What a complete and utter joke this whole thing is. It’s perfectly illustrative of the Federal Government’s knowledge, capabilities, and intent in their every endeavor.

Hehe. Excellent.

Why is a former WH Budget Chief assigned these duties?

Separation of functions thrown out the window?

I would think there are some fundamental breaches in appropriations ongoing here.

Working without pay? Not allowed.

You can’t perform “routine” maintainence on something that doesn’t work.

They cannot get anything right, yet they insist on telling us all is well. This is insanity and yet we have to live under this regime? The world is indeed upside down. Isaiah 59:3 : For your hands are stained with blood and your fingers with crime; your lips speak lies, your tongues utter wicked things.

Obama Care site and IRS shut down just before the “EMP” Black out drill is making me wary of the “drill”.

ObamaCare's federal data hub will undergo routine maintenance from Saturday night to Tuesday morning, temporarily preventing HealthCare.gov from verifying if users are eligible for premium tax credits.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) made the announcement Friday, saying the hub will be offline for work on its connection to the Internal Revenue Service.

The disruption will not prevent users from otherwise completing applications for coverage on the federally run exchanges, CMS communications director Julie Bataille said.

HealthCare.gov is usually taken down for maintenance overnight and during the weekends. Federal health officials say the disconnections are necessary as they make a variety of improvements and changes to the site.

The data hub is one component of the system that the CMS has touted as working well. It helps to check applicants' personal data against federal databases as they move through the enrollment process.

OK, let me make sure I've got this straight: the data hub will be offline. It's an important component of the system, because it checks applicant's personal data to make sure it's correct. Despite this, the government says people will still be able to complete their applications while the data hub is offline.

Does anyone else see this as problematic, or is it just me?

I would be ecstatic if Hussein and his entire government went down for 2-1/2 days a week...

Regularly!

They even called GEICO for help.

ROTFLOL! Down from Saturday to Tuesday is hardly routine maintenance. Can you imagine ebay, amazon, craigslist, espn, google, google email, apple, icloud, dropbox, or a slew of others going down every Saturday to Tuesday for “maintenance”? The Obammunists really do think the people of this country are stupid, stupid, stupid.
