Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) said the fault of struggling to sign up on the Obamacare exchanges didnt lie with the faulty website, but with the people who werent educated on how to use the Internet.
Explaining the reasoning behind the latest Obamacare delay, Reid said too many people just didnt know to use their computer properly and needed more time. Apparently, it had nothing to do with the well-documented failings of the website that have embarrassed the White House for months.
We have hundreds of thousands of people who tried to sign up who didnt get through, he said. There are some people who are not like my grandchildren who can handle everything so easily on the Internet, and these people need a little extra time. Its not the example they gave us is a 63-year-old woman came into the store and said, I almost got it. Every time I just about got there, it would cut me off. We have a lot of people just like this through no fault of the Internet, but because people are not educated on how to use the Internet.
Its just the latest strange moment for the embattled Reid,

WOW! A ‘toon with a drool cup! I had never seen that and thought I was being original and clever.
What has he been smoking?
Unfortunately, Obama selected “people uneducated on how to use the internet” to create his ObamaCare website, then failed to monitor their work. If failure and sewerage were gold, we could call him Midas.
Oh Harry... Dementia rears its ugly head again.
I wish people like Reid would have the good grace to resign from their positions in the senate (or the house) when the calcification of their brain has progressed this far.
The man sounds like he is suffering from early stage dementia. Heck, this is maybe the sanest thing he has said in the past week or so.
The people they needed and have been frantic to sign up are the young folks between 18-30 who certainly know their way around a computer and the internet.
Dems are simply floundering around looking for excuses.
I guess dingy hairy needs to get with al gore to fix the Internet he supposedly invented. Dingy is as bad as "We have to pass it to find out what's in it" pig lousy.
The only democrats who have mental capacity to use the Internet post at DU.
Tell us how you really feel Laz.

Right. The website is a piece of crap that crashes on her and its her fault for not knowing enough about the internet (roll eyes)
***I held back a little***
Whew, thought you missed a little bit there.
You hit it! They need the young people who are savvy on computer use. As usual, Reid makes no sense. Ugh!
Gee, Harry. I thought you could enroll in ObamaCare by telephone. Is the over-sixty crowd also too dumb to dial 1-800-F*CK-YO?
I watched that press conference. The whole gang of Democrat leaders were creepy looking.
