"Just fix it."
That's the boiled-down message coming from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday, as Democrats are scrambling to put out the wildfire of criticism and attention aimed at the botched rollout of ObamaCare's federal insurance website.
In a press briefing where reporters asked about no other topic, Pelosi acknowledged that the problems dogging users trying to enroll in insurance plans on the HealthCare.gov website are "beyond glitches." But the trouble, she quickly added, "does not take away from the fact that we're on a path" toward installing the many benefits under the law.
"The situation right now is unacceptable, it's unfortunate," she said at a news conference in the Capitol. "But we did not work very hard and dedicate our public service to a website. It was to an initiative for affordable, quality healthcare for all Americans.
"Just fix it, so we can go forward," she added. "Fix the technology and let's not get too bogged down in what happens if they're not able to fix it."

Remarks by the President Before Meeting with Cabinet Members
Cabinet Room11:17 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Well, obviously were missing a few members of our Cabinet here today. In particular, John Kerry is overseas meeting on a topic that weve been spending a lot of time on over the last several weeks -- the situation in Syria and how we can make sure that chemical weapons are not used against innocent people.
I am hopeful that the discussions that Secretary Kerry had with Foreign Minister Lavrov as well as some of the other players in this can yield a concrete result. And I know that he is going to be working very hard over the next several days to see what the possibilities are there.
But even as we have been spending a lot of time on the Syria issue and making sure that international attention is focused on the horrible tragedy that occurred there, it is still important to recognize that weve got a lot more stuff to do here in this government.
The American people are still interested in making sure that our kids are getting the kind of education they deserve; that were putting people back to work; that we are dealing properly with a federal budget; that bills are getting paid on time; that the full faith and credit of the United States is preserved; and that the federal government itself is, in every single agency, running the way it should and making sure that our constituents and the American people are getting a good deal.
So were going to spend some time here today talking about all the efforts that have been made by many of these Cabinet secretaries to streamline operations, to cut out waste, to improve performance, to improve customer satisfaction. Were going to focus on some specific issues, including managing some of the budget debates that are going to be taking place over the next several weeks.
Were going to be talking about the rollout of the Affordable Care Act, where weve seen some tremendous progress over the last several months and are confident that starting at the beginning of next month, people are going to be able to start signing up for health care -- in many cases, for the first time. And were going to spend some time talking about issues like comprehensive immigration reform that are still of enormous importance to ensure that America grows.
So I appreciate all the great work that people have done. Some of the Cabinet members here are still relatively new, but thanks to their confirmations and the great teams they put around them, I know that theyre hitting the ground running.
Thank you very much, everybody.

Somebody should ask Obama EXACTLY what was discussed about the ObamaCare roll-out during this Cabinet meeting last month, and why he's frustrated and surprised about it now? What did Secretary Sebelius say to him then? Did she mislead the President in front of all the other Cabinet Secretaries? What does Obama plan to do about it now that he knows that he and his Cabinet were lied to by one of his Secretaries?

Too bad Pelosi didn’t accept the appointment to head up GM! We’d have to buy a car to find out if it starts.
Does she know what’s in it, yet?
Let’s do a full compromise with Obama. Let’s agree to immigration reforms as long as the process to come here uses the same database for Obamacare to gain entry to the country? Fees paid thru the same as well.
We have to repeal it so we can see how screwed up it was.
Why did they go live when the software failed with only a few hundred users during testing?
HA! That’s perfect!
I was listening to Rush and, at the commercial, our local news had a tidbit about the news coming up:
“Democrats afraid Obamacare will keep them from being reelected.”
Wow, is that a surprise! I guess Liberalism is truly a mental disease when, for five seconds, RATs have a sane moment of reality.
90% of the news these days is the failure of 0bamaCare.
I’m just having such a good time!
I guess Eyeballs should have read the debacle before she shoved it up our rears.
How many will die because of this debacle???? No one is talking about that.
“Fix the technology and let’s not get too bogged down in what happens if they’re not able to fix it.”
Ah, this woman is truly the stupidest thing ever to have walked the earth.
If they’re not able to “fix it”, you stupid b!tch, how in the hell are people supposed to sign up for it?!?
Forgive the language, but the sheer breadth and depth of her stupidity is simply incredible.
Maybe oBammy can hire a web czar. /snort
The computer systems to manage the administrative only function of human healthcare is in no way an objective you should undertake just because we used databases in gleaning voters for you which didn't exist in the last two elections. Campaigning computer programs are in no way to be considered for a national healthcare plan, or dare I say the delivery of such healthcare. The results would be disasterous.
Respectfully Submitted, John MaCafee
LOL!
Nancy is so funny.
I’d like to see somebody put Pelosi in row boat. Toe her out to the middle of the pacific. Drill a 1” hole in the bottom of the boat and leave her there with this advice, “Nancy, just fix it.”
90% of the news these days is the failure of 0bamaCare.
They are gonna spin that line for the next two or three weeks, until they get their first status update from the Technology A-Team.
Then it’s gonna be PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC!!!!!!
