NYT: Obamacare Collapse ´Has Deeply Embarrassed´ White House
Breitbart.com ^ | 10/15/2013 | Staff

Posted on 10/16/2013 6:06:07 AM PDT by safetysign

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.'"

Given that its collapse embarrassed the White Hut, are we to conclude that Obamacare is racist?

Still waiting for 0bama to come out with his feigned-anger, “someone will be held accountable” speech. Waiting...waiting....

Why do you post a garbage cartoon like that? That is right out of the liberal wingnut playbook.

This part isn’t intentional. Obama needs to hook people into the system as quickly and efficiently as possible, before the ramifications are known.

Guess what? Thanks to the collapse of healthcare.gov the ramifications are becoming known BEFORE the people can get hooked in.

I’ve worked in IT systems development for almost 20 years. Mostly on the business/management analysis and requirement management side. If what’s being said about the underlying architecture being fubar, it’s at least an 18 month fix. Probably more like 24 months. Minimum. Especially given US Government procurement regs.

Embarrassed?! I don’t think so. The TOTUS has had a daily opportunity to be embarrassed and he hasn’t been yet. Zero’s most uttered 3 phrases...”Pull up the jet, I’m going on vaca”. “I won”. “Fore”.

If I worked on Obamacare as an IT consultant, should I put it in my resume under ‘Significant Accomplishments”? Maybe I won’t put it in the resume at all and leave that ‘dead time’ as spending quality time with my family.

-——confidential Obama Administration documents——

How did the confidential documents get into the hands of Old Gray Whore reporters?

Why were the documents leaked? Are the insiders already covering their asses? If so, that makes it really really bad at this early date.

Then there is the word embarrassed. I would think perhaps there is a stronger word, perhaps fearful or maybe panicked. The political apparatchiks most certainly have feelings of intense dread. The problem is out of their hands and being apparatchiks they have no technical knowledge to develop a remedy beyond putting forth the word glitches.

They must in their atheist state begin to pray it will not last. That is their only hope to produce the desperately needed change.

The crisis wasn’t supposed to happen this quickly.

Conservatives and Republicans, need to quickly capitalize on healthcare.gov’s collapse.

Everything Clown Prince nobama and his Clown Car Administration does is intentional. In this instance if the “healthcare” system is successful, they win by having a socialist “healthcare” system. If it fails, they have a marxist single-payer system. Win win for the commies. The only saving grace for Free Americans is that if the delay and confusion is great enough and long enough, some patriotic leaders MIGHT emerge and stop this rush to communism.

COMMUNISTS ARE NEVER EMBARRASSED. This is just a step in the strategy to SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE, i.e., SOCIALISM.

Impossible.

People who are without a conscience cannot be embarrassed.
