"Former official: Admin refused to bring in outside help for ObamaCare website for fear GOP would subpoena them"

Would Mr. Flip Wilson's Representatives please pick up the white courtesy phone. The Demotards are stealing your shtick...

“those companies could be subpoenaed by Hill Republicans, the former aide said. So the task fell to trusted campaign tech experts”

So do they think “trusted campaign tech experts” can’t be called to testify or is it they know they will lie under oath?

[wastoute]

LOL. I took a programming course from the guy that invented Pong. Of corse, that was a few years back...

America will soon realize how far it has descended — and for what... the worst it has to offer.

This happens all the time with criminals. They can't advertise for the best help when planning an armored car heist since the cops will surely find out. So, they have to be sneaky about it and hire friends of friends of friends.

They end up with guys whose guns jam, who forget to bring ammo, who show up stoned, who end up shooting each other, and who forget to put gas in the tank of the 1980 Chevy someone provided for transportation and getaway.

It's all the cops' fault!

Congress can’t subpoena “trusted campaign tech experts”?

They can, but the trusted experts can be counted on to lie, cover up, and totally snow Congress. When it's all over, Congress would praise them for their cooperation and commend their efforts to put together a complex system, the likes of which the universe has never seen.

I just read today that this same company has approximately five contracts with the US govt.!

Let's hope they are in charge of obama's secret gun-grab/registration data base.

Seems the Zero administration is already creating the meme that the Obamcare roll out failure was the fault of the Republicans. Watch this theme get more and more legs for the LIV.

Otherwise known as criminal negligence and willful misappropriation of public funds.

Bingo! I have been thinking, how could this happen? We have brilliant programmers capable of just about anything. Military technology next to none, NSA, NASA, the list is limitless. Yet, they can not put together a viable website in three years? Something is really wrong.

[trebb]

So the task fell to trusted campaign tech experts.

More proof that Tea Party Conservatives are smarter than Dimocraps...

[ontap]

If you think their web sites a piece of crap....wait till you see their healthcare program!!!

[bert]

-———Why anyone on either side still wants Sebelius in charge, I have no idea.-——

The tried and true. Lie, lie, lie. She is the lie.

Think fst and furious, think bengazi.

The lie is the truth, the lie is told over and over and over..... it is still the truth.

So long as they all exist, there is no possible solution.

Like the nobility of France in 1792, they must be gone

[ontap]

Yea! I heard they figured it would be fixed by the time the shut down ended.....wrong!!!!!

[Arrowhead1952]

Yet, they can not put together a viable website in three years?

An elephant is a mouse built to government specifications.

As we in the military used to say, "Always remember your weapons were made by the lowest bidder".

[tacticalogic]

I cannot wait for this thing to just fall apart.

If you think this is a trainwreck, just wait. Selling insurance is easy compared to actually delivering health care.

“From those efforts ...cam the efforts to condense time to meet deadlines by throwing 9 men at a project that represented 9 man months to finish....thus theoretically gating it done in one month.”

Hey, it works so well with making babies, doesn’t it? One pregnant lady + 9 months = 1 baby. 9 pregnant ladies + 1 month = 1 baby. Right? Right?

[GOPJ]

Ummm, Obama’s a democrat. The MSM isn't going to ‘scream’ anything but love, praise, and compassion for the small ‘glitches’ that have occurred. If this cluster mess had happened under Bush the MSM would have it on the front page every day... Screaming their little heads off...high stepping their outrage. Eff the New York Times and all their sycophants.

[Grampa Dave]

My wife was watching a local tv news this morning, and the female talking head said that the ObozoScare sites are shut down for maintenance this weekend.

Only “hundreds” have been able to sign up for a health care plan at the Obamacare websites. The Wall Street Journal reported:

Okay now we will try the landline # 1-800-318-2596 listed above or 1-800-318-2596 = 1-800-FAU-CKYO.

[TigersEye]

Never mind. Don’t let me interrupt your “we’re doomed” reverie.
