TOM BROKAW: Well, there have been several low points, but this is certainly a low point at a critical time, coming into the 2014 elections, and a lot of Democrats beginning to bail on the idea of Obamacare. What was striking to me about that statement, "We should have been aware." Advertise
I would think, given the importance of Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act, eight months ago the president would have started every meeting with, "How are we doing? Is that going to be ready? That's going to be our big play for the second term," and demanding from Kathy Sebelius and other people who are involved in it that they were ready. And sending people over there to take a look at the rollout. That it suddenly landed the way that it did, in utter chaos, and it's not going to be an easy fix, is just inexplicable.

“Oh how could have anybody expected this?” He is as big a liar as Obama, every bit of this has been predicted for years.
Inconceivable is someone who actually voted for a Harvard law grad turned community organizer...
I cannot except that those politicians ( that imply that they represent us) actually entertain the notion that this plan can work at all........!!
They insult us!
That’s Racist!
And he doesn’t have a clue how things work in the real world. In his ivory tower world you simply tell people to do it and it magically gets done. No follow up, no management.
It became clear when he claimed that “you didn’t build that” when he was referring to the private sector and completely ignoring the fact that people in the private sector work their tails off.
Yep, worse than Carter … far worse.
The updates, posted to 0bama’s IPad, looked real good
YOU DIDN’T BUILD THAT.
IF YOU LIKE YOUR PLAN, YOU CAN KEEP IT PERIOD.
Kathy Sebelius.
Inside-the-beltway-much:
Because Obama and Sibelius (”failure is not an option - just fix it”) are clueless when it comes to computer systems. Probably thought it was like knocking a couple of programs together in Basic for a PC.
The cluelessness becomes more and more obvious from the statements they have come out with after the “rollout.” “We’re finding out insurance is complicated.” Yep.
Would Obama know how to solve an equation? Doubt it.
That’s right there is a bumper sticker I want!
The man has absolutely zero executive experience. He has never worked any any real job except Baskin Robbins. He has never run a business (or anything else). Why is this inexplicable. I think a better word is completely predictable.
A: So Tommy can see where he going!
“We can’t keep covering for you at every turn and retain SOME credibility,... we’re in this to win it in 2016...”
Obamacare was one of those SNAFUs from the Obama administration that Americans are experiencing at every economic level and segment of society.
Nobody’s happy.
The Democrat talking point, “Critics are worried that people will LIKE it!” has fallen flat.
Good point. I feel little to no sense of representation by my government, but it's nice to know that there are those like Brokaw who are ‘plugged in’ and are on a first name basis with the politburo.
Gee Tommy, it is quite explicable. Every time communism is tried.
Exactly.
Obama has been ruling, arbitrarily and summarily against the best interests of Americans for the last 5 years. Brokaw is now only figuring it out? No way. He is not mad because Obama is inept, only mad because Obama is a discredit to his clan (progressive Marxist).
If he really was a President of the people, he would have been the first person signed up on the Healthcare.gov website.
