Sebelius: Obama didn't know about tech issues
Dylan Stableford, Yahoo News By Dylan Stableford, Yahoo News 1 hour ago
The woman at the center of the firestorm surrounding the tech-plagued launch of the Obamacare website says President Barack Obama was not informed of potential red flags until it went live.
In an interview with CNN's Sanjay Gupta on Tuesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the president was told of problems with the site in the "first couple of days" after the Oct. 1 launch of HealthCare.gov, but not before.
"Nobody says the site is working the way we want it to," Sebelius said. "No one could be more frustrated than I am, and the president, that this isn't smooth."
Sebelius, though, defended going ahead with the launch of the Affordable Care Act portal despite concerns from health insurance companies that it wouldn't work and a failed test run in late September involving just a few hundred users.
"There are people in this country who have waited decades for affordable health coverage for themselves and their families," she said. "What's clear is we have a product. The product really works. We have created a market where there wasn't a market."
She added, "I was optimistic that things would go smoothly. I felt that the day had finally come I've done this work now for three and a half years, implementing this historic law."
The secretary blamed some on the site's problems on "extremely high" volume.
"We've had nearly 20 million people visit the website in the first three weeks," Sebelius said. "And that shows, I think, the pent-up interest that people have in affordable, available health coverage."

I thought maybe we’d have to build an ark for a flood of water.
Now i think we need one for the flood of BS coming out of DC..
Sargent Shultz syndrome.
Bovine excrament
CIG told obama it was having problems last year, I am sure his response - so what
So Sebelius is officially falling on her sword for Obama?
Guy does not seem to know about anything his administration has done - what does he do all day?
smells ... behinds?
bull obama
What did Obama not know and when did he not know it?
Obama lied, healthcare died.
That's worse than actually admitting he presided over the disaster.
What does Obama know..he doesnt know about the IRS, the NSA, the Boston Bombers, Benghazi, the list goes on and on..now he doesnt know about the bill HE created(Wait, let me rephrase that, the bill Valerie Jarrett created) what a poor little loaf, he knows nothing, nothing
He spends all day lecturing us what we have to do (based on his complete lack of knowledge).
And she’s using that as an excuse? When Bush Jr. was president, he always said “the buck stops here,” whereas Obama always claims to be a passive victim even of his own staff and his own policies. In short, Obama is not a man.
It appears she is and as the rest of his administration, she will be rewarded with his support. It is a very private, incestuous group of people who have one common goal that is more important than anything, the transformation of America.
They still are going with the “heavy volume” excuse.
This morning, about 9:50 ish, Rush was talking about comments from the democrats - attempting to blame the repubs for the O’care issues.
The moment Rush said it .. I’m jumping up and down in my livingroom again, because it’s PURE PROJECTION .. which we know is how the dems operate.
Dems blame repubs by saying: “They never wanted it to work in the first place.”
THEREFORE, as “projection” goes .. the DEMS HAVE JUST TOLD US “THEY (the dems) NEVER WANTED IT (O’care) TO WORK IN THE FIRST PLACE.”
The WHY .. was discussed yesterday .. because they really want to go to single-payer and they couldn’t figure out any other way to FOOL THE AMERICAN PUBLIC into accepting such “single payer” system.
IT’S ALL ON PURPOSE!!!!!
The dems may fool around and mess with the thing .. they may even try to tax people or levy some type of fee, or purge their tax returns, in order to collect the MONEY THEY WANT .. for god-knows whatever.
But .. when 81% of the public is not happy with the way things are going in America .. I’m not so sure there are enough gullible people left to sell single-payer to.
I guess time will tell.
It’s his “signature program”. Of course he knew the status. Sibelius is a LIAR.
Not one Republican voted for it. The Democrats own it. It’s ALL theirs.
This is Obama’s signature failure.
Democrat men hiding - yet again - behind a woman’s skirt.
