.

On a personal note, I find it humorous to watch this implode. However, thousands of Americans are getting their policies cancelled and they will also need a fix for that. There is no way this well end well for them

I’m having a tough time remembering ANYTHING President Obama did that wasn’t a total mess. Even from a liberal perspective, has any of his initiatives worked well? Diplomatic efforts, military adventures, immigration “reform,” ACA, Arab Spring, etc.—all messes. I seriously want someone to point to something the president has done that succeeded other than getting elected to office.

(Some would say the messes themselves are by design, so that would mean the president is succeeding very, very well)

He's the CEO. It's HIS responsibility to find out if this, or a war, or a relief effort, or anything else is working. And it's his fault if he doesn't.
