I have nephew who develops software for material handling. If he turned out a product equivalent to this fiasco he would be out of business in a heart-beat.

The Obamacare website is the poster child for affirmative action.

Why doesn’t he just appoint whoever was in charge of the IRS attack on the Tea Party? Or the Bengazi cover up?

"Zients worked in management consulting for Mercer Management Consulting and
Bain & Company"
Zients worked for ROMNEY?

"Weve got people working overtime, 24/7, to boost capacity and address the problems," Obama said. "Experts from some of Americas top private-sector tech companies who, by the way, have seen things like this happen before, they want it to work. They're reaching out. They're offering to send help. Weve had some of the best IT talent in the entire country join the team."
Translation: We have so horribly screwed the pooch on the development and implementation of this turkey that we have cajoled a handful of companies into trying to rescue this piece of crap.

Oh, I feel so much better now that an OMB guy is now going to fix Healthcare.gov!!
The budget and spending have been managed so well that he’ll have this problem licked in no time!

The White House has tabbed former acting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Jeff Zients to work with the team overseeing repairs to the ObamaCare website. Issa investigating OMB over ObamaCare site "Republican members of the House Oversight Committee on Monday sent a letter to two Obama administration officials demanding information on a feature of the ObamaCare online healthcare portal they say was implemented to mask the sticker shock of insurance premiums, and which they say is to blame for the websites poor performance.
In a letter to two top technology officers at the Office of Management and Budget, Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) accused the administration of making the political decision to hide the costs of insurance premiums online, which he says contributed to the botched website development......"

Maybe, but I don’t think Bain has been all Romney all the time.

“Zients had also served on the boards of Revolution Health Group”
Revolution Health Group is a United States-based corporation founded in July 2005 by Steve Case, who previously co-founded America Online. Revolution Healths stated mission is to change healthcare by giving people the tools, information and support to manage their health and wellness actively.
The company portal launched on January 20, 2007, using Ruby on Rails technology.
On October 25, 2007, the company dismissed 60 employees, or a quarter of its work-force, ostensibly as part of a restructuring.
On May 23, 2008, RHG terminated its employer business unit and business to business unit as well as laying off an additional 50 people.

Don’t let facts get in the way of painting your political opponents with their own brush!

Under his direction, the administration in 2010 temporarily halted $3 billion in technology projects in an attempt to reduce costs and improve technology functionality.Wonder how long the temporary halt lasted while the attempt was made?
Sounds like it bombed, given the lack of detail. Which projects and what were the results?
To: Cincinatus' Wife
One thing that we FReepers can be be comfortable with is that there is no, none, zero, zilch, nada cronyism in this White Hut.

I predict within 6 months the site will be re-built, almost from scratch, and it will be nearly fully-functional (or, close enough to lie about with a straight face). The unions will be given whatever they want in order to assure their arm-twisting will be out in full force for next year’s election. This battle is by no means done yet
