Obamacare contractors: Don’t blame us
Politico ^ | 10/23/13 | JENNIFER HABERKORN, JASON MILLMAN and BRETT NORMAN

The Obamacare website contractors plan to tell Congress on Thursday that they are not to blame for the massive problems at HealthCare.gov and that they completed successful testing before the Oct. 1 launch.

But, according to prepared testimony, the four contractors ran into unforeseen problems once open enrollment began. The testimony offers a slight glimpse into the problems that made the website all but unworkable — and warnings that the problems are far from over.

Lawmakers are expected to press the four contractors for details on what went wrong and when they – and the White House – knew about it.

“Them Tea party Nazis was sendin’ out negative waves.” Project leader Oddball

There is no doubt that racist vibes do seem to be destroying the entire Obamacare Potemkin village.

They’re coming from within, however.

So ... they spent $600M on this, and they hired four contractors?

You can not write perfect software to solve a completely broken overall design.
Add crappy software by a crony discredited company on a no-bid contract and you have something that typifies this entire administration.
They don't care about qualifications, competence, expertise or any of those things, they only care about where the players stand politically.

"no amount of testing within reasonable time limits can adequately replicate a live environment of this nature"

Absolute garbage! What a load! If one of these contractors actually believes this when they said it they need to go in to another line of work. Embarrassing.

Oddball: Hi, man.
Big Joe: What are you doing?
Oddball: I’m drinking wine and eating cheese, and catching some rays, you know.
Big Joe: What’s happening?
Oddball: Well, the tank’s broke and they’re trying to fix it.
Big Joe: Well, then, why the hell aren’t you up there helping them?
Oddball: [chuckles] I only ride ‘em, I don’t know what makes ‘em work.
Big Joe: Christ!
Oddball: Definitely an antisocial type. Woof, woof, woof! That’s my other dog imitation.

Just sub `Barry’ for Oddball.
