0bummer regime has already declared success after the “fix”...
Enjoy this ObamaFlowers analogy too — then pass it on — make it go viral. PS. I got it in an email.
Obama Flowers - Have you ordered yours yet?
(Receptionist) Hello, Welcome to ObamaFlowers, My name is Trina. How can I help you?
(Customer) Hello, I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower order has been canceled and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the 800 number.
(Receptionist) Yes, I am sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of November – or maybe December. But I can help you.
(Customer) Thanks, I ordered a “Spring Bouquet” for our anniversary, and wanted it delivered to my wife.
(Receptionist Interrupting) Sir, “Spring Bouquets” do not meet our minimum standards, I will be happy to provide you with Red Roses.
(Customer) But I have always ordered “Spring Bouquets”, done it for years, my wife likes them.
(Receptionist) Roses are better, sir. I am sure your wife will love them.
(Customer) Well, how much are they?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package.
(Customer) What’s the difference?
(Receptionist) 6, 12,18 or 24 Red Roses.
(Customer) The Silver package may be okay, how much is it?
(Receptionist) It depends sir, what is you monthly income?
(Customer) What does that have to do with anything?
(Receptionist) I need that to determine your government flower subsidy, then I can determine how much your out of pocket cost will be. But if your income is below our minimums for a subsidy, then I can refer you to our FlowerAid department.
(Customer) FlowerAid?
(Receptionist) Yes, Flowers are a Right, everyone has a right to flowers. So, if you can’t afford them, then the government will supply them free of charge.
(Customer) Who said they were a Right?
(Receptionist) Congress passed it, the President signed it and the Supreme Court found it Constitutional.
(Customer) Whoa.....I don’t remember seeing anything in the Constitution regarding Flowers as a Right.
(Receptionist) It is not really a Right in the Constitution, but ObamaFlowers is Constitutional because the Supreme Court Ruled it a “Tax”. Taxes are Constitutional. But we feel it is a Right.
(Customer) I don’t believe this...
(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land sir. Now, we anticipated most people would go for the Silver Package, so what is you monthly income sir?
(Customer) Forget it, I think I will forgo the flowers this year.
(Receptionist) In that case sir, I will still need your monthly income.
(Customer) Why?
(Receptionist) To determine what your ‘non-participation’ cost would be.
(Customer) WHAT? Your can’t charge me for NOT buying flowers!
(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land, sir, approved by the Supreme Court. It’s $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income.....
(Customer)interrupting) This is ridiculous, I’ll pay the $9.50..
(Receptionist) Sir, it is the $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income, whichever is greater.
(Customer) ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What a ripoff!!
(Receptionist) Actually sir, it is a good deal. Next year it will be 2%.
(Customer) Look, I’m going to call my Congressman to find out what’s going on here. This is ridiculous. I’m not going to pay it.
(Receptionist) Sorry to hear that sir, that’s why I had the NSA track this call and obtain the make and model of the cell phone your are using.
(Customer) Why does the NSA need to know what kind of CELL PHONE I AM USING?
(Receptionist) So they get your GPS coordinates sir
(Door Bell rings followed immediately by a loud knock on the door)
(Receptionist) That would be the IRS sir. Thanks for calling ObamaFlowers, have a nice day...and God Bless America.
I am currently in Germany myself and just tried. Does not work for me either.
That guy in my White House TM) has sought to end all Cadillac coverage plans and replace them with an Edsel.

You are accurate and CORRECT.
Let me add.. as far as obozocare website, "I don't think there is any way back to the main road."
Unsalvageable.
I doubt it matters at this point. They just declared victory and are walking awaway from discussing it any further; which means the MSM has their marching orders. Only right-wing kooks will be continuing to complain at this point. Other than that it will be a news blackout. If you had your policy cancelled and still can’t log in. Well...then it’s your fault. You must be computer illiterate. Either use the website (that doesn’t work) to buy a plan or go uninsured and pay your fine. Kafkaesque.

Agree with you both. My husband was reading an article on Yahoo. A Loony leftist liberal prof who was suggesting we end term limits for the President. Hubby skimmed pages and pages.(30,000+ posts when he was reading) Found NOT ONE person in favor, all flaming away at the idiot. These were Repubs, dems and conservatives, independents - all absolutely furious at Obama and what he’s done to health care (many were former Obama supporters). People are mad as heck and will be getting more angry as the year goes on.
America has seen the man behind the curtain and waking up that he is a fake and a fraud and hates us all.
And I agree with all three of you. If, and I’m still agnostic on this, this was designed to fail to usher in
a national socialist system, I don’t think those who hoped this would fail to usher in single payer expected the script to go as it’s going.
And I’m saying the final 90% part is the paying for the new high-priced plans. It seems few people, if any, have actually sent in a payment yet. And the biggest laugh is yet to come when the Kenyan doesn’t get any checks from the young crowd that were supposed to bankroll the whole deal.
Yeah, been a lot of wisdom out there about how the whole thing was designed to work bad enough to force a shift to a single-payer system. Bbbbbuuuuuttttt that has to have a system that will work also. Aaaaannnndddd it has to have the young folks chipping in in some fashion. The Kenyan and his stooges are certified incompetent revolutionaries and I’m reminded of the old line about holding a revolution but nobody came.
Try SQL injection. Type a semicolon followed by SELECT * FROM USER.
If they haven’t coded to preclude it, this will cause the server to list all user information. Of course, the table name may be different. If it returns a programming error, try replacing USER with NAME or some such.
Of course, no professional would leave that door open. Only a noob would allow SQL injection into their system.
Is somebody hacking it, or are they just too dumb to do it right?
One sunny day in January, 2017, an old man approaches the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue where he’d been sitting on a park bench. He speaks to the U.S. Marine standing guard and says, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.” The Marine looks at the man and says, “Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here. ”The old man says, “Okay,” and walks away.
The following day the same man approaches the White House and says to the same Marine, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.” The Marine again tells the man, “Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here.” The man thanks him and again just walks away.
The third day the same man approaches the White House and speaks to the very same U.S. Marine, saying, “I would like to go in and meet with President Obama.” The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looks at the man and says, “Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Obama. I’ve told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the President and no longer resides here. Don’t you understand?”
The old man looks at the Marine and says,“Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it.” The Marine snaps to attention, salutes, and says, “See you tomorrow, Sir!”
When you pay people to have babies, don’t be surprised when they have babies.
When you pay people to come to your country illegally, don’t be surprised when they come to your country illegally.
When you pay people to NOT work, don’t be surprised when they do NOT work.
So he was off a couple of decimal points. No big deal.
FORWARD!
The Obama administration promised the healthcare.gov website would be fixed by today.
They moved the goalposts AGAIN and said there would be SOME improvements by today. So now they can deny they said it would be totally fixed by today.
