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

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.

Nobody told him anything

Nobody has included Obama in anything since he pulled the trigger on Bin Laden.

Actually it was clear to me from his little Rose Garden appearance that he doesn’t understand jack about what is going on. Just delegates it to his minions and assumes he can always bail them out with his magical tongue.

Ha ha ha ha... So our Fearless Leader never asked? Never asked for a briefing, a demonstration, a status report on his “signature achievement”?
Leadership is either there or it isn’t. Community organization isn’t any help at all.

Hey Sebelius! You have been made the defacto spokesperson for a FAILED POLICY ... and the reports that you provide to us today really require the willing suspension of disbelief.

“If I were the President and had been truly blindsided this badly ... heads would be rolling out of DC like bowling balls?

Nope his minions are a reflection of him, Obongo and his Puppet Masters put them in their positions. If he admits they are incompetent so is he. A narcissist like him will never do the right thing if it negatively reflects on them.

You are probably right. There is probably a deal in it for them, such as, if they don’t have X # of people sign up, or their profits for the first year are below a certain # or measurement, they will get some “grants” or something so that they are not harmed.

Sounds like Reagan was more in touch with things in his 2nd term then Obama. Yet the media makes nasty jokes about Reagan and praises Obama’s blatant ineptness.

How can you blindside the blind? How can you teach the ignorant?

We must demand Congressional hearings NOW for the $6 million dollars paid to a company to create a non-fuctioning website.

Heads should roll and Dems made to pay for this. And we want our money back!

Right. A $600,000,000 blindside.

The only way that could be true is if he were a strutting totalitarian psychopath who everyone yessed to death out of fear.
So either Sebelius is lying, or Obama is completely out of touch with any shred of reality.

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

They couldn’t even get him to sit through his Daily Intelligence Briefings. You think there’s any shot they could get him to sit through a software project development meeting?

Not with Sportscenter calling.

It was never supposed to work. It was rolled out just to destroy the system.
There was little or no major media /Radio campaign to sell it.
The web site was full of flaws and launched anyway.

All is going to plan. The system is crumbling.
