NYT: Obamacare Collapse 'Has Deeply Embarrassed' White House
Big Journalism ^ | 10/15/2013 | WYNTON HALL

Posted on 10/15/2013 6:35:18 PM PDT by markomalley

A New York Times investigative article based on two dozen interviews with industry insiders and confidential Obama Administration documents reveals that the catastrophic $500 million Obamacare rollout "has deeply embarrassed the White House" and has the technology companies involved "publicly distancing themselves" from the Obamacare fiasco. 

"These are not glitches. The extent of the problems is pretty enormous," an insurance executive who participated in Obamacare conference calls told the Times. "At the end of our calls, people say, 'It's awful, just awful.'" 

The Times says those closest to the three-and-a-half year-long building of Obamacare, like embattled Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, ignored or quashed the myriad warning bells sounding all around them. On Tuesday, the Republican National Committee released a #FireSebelius web ad calling for Sebelius's ousting.

I didn’t think anything could embarrass them, they of no moral fiber other than Steamroller Tyranny.

Don’t kid yourself. They are NOT embarrassed. They simply recalculate.

I pray that it’s true. This jerk needs to be humbled for once, if only brief.

I know someone who is an executive with one of the largest insurance providers in the country. He said that Obama has not given the insurers a working software application to be able to allow them to sell to individuals. In three years, the administration has not even figured out how to do that. The insurers have no guidance from the feds.

Embarrased? Not hardly. They're right on schedule.

The Strategy was first elucidated in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation magazine by a pair of radical socialist Columbia University professors, Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. David Horowitz summarizes it as:

The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse."

Yeah, it’s hard to tweak the performance and patch the functionality of a website that is just very badly designed and implemented. When buildings go up with similar pathology they are usually razed.

It would be easier to shame a murder of crows and photograph their crimson blushing than to embarrass this bunch in the White Hut.
More MSM horses***.

This is why you don't elect unqualified, bizarre radicals to the presidency based on the color of their skin.

Why should they be embarrassed? What are you gonna do about it? The same we’ve done about Benghazi. What a country, Comrade!

Note to NYT: It is impossible to embarrass the White House. They ARE an embarrassment on a daily basis and the NYT covers for them!

I think you hit on the exact cause of the problem. Affirmative action software from an affirmative action administration.
