Nothing to see here: Obama puts happy face on disastrous Obamacare rollout
Washington Times ^ | October 21, 2013 | Dave Boyer

President Obama tried to put a happy face Monday on the disastrous rollout of the Obamacare website, urging frustrated consumers to call a toll-free number or mail in applications via “snail mail” while the administration works feverishly to fix computer glitches.

“Nobody is madder than me about the fact that the website isn’t working as well as it should, which means it’s going to get fixed,” Mr. Obama said at the White House. “In the meantime, you can bypass the website.”

In a stunning admission of the HealthCare.gov website’s early failure, Mr. Obama said call centers are being filled with extra staffers to process phoned-in applications for health insurance, and other consumers can download applications to send in through the U.S. postal service.

“We are doing everything we can possibly do to get the websites working better, faster, sooner,” Mr. Obama said. But in the meantime, he added, “You can sign up to get covered in other ways.”

He also took a swipe at congressional Republicans, saying “it’s time for folks to stop rooting for its failure.”

Bypass the $500,000,000 Obamacare paperweight and call in or use the U.S. Postal Service.

Good luck on that medial treatment.

I read where someone just called and they told her she had to fill out an online application first.

So obamster “puts a happy face on it...” — the desolation and dissolution of the FINEST HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD.

It is hard not to be grieving at this desolation. I am praying to see it through God’s view.

“Nobody’s madder than me”. No matter what the outrage, the tragedy, the waste, the problem, war weariness, you fill in the blank, nobody is more aware, more upset, more caring, more loving, more determined, more perfectly aligned to the issue and its solution than Obama.

I am so sick of this F***head and his platitudinous bullshit.

I am so sorry. I try not to curse. Obama is winning. He is like a sick little bastard child that delights in prodding and poking small animals to cause pain and to provoke them into biting back, so he can then kill them and say “uhhhhhhh uhhhhhh I had to do it! it was trying to bite me”

Obama is itching to get all of us to become sufficiently provoked as to lose our cool and act illegally, act violently, give him the excuse to impose his dearest wet dream: Martial Law and every dictatorial E.O. that goes with it.

Or not... He won’t get me to go first.

At this point, it's more like gloating, which, while generally unseemly, seems to be called for in this case.

I can only think, “How long O LORD?” — but, unfortunately, it’s barely beginning.
