Carney: 'We did not anticipate the scale of problems'
The Hill ^ | October 23, 2013 | Justin Sink

Posted on 10/23/2013 10:56:09 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

White House press secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday that there was "no question we did not anticipate the scale of problems" with the ObamaCare website, following an admission by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that President Obama was unaware of the technical problems HealthCare.gov would face upon its debut.

"While we knew there would be some glitches and actually said publicly there could be some problems, we did not know until the problems manifested themselves after the launch they would be as significant as they turned out to be," Carney said.

The White House press secretary admitted that administration officials "did not expect the scale of problems that we have seen."

Carney added that they were "extremely unfortunate and we take responsibility for them."

Problem will be no doctors and no hospitals will take the crapola. How many will die because of this debacle? Bengahazi blood on their hands and now this. Never Again? How about now?

Can’t manage a website, but qualified to manage nationwide health care system.

And they OWN it.

They cannot change the narrative.

Blaming others for one’s own actions or inactions is a direct indicator of someone who refuses to take responsibility for their own actions or lack of actions.

Two year old children often behave that way: Barry, Holder, Reid, Pelosi, Mrs. Bill Clinton, McCain - - - did I leave anybody out?

This cannot be true. You don’t throw hundreds of millions into something you think will be easy and simple

Either this Admin is completely and totally clueless when it comes to any sort of policy execution

As usual...it is Obama who is to blame.

He is totally inept at working with a group of people in order to problem-solve. His leadership skills consist of standing at a podium.

He should have been in touch with what was happening with the roll-out at every stage. I'm sure he was aware of it and probably tried to pass it to someone else to handle because he couldn't be bothered.

Total, MASSIVE mishandling of taxpayer funds.

They said there could be some problems with this? I mean, before they went live? When was that?

They just didn’t give a rat’s rear end if it helped “the uninsured” that so desperately needed their intervention (oh, it’s all we’ve been berated about all these years - us evil, greedy conservatives). Obamacare is a blatant power grab and that’s all they could see and “care” about.

"no question we did not anticipate the scale of problems"

In other words "We absolutely anticipated the scale of the problems." It's not a glitch, it's a feature.

Yes, it was never about the uninsured. You don’t need to destroy the entire healthcare and healthcare insurance system because a small percentage of people needed some help.

It was always about power.

B.S. ,!! Stop accepting this talking point!

The issue is the people aren’t buying what they are selling. They have abandoned the site and the DEMS know there will be a mass-scale lack of compliance with the law. So the DEMS use the site as an excuse, act frustrated, and are starting to sound strangely reasonable about a delay in the mandate.

“These aren’t “glitches” and “problems” - it is an absolute, systemic failure.”

According to McAfee, there are bugs that can’t be fixed and the way it’s set up will lead to identity theft.

Obama wants credit for everything, we should call his insurance scam program ObaMalware.

I recommend that you continue looking at the picture. It will come to you.

“no question we did not anticipate the scale of problems”

How long before they come out with the notion of, “The Tea Party hacked the web site and sabotaged it.” Any bets?
