Reid: We Only Extended Obamacare Because People Don't Know How to Use the Internet

Sen. Harry Reid (D., Nev.) had an excellent reason for the latest Obamacare deadline extension—thousands of Americans just aren’t “educated on how to use the Internet.”

Despite the fact that Obamacare has already been delayed 28 times, Reid told a reporter Wednesday “there’s no hiccup or delay.” The problem is not the glitchy Healthcare.gov or the fact that nobody wants the insurance being offered, according to Reid. The real issue is that many people just aren't as tech savvy as his grandchildren...which doesn’t really help Reid’s argument seeing as millennials are abandoning Obama along with his managerial legislation.

There is already the option to mail in your health insurance information, or call. So perhaps the older generation has forgotten how to use the postal system and the telephone as well.

The White House originally projected Obamacare enrollment would reach seven million by March 31. They then clipped this number to six million, and are still looking at missing this modified goal by one million. Even if Reid’s ludicrous claim has any truth, it is extremely unlikely that a hidden pocket of tech-burdened Americans are going to boost enrollment numbers.

Sometimes you just need to accept defeat and save yourself some embarrassment.

Low information voters are too stupid to use the Internet, let alone to vote.

So the victims (those who lost their insurance) aren’t just liars. They’re STUPID liars according to this stupid lying politician.

Shouldn’t matter. I actually went to Walmart last week ,which I never do, and there was a booth in the front of the store right by the cashiers to sign people up.

Because all the young enrollees they need aren’t internet savvy like the medicaid folks are.

Reid:
"The American people are a bunch of dumb-asses, uh, um, let me rephrase that before you print it,
"People Are Not Educated On How To Use The Internet" - yea, that sounds better, print that....

Remember though, Sharron Angle was the crazy one.

I'd rather have one of those Vegas' Elvis impersonators as Senator than Reid.

They don’t have any idea that Reid said this, or even who he is. That’s why they’re LIVs. Thus, he (and other libbies) can insult their own voter base with impunity.

He must be referring to the idiots who designed the website for over $600 million.

He really shouldn’t project his own tech ignorance on others...
