Imagine that Jeff Bezos asked his vice-president for sales IT how many people had purchased products from Amazon the day before, and the veep said he'd get back to him "in a few weeks." How many nanoseconds do you think that hapless employee would last in his job?
But on today's Morning Joe, there was the Obama admin's David Simas, sporting the lofty title of Deputy Senior Advisor for Communications and Strategy, smiling insouciantly while saying that it would be a "few weeks" before the Obama admin would say how many people had signed up for Obamacare. Conclusion: either: 1. the Obama admin's information technology planning and implementation is grossly incompetent; and/or 2. President Obama doesn't want Americans to know just how few people have signed up for Obamacare--particularly in the young-and-healthy demographic, upon whose willingness to make the uneconomic choice of signing up the entire house of cards depends.

Deceit, incompetence, or some combo thereof? Ping to Today show list.
They know exactly how many got signed up, and it’s embarrassingly low.
They’re hoping this resolves itself in a few weeks.
I think I may know why they are hiding this data...
I just tried
signing up” becuase, well, I want to see how much more the Obamacare premiums are over what I’m paying now. I went to my state’s web site which sent me to the federal web site. After waiting 10 minuted to get to the create your account screen, I filled out the most basic information including their security questions, nd clicked the next button,
After 90 seconds, the system told me that the system is busy and can’t process my request. I clicked chat for help and after 90 seconds was told that there was no one to help me because they’re simply too busy.
Four das into this foaco, their system is STILL not working. THey don’t want to release low numbers because they are low for one of two reasons:
1) The demand is far lower than they predicted.
2) Their system doesn’t work.
Either way, they are deliberately hiding damning information about their silly health care fantasy
If I eventually do get in, I’ll post the difference between what I pay now and thay my family would pay under Obamacare.
Has anyone else tried and gotten actual rates?
In other words, numbers with no attached info is insufficient.
I wonder how many couldn’t get through to their state’s page. I’ve been trying intermittently for days. Last night the site was “down for maintenance.”
Obamacare. All Pain, No Gain
Poor guy, did Lurch Kerry inseminate his Mother?
LOL...and no doubt these figures will be as phony as the unemployment numbers have been during Obumbles’ reign.
They’ll blame it on the shutdown just like the labor department did this morning when they didn’t put out the highly massaged jobs numbers (crikets chirpiung on CNBC).
To coin a cottage cheese butt ugly Feminazi, “at this point what difference does it make”.
Is there any sane and HONEST person on this planet who would believe for a second ANY number the government releases for ANYTHING?
How are those BLS numbers for accuracy.
How are the estimates for economic growth for accuracy?
How many people are OUT of a job?
How many new green jobs have succeeded?
How are those global warming temperature estimates tracking?
How many peaceful muslims are there?
Oh and just what is the REAL inflation figure after all the tax cheats have kept the printing presses cranking out more worthless dollars after more worthless dollars?
ETC!
You gave them your SS number and other personal information? Now the IRS can check on your compliance. Good luck.
Does it really take “weeks” to come up with some bulls**t numbers?
I guess the govt BS besn counters have been furloughed.
A few weeks. That’s more than enough time for Pres. Glitch to have stuck it to the American people once again.
No, I couldn’t get that far into the process before it said it couldn’t continue.
But...the IRS is going to track my compliance ANYWAY, so I don’t see it as making any difference. I have children so going barefoot is not an option.
Anybody that willingly gives information to this regime is nuts.
Remember the double-, triple-, and quadruple-counting (not to mention the outright lies) that went into the “how many jobs have been created or saved” propaganda issued by the Obama regime to claim that the stimulus was working?
Look for that effort in mendacity to be outclassed by the coming one.
