Blitzer: Delay Obamacare
National Review Online ^ | October 9,2013 | Andrew Johnson

Posted on 10/09/2013 12:30:16 PM PDT by Hojczyk

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.

Sounds like Wolfie is off the wagon again. He better get back on before King Zero sends his Brownshirted goon squad after him.

This is what I’m afraid of, think the Dems are just waiting for the right time to take this gift.

Obamacare would never end then- well, not until everyone in the country was penniless.

A year from now it won't work any better. I'm kind enjoying the sticker shock from the obamidiots.

Steffie Stephanopolous is the designated point man.

Wulf Blister has such low viewership even the administration disregards him.

Two points.

1) They’ve been working on this for over 3 years now and it’s a complete mess.

2) The vast majority of people have absolutely no concept on the enormity and extraordinary complexity of the system they are trying to complete. Honestly, I doubt such a system has ever been created on this scale, and I question whether it can actually be done short of the next decade.

Maybe they did test it, and they went live with it anyway?

You mean the Obamacare software is more complex than ESPN Fantasy Sports?

No, I think this would be a perfect out for them.

Obamacare is hugely unpopular across the entire population, the GOP has held out against it and Obama’s heavy-handed retribution has dropped his polling numbers to 37% (from an Obama-friendly source, which means they’re much lower), so I think the press flunky is actually offering the Dems an easy out.

Everything has functioned very badly and it would actually look prudent if Obama says he has to delay it for a year.

However, he’s probably too much of an arrogant, dictatorial you-know-what to do this, so I’d say we don’t have to get our hopes up quite yet.
