Obama: 'No excuse' for health care signup problems

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Monday said there was "no excuse" for the cascade of computer problems that have marred the rollout of key elements in his health care law, but declared he was confident the administration would be able to fix the issues.

"There's no sugarcoating it," Obama said. "Nobody is more frustrated than I am."

The president said his administration was doing "everything we can possibly do" to get the federally run websites up and running. And he guaranteed that everyone who wants to get insurance through the new health care exchanges will be able to.

Obama's event in the White House Rose Garden had the feeling of a health care pep rally, with guests in the Rose Garden applauding as Obama ticked through what the White House sees as benefits of the law. The president was introduced by a woman who had successfully managed to sign up for health insurance through the marketplaces in her home state of Delaware.

The president insisted that his health care law is about more than just a website.

"The essence of the law, the health insurance that's available to people, is working just fine," he said.

I hope it continues to fail so it will never really be rolled out.

Now we're seeing that the 0bamacare's '1-800-FUC*-YOU' phone number was NO JOKE. Whose idea was THAT, Valerie Jarrett's?

You know it’s pretty abysmal when even yahoo news is going on about how many problems there are: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/heres-why-many-americans-getting-204446320.html

If Obama really means it when he says there is no excuse, then he needs to prove it by firing those responsible, starting with Sebellius.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

No excuse for Obama either, but we got him and his policies.

Sometimes there is no cure for stupidity.

As concerning the Obamacare registration fiasco, sometimes there is no cure for incompetence and greed.

Is it true that #Julia is a web designer? If so, that’s funny right there......

Biggest, costliest, most screwed up big government boondoggle ever. Total train wreck.

everyone who WANTS to get insurance....I thought the whole point of this law was because EVERYBODY wants insurance.

[Scrambler Bob]

“Obama: “Why do I always inherent all these messes?” “

Because that dumb “W” was really so smart that you haven’t been able to improve anything in FIVE years.

In fact he was so smart that you have LOST GROUND.

[DoughtyOne]

Master race to health care...

Disaster and disgrace for health care...

Nobody is unhappier than he is?

LMAO, Narcissist in Chief...

[PghBaldy]

It is the biggest mistake which both sides of the aisle can agree on. It is a joke. It must tick him off. ;)

>> “There’s no sugarcoating it,” Obama said. “Nobody is more frustrated than I am.”

Shut up, asshole.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

<<< “The essence of the law, the health insurance that’s available to people, is working just fine,” he said.>>>

Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of people getting cancellation notices from their insurance companies, the tens of thousands in sticker shock from Obamacare rates, or the people 6 months from now who realize what deductibles and co-pays mean. A bold faced lie, by any measure.

So why was he in the Rose Garden “a whole bunch” of ‘em.
