"I'll do it for Five million dollars."

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is expected to acknowledge that widespread problems with his health care law's rollout are unacceptable, as the administration scrambles to fix the cascade of computer issues.
Obama was scheduled to speak Monday from the Rose Garden, his first health care-focused event since the scope of the problems became apparent. The troublesome rollout of the health care exchanges has been a glaring embarrassment for Obama's signature legislative achievement.
White House officials say the president will discuss steps the administration is taking to address the failures, including ramping up staffing at call centers where people can apply for insurance by phone. The Department of Health and Human Services says it is also bringing in technology experts from inside and outside of government to help diagnose the issues.
HHS, in a memo released Sunday, said it was also putting in place "tools and processes to aggressively monitor and identify parts of HealthCare.gov where individuals are encountering errors or having difficulty using the site, so we can prioritize and fix them."
Obama will be flanked at the Rose Garden event by people the White House says have already enrolled during the first three weeks of sign-ups. Enrollment figures are being closely guarded by the administration, which plans to release the first round of data in mid-November.

"Folks remember when the i-phone came out and there was a glitch. Apple didn't pull the product, they fixed it. We're Americans, we fix things."
Isn't that pretty much what he said the first week in October? I bet we'll hear the same thing again, with a lot more "in's" instead of "ing's" to explain it to us.
As predicted, the portrayal is of a website problem.
When we know that isn’t the problem AT ALL.
Is there a website problem - yes, a DEBACLE.
But that isn’t what’s really wrong.
I’m torn because I still have a few bones to pick with Michele Bachmann, but I’ll give her credit where it’s due -
I like what I heard her say in the media - forget which outlet - that under obamacare, the federal government will PENALIZE AMERICANS FOR NOT BUYING A PRODUCT THEY DO NOT WANT AND CANNOT AFFORD, FROM A WEBSITE THAT DOES NOT WORK.
That was really good...
Let the lying commence.
Yes. Bachmann is right and she’s doing good work on this.
“”Obama will be flanked at the Rose Garden event by people the White House says have already enrolled during the first three weeks of sign-ups.””
Of course, he will - even if every single one of them voted for him and is lying for him now!
He’s afraid to appear alone. Does he also sleep with a teddy bear?
“Zero” huh.
Well, THAT’S appropriate.
It’s going to be interesting to find out how many times he say “Let me make this perfectly clear” and “I have directed” in his best Angry Black Man routine.
“If it weren’t for those troublesome Republicans, Obamacare would be working wonderfully.”
“If it weren’t for those troublesome Tea Party people, Obamacare would be working wonderfully.”
“If it weren’t for Ted Cruz, Obamacare would be working wonderfully.”
"I'll do it for Five million dollars."
“I .. I .. me .. my .. I .. me .. my .. I”
The Chocolate Fuhrer speaketh...lies.
Just put that $674m in the Solyndra category.
"clap-clap-clap"
Remark from the man who is destroying healthcare for all and the useful idiots lapping it up.
"Newman !!! ... I mean Obama !!!"
The healthcare fiasco is a tempest in a teapot. All that Footstompy O’Stalin has to do is threaten to shoot the website programmers by sundown if the code isn’t fixed. That’s realistic, isn’t it? The trains WILL run on time, or else, dammit!
As usual I couldn’t watch more than a couple of minutes of this clown. I am so tired of the “Lame Brain Blame Game”
It’s the Republicans, hurricanes, Bush’s, flood, drought, reactor meltdown’s fault! It’s never never never his fault. I wonder if he ever heard of the President who said “The Buck Stops Here”?
Keep a gas mask handy.
