Obama: I'd fix HealthCare.gov myself, "but I don't write code"
CBS News ^ | November 8, 2013 | Lindsey Boerma

Posted on 11/08/2013 12:51:16 PM PST by Zakeet

President Obama wanted to go in himself and fix glitches that have plagued HealthCare.gov since its rollout last month, he told a crowd Friday at the Port of New Orleans, "but," he added, "I don't write code."

The president couldn't ignore altogether lingering dissatisfaction with the botched health insurance exchanges, despite that the crux of the speech was intended to move back on the offensive with other aspects of his second-term agenda - specifically, job growth through investments in infrastructure and increasing U.S. exports.

I didn’t realize that I was that far behind in programing but it isn’t really programing any more I guess. These are the people that made the glitch birth certificate also.

He’s pretty effective at weakening America and our allies. Destroying jobs and business and the economy. And telling lies all day every day. Otherwise, however, he does not appear to have many job skills. Perhaps we should give thanks for that

I think it is written in Visual BS++

Take Ruby off and put Obama on Rails, so we can ride him out of town.

I’d fix the economy, but I don’t know anything about economics.

He cannot write code. None of us expect him to. A very puzzling, unnecessary statement.

The real admission here is not that he cannot write code but that he cannot lead and manage those who do. And there lies the problem.

Job growth should come from investment and innovation. Whatever happened to that? And why do politicians always focus on exports which are well under 10% of most economies, while destroying the other 90%?

The Coders didn’t write the law...

Well, you know, I was thinking about that. What we actually have here is a disastrous mess programatically that absolutely does reflect the mess that is the legislative model. All too accurately. And so now the code monkeys are under the gun, tight deadline, people pounding the drum who don't have a clue what they're really doing, with an unbreakable mandate to make the thing work, someway, somehow...

I have a hunch that if anyone looks too closely at the code they'll find out that the coders ARE writing the law as they go along. It's just about their only option. The Mountain Dew subsidies will be a dead giveaway but nobody will dare to tell them to redo it.

Not puzzling. It’s his way of saying “look, squirrel!” today.

This Obama person can’t even make sensible, interesting, adult chit-chat.

Such a sad waste of 8 years for the country.

Well.........

The CEO of a Fortune 500 company doesn't write code, either. Not knowing how to code doesn't preclude you from being a good manager, and hiring people who know how to implent a project of this scope.

However, if the CEO went against the board of directors to force the plan through (like BO did, 70% of the country didn't want Obamacare) .....

...and approved a plan to utterly reorg the entire company (like BO did when he signed the healthcare bill)...

... and hired a team of fools and incompetents to implement the project (Sebelius, etc) ....

..... and the project was an utter disaster ....

I'd expect him to be fired immediately and his head to be mounted on a pike outside the company offices as a warning to other CEOs with an excess of hubris.

When he did say "I'm really good at killing people" last week, I wasn't sure if he meant drones or Obamacare?

I'm still not sure?

I think he is closer to the death panels than the drones half a world away both geologically and bureaucratically.
