CNN host: Obama should accept GOP proposal and delay ObamaCare for a year
Human Events ^ | 10/10/2013 | John Hayward

It may not mark a tectonic shift in the political landscape, but it seems significant that CNN’s Wolf Blitzer expressed support for Republican proposals to delay ObamaCare for a year:

Blitzer was then set upon by other CNN hosts while leaving the studio, resulting in a melee that escalated quickly, ending when Piers Morgan killed a guy with a trident.

CALL TO ACTION: Should Congress be exempt from Obamacare? Sign the petition to deny Congressional exemption here!

This particular conversation revolved around the epic “glitches” that have plagued the ObamaCare website. ”Glitchy” is a debatable term for a website that barely works at all. There is mounting evidence the people behind this fiasco knew it would bomb on Day One, which makes all those Obama Administration flacks who chirped about Healthcare.gov suffering from its popularity – “What a great problem to have!” – into abject liars, on par with the President who promised you could keep your health-care plan if you liked it.

I noticed a Fox News report this morning headlined “Glitch-filled launch of ObamaCare site decried as ‘train wreck’ by critics.” No, that was the guy who wrote the Affordable Care Act, Senator Max Baucus (D-MT).

In the article, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) asks, “How can we tax people for not buying a product from a website that doesn’t work?” The Founding Fathers would have stopped you in stunned disbelief ten words into that sentence, Mr. Speaker, and asked how your revolution against the tyrannical, illegitimate government was going. They might also ask which foreign power conquered America and forced such a regime upon us. Then they’d ask you what a “website” is. Give Thomas Jefferson a couple of days to get up to speed, and he could write a better one than Barack Obama produced...

Obamacare makes the byzantine sewage system look simple. Even the computer cannot compute the exchanges. i am willing to bet they have nigerian scammers acting as calculators.

Did you use your real SSN and name when you were sniffing around the MD site?

Yeah - you have to, but it is an encrypted web site. The only good part of MD's system. However, the site did not accept my info, so MD doesn't have it at this time on their servers.

Given the disastrous start just to sign up for the health exchanges, they should delay full implementation and just do a small-scale pilot program to make sure everything works. Of course, we should just kibosh the whole idea and replace it with health insurers being able to offer insurance plans across state lines on a regional basis, which would substantially increase competition and cut premium costs.

Good.

I think it’s going to implode very fast.

One of BOR’s bimbos (Powers) says the president shouldn’t cave to the one year delay and said that would be stupid and harmful. Bill chided the conservative chick for laughing at her stupid assertion. (I know, but I only tune into Wednesday’s show to watch Dennis Miller!)

“the 24/7 web site has been taken down for maintenance between 11 pm - 6 am EVERY DAY since its launch - and will continue to do so INDEFINITELY !!!”

Implosion indeed. What was wrong with it to begin with, plus maintenance induced failure from trying to fix software in a crisis mode which will only further complicate the spaghetti mess of code.

The faster they try to fix it, the more it will break so they will have to keep fixing the fixes. HA!
