".......Administration officials privately acknowledge that no argument defending Obamacare will connect with Americans until they begin to see the effects of the law at work. No work-around or temporary fix will reach enough people to build a critical mass of support. The website has to function, admit edgy aides who sometimes spit the word "website" with the contempt familiar to anyone who has ever called a tech help desk.
Obama revealed his own frustrations Thursday, saying at a White House news conference that he has an obligation to show Americans that the law has made health insurance more affordable and accessible"if we can just get the darn website working and smooth this thing out."
Officials said Friday they were making progress on the site's many glitches and bugs. It now takes less than one second, on average, to load a page, down from eight seconds in the weeks after the launch, said Jeffrey Zients, a former top administration official who was brought back to oversee the repairs........
Still, problems persist in the system that sends consumer information to insurers, and as experts have ticked off 200 software problems, more continue to pop up. Zients said the officials expect to make the Nov. 30 goal, but added: "Not all consumers going on the website will have a seamless experience."
While the tech team works, the president must convince his allies as well as his potential adversaries that, as he said Thursday, he's a clutch player who knows how to recover from a fumble......."
......But in the face of ardent Republican opposition to the lawHouse Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) on Friday repeated his hope to repeal "this train wreck" the White House has resisted any fix that puts it at the mercy of House Republicans and pushes votes on the law well into an election year.....

Amazing to hear Obama parroting the same sap-happy socialist pablum "paradise on earth" mouthed by the deranged, addlepated Rev Jim Jones.
BTW, when they found the Rev's body in his Jonestown Paradise---authorities verified his fingerprints.
B/c they were on file----for committing a lewd act in a men's rest room.
Dead cat bounce.
The Marxists didn’t hear Margaret Thatcher when she talked about running out of other people’s money. Obamacare IS the “bridge too far” and the “fools errand” (imo). (RINOs had it wrong again.) But this Obama will bounce back after screwing up 200 million health insurance polices? Riiight.
And excellent point, and our fathers and grandfathers did all that with half the population, and “paper and pencil” supply chains.
A jillion government regulations and 48 quadrillion pounds of free government cheese later and we have no one either willing or qualified to undertake such an effort should the need arise.
God Help The USA!
“....no argument defending Obamacare will connect with Americans until they begin to see the effects of the law at work.”.......
Haven't we already seen evidence that odumbocare is a cancer that will only get worse rather than better? Pretty plain to most of us I dare say. Waiting for the cancer to take most of us down will be too late for the cure. Total REPEAL is the only good, reasonable and honest option if America chooses to survive.
This notion of a POS comeback along with O care getting better recognition is the spew coming from Dem Party Central over the past two days. It is in all the dem simp columns in the papers and will I predict become a center point in the media led sunday talk shows.
What this means is we must not rest on our laurels. We must keep our boots on its throat and continue to rebel against this illegal law by any means necessary. This battle is far from done. On one side, his majesty has the entire media, demsimps, and US treasury. The other side has common sense, conservative press and few resources (as those who gain the most from the law toss their resources and support to O care for selfish reasons). So, since we are like the Spartans, we must do whatever we can to stop the Persian Horde. They did, hopefully we are up to the challenge.
The ObamaCare websites are not nearly as “glitched” as reported. It’s all just a ruse to hide the real disaster — that the higher premiums and exorbitant deductibles are driving people away in droves. No IT guy can fix that.
let them think that, people are losing their health care and doctors. there is no amount of lies and media cover up that can change the reality of what people experiencing with this abomination.
Glitch? If this is a glitch I’d hate to see what it takes to qualify as a political and economic disaster in their eyes. Calling this a glitch is like calling WW II a minor misunderstanding. Of course they have been working on this longer than we were fighting WW II.
Bump to all the outstanding comments on this thread!
He has thousands more lies to tell us.
Obama usually finds some tragedy to exploit and manages to climb on the backs of the dead and suffering to distract attention from his scandals and disasters.
They were not glitches. A glitch is when a machine stops working temporarily for unknown reasons, but starts working right again when you turn it on.
I have heard the Obama talking points several times this morning.......
“The real news is how the Republicans are attempting to gain politically while millions of Americans are suffering.”
It’s all the evil computer’s fault. Obama just has to take that wascally computer by the scruff of the neck and hold it up for everyone to see what a greedy, malicious demon it is. Then all will be well.
