Harry Reid: People Aren’t Educated on How to Use the Internet
The Washington Free Beacon ^

Posted on 03/26/2014 10:39:12 AM PDT by don-o

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) said the fault of struggling to sign up on the Obamacare exchanges didn’t lie with the faulty website, but with the people who weren’t “educated on how to use the Internet.”

Explaining the reasoning behind the latest Obamacare delay, Reid said too many people just didn’t know to use their computer properly and needed more time. Apparently, it had nothing to do with the well-documented failings of the website that have embarrassed the White House for months.

“We have hundreds of thousands of people who tried to sign up who didn’t get through,” he said. “There are some people who are not like my grandchildren who can handle everything so easily on the Internet, and these people need a little extra time. It’s not — the example they gave us is a 63-year-old woman came into the store and said, ‘I almost got it. Every time I just about got there, it would cut me off.’ We have a lot of people just like this through no fault of the Internet, but because people are not educated on how to use the Internet.”

It’s just the latest strange moment for the embattled Reid,

Michelle let the cat out of the bag. The folks that haven't signed up are knuckleheads.

Her statement to moms was: Tell him he could get hurt in a car accident. What a rotten thing to say.

I guarantee this senile fossil has never even personally typed an e-mail nor logged in at any website. He has minions to handle those messy things for him.

Harry - you are not educated enough to run the country. Just look at the mess we are in. Thanks to you and the rest of your corrupt clan.

Every American born in the last 25 years knows how to use the Internet.
Perhaps Harry is letting his inner selfie be projected................

Reid is right. Parents need to get instructions from their 4 year old children on how to use the Internet.

This along the lines of the 2000 election’s “Democrats are too stupid to vote” line his party was peddling.

Harry is becoming a greater embarrassment to the RATS every day. They cringe every time this senile codger opens his oatmeal hole. Keep insulting the taxpayers, Harry!

“Harry Reid: People Aren’t Educated on How to Use the Internet”

How about requiring training and a license from the govt? Maybe a donation to the DNC?

I’ll place my internet skills against yours ANY DAY OF THE WEEK, Reid, you half-dead mortician-looking Pelosi-crazy mobbed-up reality-deprived whacked-out tyranny-coddling super-senile fraudulent intolerant America-hating petulant temper-tantrum-throwing waste of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Are these dummies really going to try suggesting that they need to delay Obamacare signup deadlines because people don’t know how to use the Internet?

People know how to use the Internet. Next thing you know, they’ll mandate classes on how to use the Internet. It’s a chance to create another monolithic federal bureaucracy.

One thing that I don't understand is how people can be so uneducated that they can't use a computer to get insurance on the internet, but they are educated enough to use a touch-screen voting machine to elect Democrats?

“And when I call the number for my Representative and get through the maze of options and lackeys, I finally get to the point where ‘I almost got it. Every time I just about got to talk to the Congressman, it would cut me off.’ “

(I guess I need to be “educated” on how to use the telephone…)
