f you’ve been busy trying to log on to the ObamaCare website, or stumbling around in search of the cupcake shop to which the New York health care website mistakenly directs you, let me catch you up with the latest news.
We’ll start with the embarrassment of a country that once launched a man to the moon, but now can’t even launch a website.
Now, not only must we suffer through the chaotic disruption of our entire medical system, but the launch also besmirched the stellar reputation of American technology. Oops! Make that Canadian technology.
Canadian? It turns out the perpetrator of the website fiasco is CGI Federal, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Montreal-based CGI Group. To execute its signature achievement, the Obama administration selected CGI, also known as “Conseillers en Gestion et Informatique,” for a hugely lucrative no-bid contract.
So far, CGI has garnered $687 million in American taxpayer funds, although its track record hardly inspires confidence. In September 2012, the Ontario government fired CGI and refused to pay them, after CGI for three years missed deadlines on its $46.2 million contract to build a registry of diabetes patients.
Maybe Ontario shouldn’t have hired CGI in the first place. By then CGI had already subjected Canada to a $2.7 billion gun registry scandal. Hired by the Liberal government to set up a national database of gun owners, CGI spectacularly misfired. In 2007, Canada paid CGI $10 million to terminate the contract. CGI never built the website, which prompted an investigation into corruption by Canadian Auditor General Sheila Fraser.
So how did scandal-plagued CGI wind up with the federal contract for the ObamaCare website, and for the health exchange websites of Colorado, Vermont, Hawaii, and Massachusetts?

NSA can read everyone’s email, all the world leaders cell phones, fedgov can’t make website work.
After the moon Americans used to dream of men going to Mars someday.
Now : The US is great at sending automated robots in space, but not humans anymore
“U.S. Landed Man on Moon, Can’t Launch Website”
A small step for “O” and a GIANT STEP for all of us!
It’s a GIANT step from our proud and hard-earnded exceptionalism to the Liberal realm of forced mediocrity and ineptitude.
CGI offered the best kickback deal for the Obama’s and Jarrett ?
Well, yeah, that and the owner was of Michelle’s “tribe”.
Don’t get me started on our education system, younger generations, and raping of our technology by foreigners.
Why wasn’t this project sent out for bids? There are two nations within our borders. There is the United States of America and there is Democratland. The purpose of the Democrat party is to elect thieves to office so that they can have access to public treasuries in order to loot them.
Quite clearly, they had no intention of having it actually work.
I know you're joking, but great comment. Procurement, Chicago style....
The US Government pulled together the resources of Boeing, Rockwell, Sperry, Lockheed for the moon landing.
NASA’s role seems to have been that of a project coordinator. I wasn’t there at the time of course, but it seems the Apollo program was a small group, with a lot of operating independence, tapping vast private experience and resources - with certainly very little political interference. Astronauts and their trainers in the 50’s and 60’s were experimenters, barn-stormers, and risk-takers. They would have never survived in the Federal Gov’t of today.
To compare that to the HHS’ planning of Obamacare is preposterous.
Yeah, no doubt an affirmative action graduate of Princeton like Moochie.
Free, independent, individualist, Judeo/Christian America put a man on the Moon.
The demonic army which is attempting to overthrow Free America and replace it with a state-run, communist system (with such army in charge) cannot even launch a website.
Anyone see a problem here?
Canada? Everyone knows that nothing works from Canada!!
We had a president and constitutional rights when we landed a man on the moon. No decent person would have worked on a project as evil as ObamaCare.gov, so it’s no surprise that with no leadership and no capable workers this failed.
Where did the $600,000,000 go? Obama’s friends know.
