Obama: 'No excuse' for health care signup problems

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Monday said there was "no excuse" for the cascade of computer problems that have marred the rollout of key elements in his health care law, but declared he was confident the administration would be able to fix the issues.

"There's no sugarcoating it," Obama said. "Nobody is more frustrated than I am."

The president said his administration was doing "everything we can possibly do" to get the federally run websites up and running. And he guaranteed that everyone who wants to get insurance through the new health care exchanges will be able to.

Obama's event in the White House Rose Garden had the feeling of a health care pep rally, with guests in the Rose Garden applauding as Obama ticked through what the White House sees as benefits of the law. The president was introduced by a woman who had successfully managed to sign up for health insurance through the marketplaces in her home state of Delaware.

The president insisted that his health care law is about more than just a website.

"The essence of the law, the health insurance that's available to people, is working just fine," he said.

Is it okay to say.....GREAT!

Maybe he'll blow some kind of gasket and be deemed really, really, really unfit for office.

We already know he is unfit...it just needs to be certified.

So, we get Biden. I would be hopeful that the Republican Party could roll him. Hopeful, not sure, just hopeful.

A half billion dollars to create a website that sells a simple product like insurance.

JimRob could do it while whistling Dixie backwards with one hand tied behind his back...so could his son...

A half billion dollars...

Better yet, when do people start suing the IRS for taxing them for not having a product that they are no longer able to buy.

When do states begin to file insurance fraud charges against the federal “exchange” via their separate departments of insurance?

Make popcorn. This could be fun to watch. All it takes is one state insurance commissioner with a pair between his legs and a measure of political ambition.

Everytime I hear “no excuses” from this crowd I understand it means “no consequences”.

Libs are going into full “the GOP sabotaged the site” mode. Expect MSNBC to start suggesting that, too.

no excuse?

okay what is the penalty? does the government get our money back? does Obama step down in shame?

of course not. There is absolutely nothing going to happen because of this massive failure.
