(Reuters) - President Barack Obama blamed Republicans on Tuesday for contributing to the troubled rollout of his signature healthcare insurance plan and said it will be hard to "rebrand" Obamacare after his administration fixes a website used to sign up for the program.
"We should have anticipated that that would create a rockier rollout," Obama told a Wall Street Journal conference.
"One of the problems we've had is one side of Capitol Hill is invested in failure," Obama said.
Obama said he thinks the website will be fixed on time for people to "catch up" and shop for insurance by key deadlines, which fall in December and March.
A key concern for the program's success is attracting enough young and healthy people - who often go without health insurance - to balance out the costs of providing insurance to older and sicker people, Obama said.
"We're going to have obviously remarket and rebrand, and that will be challenging in this political environment," Obama said.

Hard because you can’t stick a bumper sticker to a wet turd.
"The president's specific words: I'm “really good at killing people,” authors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann write....."
What? He doesn't think it wise to rebrand it as
OBAMA-DON'T-CARE?!!!!
Yo, Barak, if you will recall, you and your party
rammed this down the throat of the other half of
the congress, it’s ALL yours. You and your party
built it and now that it’s a failure you want to
say it was somebody else?
Git yo sorry lying ass out of here.
Obama struggles with the complexity of deceit.
The Edsel suffered from a similar “branding” issue. It’s hard to build brand value for a turd.
“Remarket and Rebrand?”
Let’s Reject and Repeal.
>> said it will be hard to “rebrand” Obamacare
He’d love to rebrand it “Bushcare” but that’s a high hill to climb.
Obama you are the failure, everything you touch fails.
Your Obamacare website is an embarrassment as is your administration. So just STFU and resign.
You loved the branding of Obamacare once upon a time.
What a POS.
It would be easier for him to “rebrand” the 1970s Ford Pinto.
It’s never his fault.
Everything Obama builds is on a foundation of lies, lies and more damn lies.
A lot of people are going to be seriously hurt by the law and they won’t forget at the polls. Even if it is repealed the damage has been done. There will be a few winners..and RATS will keep shouting about them, but many more will pay more and get less..or not be able to afford anything. Next year when the employer plan cancelations hit..will be even worse. There is not a good solution.
The Edsel worked. You could start the car and drive it down the highway. 0bamacare is not even close to being as successful as the Edsel was.
.... Wait till the Prez finds out that there is more to running a trillion dollar business than just setting up a web-site! .... Uh ... of course nobody has informed him of that yet.
