The White House had to defend its rollout of the President's signature health care legislation Saturday after two scathing reports that allege missteps, miscommunication and lack of leadership sank the launch of Obamacare's online exchanges.
The New York Times and the Washington Post each reported on a meeting between contractor CGI Federal and government employees at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in late August.
CGI won the main contract to build the Obamacare website, and CMS, the branch of the Department of Health and Human Services that was overseeing the launch, was growing worried the site was riddled with flaws and unprepared for day one.
The meetings were candid, but tense, according to the reports. Only five and a half weeks until the October 1 deadline, the majority of the 95 elements needed for the sites functionality were not ready, by CGI's own evaluation; later, more than a dozen that were categorized as ready failed further testing.

Isn’t it great that America now has a “government” that pushes We the People around? Elections do have consequences. Some can be fatal.
I don’t buy insurance or any other product from liars and frauds, Barry, even if you and your little servant John Roberts tell me I have to.
Keep your lies and your mark of the beast, punk.
America’s answer to Vladimir Lenin continues to press for his very own Ministry of Propaganda - the news media - to silver-coat his egregious incompetence.
For what it’s worth (i.e., not much) they seem ever so slightly unwilling to cooperate in this instance.
I don’t think propaganda can make 7 million health insurance cancellation letters disappear. Nor can it make a broken website function. It can’t make Medicaid-like “Bronze” plans look like the excellent plans so many people used to have before obamacare cancelled them. Nor can it assuage the sticker shock because the new prices are 41% higher on average than before. Nor can it make the more than doubled out-of-pocket costs simply disappear.
No, the obamacare Titantic really DID sink and the obamacare Hindenburg Zeppelin really DID crash and burn, and no amount of propaganda can change raw facts that everyone can see. I mean, really. Who you gonna believe? Obama or your lying eyes?
==============================================
OBAMA CALLS Mrs O: "Before she pocketed some of the billion dollars,
your pal shoulda told us they didn't teach web site construction at Princeton."
SECY SIBELIUS TO OBAMA: "While you're on your brand new brick
phone, Mr President, get a few more cases of these cute floppy disks
Mrs O's Princeton classmate provided."
==============================================
During the web site crisis, Mrs O displayed her usual tolerance and compassion (sob). She ordered the WH kitchen to provide the hardworking fix-it team with glass carafes of Chock-ful-of-Nuts coffee heated on bunsen burners, cans of evaporated milk, packets of aspartame, and fresh-made donuts fried in olestra.
=======================================================
healthcare.gov failures include: billion dollar pay
checks to cronies, insiders, and Mrs O's Princeton classmate.......
Toni Townes-Whitley, Senior Vice President at "CGI Federal" for
Civilian Agency programs, healthcare.gov designers is Princeton Class of
1985---same dumbed-down class as Michelle Obama. Both are members of
the racial separatist organization----Association of Black Princeton Alumni.
" At Princeton, Michele and I took intellectually challenging courses like
Black Is Beautiful, How To Intimidate Employers with The Civil Rights Act,
Getting Ahead Using Your Skin Color, with graduate studies in Pay-Me-I'm-
A-Victim methodologies.
Shhh! Don’t call it Obamacare!
Shhh! Don’t call it a tax!
Shhh! Don’t call the “glitches” glitches—they are just developmental issues that are being resolved.
Shhh! Don’t answer the questions about Benghazi! Just ignore, ignore, ignore.
Shhh! Don’t divulge the truth about “Fast and Furious”! Just ignore, ignore, ignore.
Shhh! Don’t provide a real birth certificate, a genuine Social Security number, a real college transcript, any cases worked on when working as a lawyer in Chicago...ignore, ignore, ignore.
Shhh! Call the Tea Party movement “astroturf” and make fun of em, ostracize em and unfairly audit em. Finally, ignore, ignore, ignore.
So, we end up where we are today, where finally He and his peeps ignore, ignore, ignore the American Constitution. We can’t say we didn’t know this was coming.

Another for your list: Those aren’t “cancellation notices” health-insurance companies are sending out, thay are “renewal notices.” (Sheila Jackson Lee, ISTR, submitted a bill “Truth in Insurance” or some equally Orwellian name to REQUIRE ins. companies call them that.)
