Well, The Yahoo News Video reports less than 27,000 having signed up, considerably less than the numbers quoted by the Business Insider story I posted earlier reporting only 100,000 signing up.

March 21st 2010 to October 1, 2013 is 3 years, 6 months and 10 days.

December 7, 1941 to May 8, 1945 is 3 years, 5 months and 1 day.

What this means is that in the same amount of time since we were attacked at Pearl Harbor and completed WWII to the day Germany surrendered, this federal government managed by Barack Obama could not build a working Obamacare website.

From the beginning of WWII we could mobilize millions of people, build hundreds of thousands of tanks, airplanes, jeeps, subs, cruisers, destroyers, torpedoes, millions upon millions of guns, bombs, ammo, etc., turn the tide in North Africa, invade Italy, fight D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, Race to Berlin, island hop in the Pacific taking island after island, develop and build and use the first atomic weapon - all while we were, at the same time, fighting the Japanese in the Pacific and the Nazis in Europe.....

And this current Obama managed government (while easily and effortlessly doubling the National Debt), could not create a working website in the same amount of time !”

I would bet most of the 27,000 were either uninsurable or included in medicare.
