It is soooo unfair of you Freepers to lay the blame for this on the Government!

Wow. I’m sure these computers with these ailments work great with millions of other websites.

These millions of other websites must be doing something wrong .

When has any liberal ever accepted responsibility, contritely, for anything? (see my tag-line)

That would be admitting the opposite of their reason for even being a liberal.

That would be admitting that they aren’t, indeed, superior to everyone who isn’t like them.

” your spam folder for an email from us with the subject line ‘Marketplace account created,” said the a new tip page on healthcare.gov.”

HA! They are telling phising emailers what subject line to use to get people to click on a fake link! SHEESH!

This must be a claim by the Democrat court jester! How come spam filters, overflowing browser histories and web caches do NOT stop consumers from purchases from Amazon, eBay, Sears, and a myriad of commercial web sites?

How come? Why no answer? Did a cat bite your tongue?

That’s what I thought too. The Democrats and Obama are looking to see who is to blame, rather than accepting responsibility.

I always wonder why over three years wasn’t enough time to get the website up and running. Obamacare was passed in March 2010, with the big enrollment push scheduled for Oct. 2013. They knew three years ago that people would be signing up and going online in big numbers right now. Are we saying that three years wasn’t enough time for Obama and his boys to accomplish the task at hand?

If Obama wants someone to blame, isn’t the place his own administration?????

Coming soon from the MSM: The Unreported Story: How George Bush's failed policies resulted in "overflowing browser histories and web caches on the computers of innocent Americans hungering to signup for Obamacare".

Yes and yes.

Just today I received four deliveries of items purchased from all over the country, all ordered less than a week ago.
And, on average, it took less than 2 minutes, total, per web purchase order.

And, OMG! I forgot to check my caches and web history since last month!
