Why do you suppose the POTUS hasn't come out and (sm)

Posted: Oct 19, 2013

made a statement on the problems with signing up for healthcare. He comes out and talks for other less important things all the time, why not this? I would say this is a big deal. If I called something my signature achievement, I'd certainly want to show people I was involved in making it work.

That is a good idea. - Why don't you

write one of your representatives and make a suggestion? Maybe he's too busy trying to un---- some of the mess caused by the shutdown to get to that just this minute, but I would imagine there are at least a couple of folks working on this.

Already did. - sm

Obama acknowledged that “like every new law, every new product rollout, there are going to be some glitches in the sign-up process along the way that we will fix.”

He said in its first hours “the site has been running more slowly than it normally will.” He attributed the problems to the fact that more than one million people had visited the site before 7 a.m. Tuesday, which he said was five times more users than had ever visited Medicare.gov.

“We’re going to speeding things up in the next few hours to handle all this demand that exceeds anything we had expected,” he promised.

Obama said a few weeks ago Apple had rolled out a new mobile operating system and had found a glitch which the company then fixed. “I don’t remember anybody suggesting Apple should stop selling iPhones or iPads -- or threatening to shut down the company if they didn’t. That’s not we do things in America. We don’t actually root for failure.”

You would think... - A lot of folks now

seem to be hoping and praying the country will go down the toilet and are getting p----d off because it's not happened yet. Go fig.

That was it? You're serious? Really? - me

'in the next few hours', 'exceeds anything we expected'(really, sir?), 'running slowly' (not at all, sir), 'glitches' (major architectural fail by a crony). OMG. You're happy with this? Some people are easily pleased, I guess.

Simply answered the OP's inquiry. - sm

OP asked "Why do you suppose the POTUS hasn't come out and made a statement on the problems with signing up for healthcare."

Never said I was happy or pleased or not. You read way more into my post than necessary.

I think it was a demonstration that no matter what - the answer if it doesn't condemn

POTUS it will not be acceptable to this poster.

17+ million visitors to site, 476,000 signed up, - 7 million expected to enroll -- when they can!

This is tremendous interest, to put it mildly and a temporary problem for the 7 million. However long it goes on.

My heart bleeds for those who try to sign up and discover that, because they live in Republican dominated states that refused to implement the 100%-reimbursed (from blue-state taxpayers) Medicaid extension, they will still not have health insurance.

targeted Tea Partier and Patriot organizations (they did not target Move on and Think Progress) because an election was coming up? Could that be it? Could it also be there was a cover up of Benghazi because there was an election coming up and Obama wanted to retain power? I've been mulling these things over in my mind. What do liberals, specifically, think about this? ...

there are leaks coming from the White House? Two conversations leaked - the one with the Australian prime minister and the other with Mexico.

No one wants to be on the board, so one guy and the management company handle everything. I've been on the board before and don't really want to do that again. I think things are managed in an okay (not great) fashion, but I'm worried about not having annual meetings. Is it worth creating a fuss about or should I just keep quiet since I'm not really willing to serve on the board. Just wondering what others think. ...

Surely, the question is puzzling to many on both sides of the aisle. There are several reasons, in my opinion: 1. The Clintons have been getting away with sleaze - and worse - throughout their public lives. There is a part of Hillary that believes she will escape consequences one more time. 2. Hillary sees herself as "entitled" to this Presidency. 3. Hillary has little or no regard for either the intelligence OR the character of her supporters. If you support Hil ...

Take a look at the dire situation that America was experiencing in 1981, when Reagan took office, and take a look at what the economy looked like 3 years later. What Clinton meant to say (his teleprompter malfunctioned) was "No president who's as inept as this one could fix the economy in 4 years - and I doubt he can do it in 8 years either, if he keeps on going the way he's going." ...

Yesterday, with Bob Dole visiting the Senate in his wheelchair in support, the Senate voted on ratifying the treaty adopting the U.N. version of our Americans with Disabilities Act, passed under President George H. W. Bush. In spite of bipartisan leadership by 2 war heroes, John McCain and John Kerry, and strong support among many of the GOP Senators, radical Republicans in the Senate voted AGAINST it. Why? Well, as Rick Santorum explained in his new column for a far-right birther rag, Wo ...

Even though a nation of heavily gerrymandered congressional districts didn't see much turnover from party to party, a number of the most reactionary candidates have been rejected this time.

CNN - Pope Francis challenged America Thursday to embrace millions of undocumented immigrants and join a global campaign against climate change and poverty, wading undaunted into the nation's volatile politics in a historic address to Congress. Francis also called for a fairer world economy, the abolition of the death penalty, the protection of ethnic and religious minorities, the outlawing of the global "blood" trade in arms and the protection of the family. ...

In white collar types of investigations, we often didn't interview or even contact the subject until we knew we had them cornered by the evidence. Clinton - and perhaps Bill as well - might be facing more than one indictment because there's the influence peddling and the malfeasance with the Clinton Foundation as well. The Clintons are such unabashed scofflaws and grifters that I'm amazed that there's even one person in the country who continues to deny it. I gue ...
