CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer said the White House should take Republicans’ suggestion and delay Obamacare due to the poor performance of the websites that are facilitating it. “If they weren’t fully ready, they should accept the advice that a lot of Republicans are giving them — delay it another year, get it ready, and make sure it works,” Blitzer said Wednesday.
“They know how to do it, but if they didn’t get it ready on time, then maybe fix the problem and make sure people don’t have to worry about it,” he added.
Since the online exchanges launched last week, users across the country have complained about the website’s glitches. The Obama administration says it does not know how many people have enrolled in a new plan through the exchanges.

I guess that’s what happens when you design a software based on an ideology rather than specs...
Woah, almost spit out my coffee.
I would guess there were competent software developers and project managers involved, but they got overruled and micro-managed from HHS.
Wolf may be putting up a trial balloon for the administation. He works for them.
They (Elitists on the left) are starting to see the pain put upon the nation... the division, the bickering, the fiscal ruin of Obamacare, the list goes on and now with many polls showing even blame in which the Dems did not bank on they r wondering how much worse is this thing going to get? MUCH!
I’m sure that’s what happened. It’s sort of an information age version of living under Stalin (who used to overrule his knowledgeable people and then kill them if they continued to oppose him).
HAHA, Obama is getting a real fight on this now.
When even Wooofie turns on him.
Wow. They must be getting some nasty feedback from their viewers.
It’s all moving too slow for me, but it sure looks like it’s cracking.
I like that. Easy to understand.
The only other thing that needs to happen is to defang the IRS. The IRS is the hangman’s noose that enables the powers that be to actually control the citizens. Even if they don’t actually succeed with Obamacare, it will only be a matter of time before the left uses the IRS in a similar manner.
Don’t delay it. Let lo-information Obama voters experience sticker shock now, get angry now rather than later
If they delay it a year people will have another year to study it and realize the whole thing sucks.
It’s now or never for Obamacare.
aka scope creep.
Stephie doesn’t have a show until Sunday... Obama polled at 37% and democrats lost the generic congressional ballot in polls out today, they can’t wait 4 more days to float a baloon if those numbers are true.
300 million people are required by law to sign up for Obamacare in 6 months. Web site can handle (according to Debbie Downer Schultz) 50 thousand people a day.
Total time to get everyone signed up is 16 years.
Think they need a bigger boat.
You're optimistic. How many millions of new suckers will have to sign up every year? If it's as small as 3 million a year (doubtful) that's 48 million more people that have to be signed up in that 16 years.
..probably a couple hundred million to the bootlicking media to keep quiet
I think we’re going to see Obamacare collapse and retracted within the next 3 years. This piece of legislation is beyond toxic for the Dems and I think it’s going to cause them the loss of the midterms this year.
I really think they needed to have some kind of phased roll-out — geographic areas of the country or whatever. There would be some equal protection concerns raised, but really, no one would try to do the whole country from the get-go with an interactive website with huge backend database(s) and extensive third-party network connections.
