Carney: 'We did not anticipate the scale of problems'
The Hill ^ | October 23, 2013 | Justin Sink

Posted on 10/23/2013 10:56:09 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

White House press secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday that there was "no question we did not anticipate the scale of problems" with the ObamaCare website, following an admission by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that President Obama was unaware of the technical problems HealthCare.gov would face upon its debut.

"While we knew there would be some glitches and actually said publicly there could be some problems, we did not know until the problems manifested themselves after the launch they would be as significant as they turned out to be," Carney said.

The White House press secretary admitted that administration officials "did not expect the scale of problems that we have seen."

Carney added that they were "extremely unfortunate and we take responsibility for them."

"no question we did not anticipate the scale of problems"

Because it wasn't tested.

And will he say the same thing once we are all on single-payer?

Which in turn would tell any competent systems professional that there were going to be many, many problems.

These aren’t “glitches” and “problems” - it is an absolute, systemic failure.

“...we take responsibility for them.”

Translation:

“We take ‘responsibility’ for this about like we took responsibility for Benghazi. In other words, we will flap our gums a little, and that’ll be the end of it.”

Taking responsibility to a libtard means ONLY going through the painful agony of saying “I take responsibility”

Nothing else

They don’t actually have to do anything, they just have to say the words

I’m still looking for the ending to his sentence:

“We did not anticipate the scale of problems WE INHERITED”

These people always blame someone else for all their screw-ups.

“Just imagine the reaction of CarneyBarker and his puppetmaster 0bama if George W. Bush had said this following Katrina ....
‘We did not anticipate the scale of problems’ ... “

When the liberal responds “But people DIED during Katrina!!!!”

The correct response is, “But hasn’t the TV been telling you for years that people are dying everyday for the lack of healthcare insurance?”

Then watch the dumb-founded look.

Seriously, what’s failing would have been caught by trying to sign up ONE test user.

You beat me to it. “We did not anticipate the level to which the Republicans had sabotaged the system.”

When free people develop systems, they tend to do so over time, working out the problems as they go. Most systems are not born fully developed.

And when businesses develop systems, they do so knowing that if they get it wrong, they’ll lose customers. They know that their customers do not have to do business with them, so they design their systems purposely to make it attractive to do business with them. The ones who get it wrong soon go out of business.

The government, on the other hand, doesn’t have to get it right, or make it attractive. They just pass a law requiring that you use their system like it or not. If it works, or doesn’t work, the law is the law.
