Obama Faces Democrat Defections if Website Fixes Fail

Democratic leaders have given the White House space to work out the problems with the Obamacare website, but if it isn’t right this time around, vulnerable Senate Democrats could distance themselves even more from the law they voted to pass. …

Earlier this month, 39 Democrats joined ranks with Republicans to vote for a bill allowing people to remain on their current health insurance plans, and are signaling they’re ready to make a stronger push about the bill should the site still not work correctly after Sunday’s deadline comes and goes, said The National Journal.

But with Obama’s poll numbers at record lows and Americans are saying he’s “untrustworthy,” another failed Obamacare website rollout could slash his ratings even more, and with public approval of Obamacare also waning, Democrats are scrambling to show their constituents that they are trying to fix the problems. …

The WEBSITE is not the f-ing problem. How IGNORANT does one have to be to be a SOCIALIST DEMOCRAT.

It's not about the website.

The entire program is flawed.

Don't let them make it about the website.

!!

A computer fix to determine the future of our country??

They continue to try figure out how to do the wrong thing by "fixing" it the right way. Is there such a thing? Is there a “right way” to commit murder or theft? I suppose if you accept that murder or theft is right, then I guess you could go about trying to figure out the “right” way to do it. But ultimately, just like there’s no right way to commit murder or theft, so there’s no right way to implement the unconstitutional, immoral, and unjust Obamacare.

Define works.

“Works” has a very broad meaning and the Obama administration, with what little credibility they have to lose, will claim that it works in spite of the issues.

Questions:

1. Does it allow a user to get complete and accurate stats on the plans. Something you can bank on. Or does it present a broad general list of possibilities and promises?

2. Are all security risks addressed with absolutely no risk of hackers getting personal information.

The Dems aren’t going to comply with that notion, evidently. And the GOP-e will certainly be helping them, with crossed fingers behind their backs.

Same MO The whole birth certificate thing is a WH driven rouse because Obama surrendered his US citizenship to attend school in Indonesia and never re-applied to be even a US citizen, never mind natural born citizen.

Deadlines are for the productive side of society.

Now we’ll hear how its critical that it works by the 23rd, so that the uninsured can be covered by Jan 1st.

Anyone paying out of pocket for their own coverage has already decided what they’re doing. The very nature of people who have money to spend and protect means we don’t wait til the last minute for something so important.

BS. O could shoot puppies live on TV and the Dems would defend it as “compassionate canine care.”

I agree that the GOP has been chasing a wild goose about the website. The real issue is that the law itself is evil.

But it aggravates me equally to talk about democrat “defections.” What, are a buch of liberal democrats suddenly going to become conservative republicans and vote to undo socialism? Sure they are. When the monkeys fly out my butt.

Screw the web site. That's nothing but a little glitch compared to the massive problems ahead for this country. It's not the site - it's the entire frigging law!

Once the web site does work, people are going to be horrified by the amount of their new premiums. And the deductable is so high, they'll be paying for most (if not all) of their health care out of their own pockets on top of the tens of thousands they're going to have to pay for a policy.

you beat me....

The problem right now is that we're over health cared...The silver sneakers thing for one (and I'm on SS and Medicare). People have to drive, park and walk....jump up and down a bit...and go home. Go outside and take a walk....If you don't feel safe...go to a mall and walk your butt off.

I now see people saying....scr** this pill....

Beg to differ. A minor child cannot surrender his US citizenship, nor can his parents do it for him.

Even as he became, by Indonesian law, an Indonesian citizen, Obama nonetheless remained a US citizen. Only he could renounce his US citizenship -- upon reaching his majority.

What the Dummies can’t seem to wrap their tiny minds around is the fact that, even if the web-site works like a silk scarf through a gold ring, it doesn’t make any difference:
The dogs don’t like the food.
