"Can I ask a stupid question?

NOT A STUPID QUESTION.

Obamacare was passed in March 2010. They had over three years to plan for the day in which people would start signing up for insurance. Is the Obama administration so incompetent that they were not up to the task of setting up these websites, testing, troubleshooting,etc. before the rollout???

YES, THEY ARE THAT INCOMPETENT.

Are government IT types so incompetent that they couldn’t set up this system? Is the outside computer firm incompetent?

YES. THEY ARE THAT INCOMPETENT.

Does any of this give us all confidence that the government will be able to administer other parts of Obamacare successfully????

VOTE: NO CONFIDENCE.

"Republicans have to run against the Democrats and the media. The Democrats only have to run against Republicans."

YEP...Republicans will have to work twice as hard. At least twice as hard.

"Do what libtards do-and GET OFF OF *THEIR* SCRIPT We need to talk about this in 24/7 coverage for the next 3 months, until the next budget fight Jan 15"

"And it is still fresh in American voter's minds that Conservatives tried to stop the Obamacare train wreck and Democrats fought them."

Be Breitbart (RIP) and be Lee Atwater (RIP). Both died way too young.

They have Alinsky. Do not ignore that. Use our smarts to combat the Alinsky crowd.

"Someone should photoshop Obama, Pelosi, Reed on top of the three stooges.

Pelosi should be Larry, Obama should be Moe, and Reed Curly. Sebilius could be Shemp. Or whatever order you prefer.

And right below the picture — “Obamacare. Brought to you by this gang.”

Sebilius can be Cruella De Vil.

They can always go with the oldies like women & children, and grandparents having to eat dog food.

So who will be the first to stop it come December 30th when it is a failure..and no one has signed up...because they can´t...because they system is all screwed up...and January 1st is when it kicks in....I pity that poor sick person on new Years day that has “signed”up..but will not show up in any computer system..what will a doctor or hospital do...Cash I bet...this is going to be so expensive and so bad..higher costs..lower quality..more lawsuits...

Ya! Perfect.

They would have had to hire an IBM or Oracle or SAP to make a system of this size work correctly.

But then they would have lost control, and wouldn't have been able to use the development budget as a slush fund to pay off their political cronies and supporters.

So, considering the amount of the total budget that likely found its way into actual software development, the site worked exactly as it should have been expected to.

Um, no.

Whilst listening to a panel discussion of the ACA on NPR this am, they planted some question-- ostensibly from a caller or emailer whom their audience never had the chance to verify existed-- that raised the ghostly apparition of Conservatives deliberately attacking the Obamascare website, thus fully accounting for the troubles with implementation.

When the guest-HC expert laughed at the conspiratorial fantasy, the hostess pounced on him bringing him to heel...ultimately he conceded it was a possibility, but in what must have been an honest slip said "absolutely not the only cause."

These people are getting desperate.
