If I’d been given the job of implementing the Obamacare softare, my paramount requirement would have been that it not be massively deployed until thoroughly tested. In the case of the current Obamacare software it’s obvious that the software was deployed too soon because no one had the guts to delay it.

My 2nd-to-paramount requirement would be to glue together chunks of existing software, which I’m sure they did, but it’s not easy.

Also, I would want the individual chunks to be independently testable so you could sorta tell how the overall project was progessing.

Someone set a completion date for the software that was nothing more than a poor gamble.

“decade old” technology is not a problem. Stupid design is.

Hey, Obama wanted his friends in on the action... you know - you scratch my back - I’ll scratch yours - the Chicago style... Besides the press won’t blame him... they totally get the Chicago Way and they are soooooooo on board.

You have doubts? Think how the New York Times would have dealt with this if Bush had screwed up like this...

Were Republicans right about delaying the big government mess you've created? Or are you going to forge ahead to save face, harming millions of people in the process?

Easy question, easy answer:
Based on past performance, Obama will NEVER admit his "signature piece of legislation" roll-out was a ClusterFrack of monumental proportions. Nor will he explain where all the money went.

I expect that he is wound about as taut as one can go and one more little push will send him over the edge into a full blown Fukushima melt down.

The downside of such an event is illustrated by the list of Presidential Succession:

  1 Vice President of the United States Joe Biden (D)
  2 Speaker of the House John Boehner (R)
  3 President pro tempore of the Senate Patrick Leahy (D)
  4 Secretary of State John Kerry (D)
  5 Secretary of the Treasury Jacob Lew (D)
  6 Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel (R)
  7 Attorney General Eric Holder (D)
  – Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell (D) ^{Naturalized US citizen born in the United Kingdom.}
  8 Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack (D)
  9 Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker (D)
10 Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez (D)
11 Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius (D)
12 Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Shaun Donovan (D)
13 Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx (D)
14 Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz (D)
15 Secretary of Education Arne Duncan (D)
16 Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki (I)
  – Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Rand Beers (D) ^{Acting department head.}

The first seven scare the stuffing out of me...
