House Republicans released another round of Obamacare-related emails late Thursday that shows concern among administration officials days before the flawed launch of a federal website charged with linking many American to health coverage.

According to the emails, officials at the agency charged with building HealthCare.gov told the project manager on Sept. 27 — four days before launch — that tests were "not good" and showed inefficient and defective code.

One message said they "have not been successful in moving beyond 500 concurrent users filling applications without income verification."

"Adding capacity to address bottlenecks like these likely be ineffective," the email continued.

If they were to uncover an email in which Obama said "Can you make the problems bigger? I mean, we really need this to fail -- otherwise we will never be able to slip Single Payer past the public."

It would change nothing. The media would explain it away as just pragmatic politics.

Here’s another flash - Obama knew it would cost MORE to close the World War II Memorial than leaving it alone. It was closed so dems and Obama could express their hatred of middle class Americans - especially vets.
