Sebelius suggests Republicans to blame for ObamaCare website woes

Published October 26, 2013 FoxNews.com

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius took a swipe Friday at those calling for her to resign over the botched ObamaCare website rollout, suggesting that Republican efforts to delay and defund the law contributed to HealthCare.gov's glitch-ridden debut.

During a visit to a community health center in Austin, Sebelius conceded that there wasn't enough testing done on the website, but added that her department had little flexibility to postpone the launch against the backdrop of Washington's unforgiving politics.

"In an ideal world there would have been a lot more testing, but we did not have the luxury of that. And the law said the go-time was Oct. 1," she said. "And frankly, a political atmosphere where the majority party, at least in the House, was determined to stop this anyway they possibly could ... was not an ideal atmosphere."

Sebelius said her agency tested the site using five times the maximum traffic ever experienced by Medicare.gov, a similar site. But she said that was a gross underestimate of the demand placed on HealthCare.gov. She also said the high volume not only contributed to its failure, but also exposed other problems.

Not ONE Republican of any kind voted for Obamacare. This has to be pounded home until EVERY American knows it. NOT ONE! It is the Democrats baby, completely.

The Marxists do this because time after time it works. 45% of the country has been conditioned to accept that any problem is the result of the Republicans. Talk to a liberal and you’ll see that EVERY argument they employ takes the same tack.

You know? I’m guessing that the website, woefully prepared and ineptly constructed as it is, ran into problems in the database cross-check functions with the agencies that handle all the TANF, SNAP, Section 8, WICs leeches.

So many of these people were likely applying for their “free” healthcare that these coordinate sites weren’t able to handle the traffic. You see, they aren’t actually used to, nor set up for, OUTBOUND data; they only are set up for inputting Names and Addresses of where to mail the frigging checks to.

Just like a bunch of bratty spoiled children, the libs will blame everyone but themselves. It is time the old guard republicans start calling them out or suffer the consequences of inaction.

Last evening my wife and I were having dinner in a nice restaurant. I overheard two women, who seemed to be in their late 70s or early 80s, discussing Obama. One of them remarked how terrible the Republicans treat him. She said, and the other agreed, that he “tries so hard” to do good for everyone but the Republicans do nothing but fight him and block him in everything he wants to do. They agreed that the only solution was to vote in Democrats to the House and take it over in 2014. Luckily I was just about finished my meal when this conversation occurred but I lost my appetite for dessert... I really believe this is the majority thinking (thanks to our bias media)right now.

Again. Just when I get to the point where I believe she is more arrogant than ignorant, she says something like this!

The whole bunch of them needs to be dropped in the ocean.

It’s just a suggestion, until the brain washing media takes it and runs with it.

...sure Sebelius...you don’t know how many people signed up, but you have clear and convincing evidence that the Republican House members caused all the problems only a week after the gubmint was restarted. I believe you.

Ted Cruz is to blame for being able to wipe out 3 years of her work in 16 days? The “it is never my fault” crowd needs to get through puberty before being allowed to be in charge of anything.

Ted Cruz: The Most Powerful Mind in America

According to the DC lemmings, he single-handedly stopped Obama and all the geniuses he has employed to take over health care. We definitely need a man like Sen. Cruz to run this government.

Ted! Ted! He’s our man! If he can’t do it, NOBODY can!

Team Obama never accept responsibility and always pass the buck.

They are just like a bunch of petulent little kids who get caught in the act and blame anyone or anything else.
