The Final Countdown (no, silly, not the movie): 20 days left until The Obamacare website is "fixed"
one man's opinion...

Posted on 11/11/2013 5:08:02 AM PST by ken5050

In case you haven't noticed, including today, there are 20 days left until the clock on Obama's promise to "fix" the website runs out. What we've seen since he first promised the fix has been more hours of down time, and great problems. Therefore, I've decided to do a daily "countdown thread" for the next 19 days..so feel free to add comments, or links.


TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Politics
KEYWORDS:
We might begin today with a discussion of what the meaning if "fixed" really is.

1. Does it mean it's "fixed" if it has a 99% reliability factor, or 90%, or 80%?

2. Does it mean it's "fixed" if only those who have formally registered as "navigators" and have undergone extensive training, and a rigorous background clearance, will be able to steal your financial records, or will Nigerian hackers be able to crack the system?

3. Does it mean it's "fixed" if it works as smoothly as the Democrat machine in Chicago on Election Day?

4. Does it mean it's "fixed" if it's as effective as DHS is in keeping illegals from crossing the border?

The president customarily has a ceremony just before Thanksgiving in which he pardons a pair of turkeys. Since the Obamacare website is the biggest "turkey" out there, maybe he'll "fix" it by pardoning it..

See you all tomorrow......

On November 30, Obama is going to declare the website to be fixed, no matter what the condition. At that point, every problem or delay will be the result of an “isolated glitch” or user error.

He will tell this boldface lie and the compliant media will report it at face value. No amount of evidence to the contrary will be sufficient to get them to admit the truth.

Their god has spoken. They will not be willing or able to question the truth of this statement.

I believe it was Rush who said Obama would pronounce the website “fixed”, whether it was or not .... and since it won’t be, when the public is howling and screaming, he’ll just say “well, if you’re having website issues, it sounds like a personal problem to me!”

Might need to call in Will Pitt from DU. Is this business days? Or do we not count weekends and holidays.

You can't fix in software what's broken in design.

In case you haven't noticed, including today, there are 20 days left until the clock on Obama's promise to "fix" the website runs out.

While this disaster unfolds, no one is watching the budget deadlines that are looming:

"The narrow deal includes a stopgap measure that would fund the government through Jan. 15, and suspend the debt ceiling until Feb. 7. Congress also established a framework for formal bipartisan budget negotiations to begin. Negotiators would be tasked with reporting out by Dec. 13 recommendations for longer-term spending levels and deficit reduction."

Source: www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/10/16/government-shutdown-debt-limit-congress-deal/2993181/

And, they want an immigration reform bill before the end of the year. How is all that going to happen?

There are not many shopping days left till Christmas. And there certainly aren't many legislative days left until December 13.

Hmmm! The feral government can’t manage to cobble togther a web site that actually works, but we’re supposed to believe it can take charge of so-called “health care” for over 300,000,000 people?

The feral government must think we’re awfully stupid.

when the public is howling and screaming, he’ll just say “well, if you’re having website issues, it sounds like a personal problem to me!”

Or, "Re-boot your computer," "Apply the latest security fixes," or, "Upgrade to the latest operating system."

It’s not the Obamacare website. It’s the Obamacurse website.

If it weren't so series, it would be funny.

Nahhh, it is funny.

Obamacare adviser says healthcare website encountering new issues



==

Per FoxNews, the healthcare.gov website was down again over the weekend.

Obamacare/healthcare.gov ($600 Billion and rising) may surpass Teapot Dome as one of the biggest scandals in the history of American politics.

Congress needs to start following the money and see where it went -- and see where it is going.

Rodney Dangerfield once said "I don't want to belong to any organization that would let me join.."

One could say of Jeffrey Zients that any person who would take responsibility for fixing the website in 30 days is too stupid for the job..

Plus, mid month say this coming Friday we should be getting the sign-up numbers.

We need to hold them to that promise as well.

He already gave an apology statement. Problem resolved -- as far as he is concerned.

Now, his minions are out claiming the mean ole Republicans are the ones sabotaging the website.

Thanks for link. It was a good movie with a great soundtrack. The soundtrack was hard to find but I was able to buy the LP record many years ago (at a premium price).
