The confidence in their big-government agenda that the Obama administration daily instills in me is truly overwhelming. Via CBS News:

As HealthCare.gov was being developed, crucial tests to ensure the security and privacy of customer information fell behind schedule.
CBS News analysis found that the deadline for final security plans slipped three times from May 6 to July 16. Security assessments to be finished June 7 slid to August 16 and then August 23. The final, required top-to-bottom security tests never got done.
The House Oversight Committee released an Obama administration memo that shows four days before the launch, the government took an unusual step. It granted itself a waiver to launch the website with “a level of uncertainty … deemed as a high (security) risk.”
Agency head Marilyn Tavenner accepted the risk and “mitigation” measures like frequent testing and a dedicated security team. But three other officials signed a statement saying that “does not reduce the risk” of launching October 1.

And in a follow-up this morning, CBS reports on still more technology experts’ concerns over the lack of adequate testing of the website before its launch, and the real-time examples already cropping up even with HealthCare.Gov moving at only partially operational speed. Via the WFB:

If you like your Social Security number and bank account, you can keep it.
Kind of like launching 0’care with defective O-Rings in freezing cold weather with icicles all over the web site.
If someone else likes and uses your SSN for identity fraud, you still have to keep it. Really--the IRS is reputed to be extremely unhelpful in this regard. This, at the same time that Obamacare is making identity theft information available to every facilitator. What could go wrong?
“If you like your gun, you can keep it”
I continue to be stunned by the vigor with which the MSM is attempting to shut this puppy down on the Launchpad.
They must be soiling their BVD’s every night over polling data indicating this debacle will lead to a decade of Conservative dominance next November.
where is that ph9to from? I am going to post on facebook
I know we don’t much like facebook here but we have to stop preaching to the choir
I click on many of the news stories and share them on FB
I am getting a lot of comments from people since doing it
Ted Cruz was right. Repeat this fact every time ObamaCare is cussed and discussed by your family and friends.
I do as well!!
Of far greater significance, however, is the fact that the so-called "Affordable Care Act" is a departure from the principles underlying America's Constitutional limitations on coercive government power and should be imposed on no one--including Congressmen!
By signing such a document, are citizens saying, in effect, we accept this unconstitutional invasion of our rights as long as you Congressmen will allow it to happen to you and your families?
"...nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society." - John Adams
"...there have always been those who wish to enlarge the powers of the General Government. There is but one safe rule...confine (it) within the sphere of its appropriate duties. It has no power to raise a revenue or impose taxes except for the purposes enumerated in the Constitution....Every attempt to exercise power beyond these limits should be promptly and firmly opposed." - Andrew Jackson's Valedictory
"...experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government), those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of preventing this would be, to illuminate...the minds of the people...to give them knowledge of those facts, which history exhibiteth. History, by apprizing them of the past, will enable them to judge of the future...it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views...." - Jefferson's Bill for the more general diffusion of knowledge for Virginia
"The first grand right is that of the people having a share in their own government by their representatives chosen by themselves, and...of being ruled by laws which they themselves approve, not by edicts of men over whom they have no controul...." - John Adams
In other words: “Attention identity thieves and hackers, please raid the unsecured data at ObamaCare.gov” - why would any sane person not shut down the site and wall it off until it is secure? Why would any sane person develop daily patches for an operational website knowing that such a strategy almost guarantees unanticipated and undetected glitches and security flaws? I know why Obama and his followers are doing this, but why are sane adults permitting it?
The more they are shared the better.
The moment the first identity theft stories come rolling down the pike
, just as the other horror stories have, then all is lost.
THIS will be the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back, not cancellations, rising premiums and deductibles
Moron is an operative word but euphemistic
