In the September 2013 email to Todd Park, the former Chief Technology Officer of the U.S., Snyder characterized her then-boss, CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner, as a temper tantrum-throwing, demanding official who vowed the website would launch on time "no matter what."

Considering the fact that Rahm Emmanuel, as White House Chief of Staff, roamed around the locker room of the Congressional fitness club, naked, confronting and yelling threats at any Democrats that were thinking of straying from Obamacare as soon as they got out of the shower, makes this breaking news, not that big a deal...

Seems like I remember a similar requirement for the Challenger Space shuttle. ( the one that blew up because it was too cold)

Similar outcome.

Either way, Tevener should not have the position she has.

Obama was more concerned with his political viability than with taking care to ensure the Obamacare rollout worked well.

We know how both fared...
