Via the questioning of Chuck Todd during Friday’s White House press briefing:
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
We’re compiling data. You can’t — you need to verify it and make it accurate. Obviously the challenges in doing that have been exacerbated by the difficulties with the website. … I suppose that somebody could provide a rough estimate, but the point is you want to get accurate information when you release it publicly. If the purpose of this line of questioning, which I know is of fierce interest to those who never wanted affordable health insurance available to the American people to begin with, is to demonstrate that those numbers are low, we concede that they will be.
Well, duh. Of course “somebody” can cobble together a “rough estimate,” but the administration will be revealing what those numbers might actually look like when they’re good and ready, thank you very much (although I might point out that today marks exactly a month since ObamaCare has been — er — technically open for business). ObamaCare can hardly afford any more poor PR at the moment, and as Carney so aptly concedes, those enrollment numbers probably aren’t anything to brag about just yet. Like in, say, Arkansas, for instance:
LITTLE ROCK — Insurance company executives told a state legislative panel Wednesday they have enrolled fewer than 170 Arkansans in health insurance plans through the Arkansas Health Insurance Marketplace.
Cal Kellogg, executive vice president and chief strategy officer of Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield, Michael Stock, president and CEO of QualChoice of Arkansas, and John Ryan, CEO of Arkansas Health & Wellness Solutions, were asked about enrollment numbers while testifying before the legislative oversight committee on the marketplace.
Four insurance carriers sell plans through the marketplace, which launched Oct. 1. The fourth is the national Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Kellogg said he has seen fewer than 100 enroll, Stock said he has seen about 50 and Ryan said he has seen fewer than 20.
you need to verify it and make it accurate..
It was the video!
Ah, who cares... He has lost the argument, the news and he can suck eggs.
“Make it accurate” = Take the actual number, add six zeros, and then release to the public.
Transparency!

Typical Obama flunkey: “Okay, sure, you pay all costs and our salaries, too, and if you don’t, we’ll sic the police on your *ss - oh, and by the way, accountability? F*ck you!”
It is inconceivable “six” is a rough estimate.
IOW - We know the numbers, but it won’t help us or hurt Israel so we ain’t talking...
I suppose that somebody could provide a rough estimate, but the point is you want to get accurate “”””
Yeah carney carney, just like you all did on the Benghazi video tape lie. And you all had to go through 12 iterations to get it (”RIGHT”)?????????
Yes it would be awesome. He’s the only only one with the guts to expose the left.
1 (800) F#C KYOU Cram it down our throats come hell or high water. VJarrett has the power and she don’t give a damn. Try to stop it. Administration flipping the public the birdie in broad daylight-open, hositle and notorious. No one does a thing? Where’s Ted when you need him?
“make it accurate”
The operative phrase for the Obama administration. They had the video story ready to go while the consulate was still burning. Accuracy is a trademark of this administration.
When nothing this administration says is accurate, who expects accuracy now???
Tell you what Carney. I can figure out my tax liability, but I cannot share it with the IRS.
Oh boy, body counts!
Of course you include all the limbs that are off. Keep in mind that at least half have been dragged off, blood trails—those count. Double that figure to be sure.
To be safe, I would have to say that every patriot in America has attempted to sign on!
Oberststandartenfuehrer Kathleen Sibelius
The ho and her little butt pirate...
Since our tax money is paying for this boondoggle, the American public has every right to know the numbers .... NOW. The Obamanites are going to throw more good money after bad trying to resurrect this thing which is so rotten to the core it’s already stinking up the neighborhood .... we should know the facts, but of course that will never happen with the likes of Obummer, Sebelius, McDonough (who now says he’s in charge and cracking the whip), Lefties in denial, and Dems in a panic, trying to cover their behinds.
If only one of these reporters would ask Carney: “Then, are we to believe that the ObamaCare program lacks the capability to know who is enrolled in it at any given time?”
The schmoe and the ho.
