Good deal lets pay for it 2x’s maybe 3

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It's already way too complicated. Throwing more bodies at it will only make it worse.

Too big to fail is too big to work.

[erikm88]

THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST!!!

[American Constitutionalist]

Obamacare, TO BIG TO FAIL ! so they put more resources on it.

[PlateOfShrimp]

Apparently, they are also using one of the very top IT firms in the UK, Reynholm Industries.

[dfwgator]

If they have any issues, they can call their special help line at

0118 999 881 99 9119 725.........3.

[FES0844]

Snowden’s available for a get out of jail card.

[petitfour]

Just wow.

[sarasota]

How on earth will the clueless one determine who is the brightest?

RE :”Anyone who has been part of a federal project that involves technical work performed by contractors has got to be shaking his head today at the vision of outsiders swooping into a massive project and fixing complex mistakes. The attempt to integrate new people with very high opinions of their own technical prowess into this mind-numbingly complicated undertaking will involve a lot of unpleasant meetings that waste the time of people who should be working on the site, the endeavor will be severely hamstrung by the basic character of federal contracting work (in which the four corners of the contract are everything and rules matter more than goals), and it will all only delay the inevitable end game — which is that the contractors who screwed this up will need to be the people who unscrew it, they will do it slowly and clumsily, and they will get paid handsomely by the taxpayer for the additional work. “

They call them Tiger Teams.
Standard Federal government disaster fire drill.
They will be busy a while.

Too bad they cant hide it and procecute whistleblowers as they did here

Trailblazer (massive software) Project

[SMARTY]

Will they be the same crowd of irresponsible and stupid geeks who hand out US national security secrets like popcorn?

[cuban leaf]

He has not a clue. And he is demonstrating it with every move on this calamity.

Explanation:
When a project goes south, you can’t just bring in new, “smart” blood to fix it and think it’s gonna be fine.
This whole thing is almost like a much ballyhoo’d manned Mars launch that crashed and burned on the platform because of many and diverse systemic failures. You don’t bring in an “extra special smart” team of guys and try it again in a few weeks.

It will take years.

"The Best and the Brightest: Obama to Hire Special Teams of IT Experts to Fix Healthcare.gov..."

.... Now here's a thought ...... Why didn't Skippy consider hiring them to build the site in the first place instead of throwing 600 million taxpayer dollars at a failed foreign company with a record of incompetence?

[Ray76]

Ditch Initech, bring in Initrode.

[TMD]

So, does this mean they didn’t have the best and brightest develop it? Hmm, that’s such a surprise (not).

[SC DOC]

They already fixed the webiste:

Healthcare.gov

[dfwgator]

"We...fixed the glitch."

[Liz]

Obama to hire The Best and the Brightest IT Experts to Fix Healthcare.gov?

Mmmmmmm....the stupid O team will naturally assume all the IT's are avid O worshippers, dying to glorify O....

......just like the cronies that screwed it up did.

ROTFL.

O team might be in for a big surprise.

[GOPJ]

Obama’s already spent a half billion dollars on this mess ... He didn’t start with people who knew what they were doing because with dems it’s always cronies and incompetents first...
