Perhaps the British could send the Churchill sculpture to Portland; then there would be two busts in Oregon.

The timing is curious and the board may well be in violation of their fiduciary duty. Is there not a lawsuit making its way to SCOTUS to deny the subsidy to non-state-run exchanges? OTOH, Oracle Corp built the Oregon exchange, did it not? If any company in America has the wherewithal to fix the site it would be them - and on their nickel. UNLESS the fail is due to spec changes and requirements set by the board that resulted in the mess and Oracle’s contract covers their, uh, ass-ets. So the board could be heading towards the worst of both worlds.

The private sector would never urinate away money like this. Obamacare must be repealed before its full harm is felt by our nation.

Does that mean that, since Oregon doesn’t have a state exchange, Oregon won’t have federal subsidies in accordance with the “Affordable” Care Act?

lol! When they showed a clip of this tv ad on Fox News months ago, one of the commentators described it as a creepy child-molestor video.

And not a single person responsible will spend a day in prison or pay a nickel in fines. Not one. There will be no investigations, no indictments, no follow-ups, no trial, no nothing.

And the American taxpayers get bent over yet again by the "most transparent" Kenyan.

How many schools could have been built for $300 millions?
How many roads improved?
How many scholarships for children from low income families
in Oregon.

$300,000,000.00 stolen by LIBs/DIMs. This could have funded how many college scholarships for “disadvantaged” youths? How many homeless blind people could have been “helped”? ...and so forth. These LIBs/DIMs are criminals who hate the people. They need a taste of justice.

To put this in perspective, one could build 3 large high schools with $300 million.
