When the news broke last night that he was leaving, I figured he’d been pushed out as a sacrificial lamb in lieu of firing someone more important like Sebelius or Marilyn Tavenner. After reading this, I wonder if I’ve got it all wrong. Was he pushed out or did he resign in protest because they insisted on launching a site that he knew wasn’t secure?

When asked whether he jumped or was pushed, HHS said simply that “Tony [Trenkle] made a decision that he was going to move to the private sector.” Memo to Darrell Issa: Subpoena this man.

Of course there is inadequate security on the site. It’s a government website for haeven’s sake.

We have seen government sites hacked by everyone and their brother.

The guy in Russia.
The army homosexual.
The Anonymous group.

And all the other ones that were not made public

This is similar to management at Morton Thiokol overruling the engineers warnings the the o-rings would likely fail, due to low temperatures, on the Challenger space craft.

Sad thing is Obamacare will far more people than the Challenger disaster.

Now we have a flurry of activity from people unrelated to the original project in on the “fix”

Yeah, fix it like the cat.
