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

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.

His narcissism just had to say something, right? Does he really think we assumed he was capable of fixing the code and we’re expecting him to do it himself (do what others have not done)? Why else does he feel the need to tell us he’d do it himself but, “I don’t write code.”

I’m sure the “tech surge” gurus from Google, RedHat, and Oracle will fix it. Because every floundering software mega project needs a few more generals with huge egos to inspire the troops!

And apparently, he isn’t a very good manager either. I guess that that pretty obvious is obvious by now.

The Royal Oaf is in New Orleans stumping for ObozoCare, amnesty, and updating the air traffic control system ... while trying to take credit for the nation's current economic boom. Meanwhile, a certain Rat senator refuses to appear in public with him ... for some completely unknown and totally mysterious reason.

It is NOT writing the CODE Dufus, its providing requirements and defining the Data Base information that will drive the process for the LAW that you had the Democrats write.

The Coders didn’t write the law, Pelosi and her minions did, and evidently Obama can’t READ or CODE, he’s useless.

A Sarah Palin said, “We know you won the election, now DO YOUR JOB”. That seems to be asking too much of the Liar in Chief.

I am no expert but don't you use a programing language now days and not do coding the old fashion way? Don't you program it then compile it to machine language so it will work faster? I suspect this is even an older method than used now but newer than what obama is referencing.

HONEST HE DID!!

Well, that's pretty much in line with what I understand about the man. But it doesn't stop there. It would seem that he never learned how to do a single productive thing in his entire life.
