From the Chicago Tribune: President Obama was assured that the healthcare insurance website was ready to launch on Oct. 1, even as private contractors and some administration officials knew the site had failed in early testing, a senior White House advisor said Sunday.
Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer said the president repeatedly asked about the healthcare.gov website, a key piece of his 2010 healthcare overhaul legislation, and was told it would meet his expectations.
Along with the president, Pfeiffer hyped the website in the weeks before the troubled launch, promising it would “be a consumer experience unmatched by anything in government, but also in the private sector.”
“We did believe that,” Pfeiffer said on ABC's "This Week."
The "results do not match up to his expectations or the American people's expectations," he added. "It's inexcusable. There is no question about that.”
The healthcare.gov site has repeatedly crashed in its first month, and was taken down for repairs much of the weekend. Consumers have faced numerous difficulties trying to sign onto the site, or get adequate information about the new insurance plans. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-obamacare-website-20131103,0,6578841.story
If this story is true, then why hasn't been anybody been fired over such a horrible failure that has affected millions of people?
But I think Obama knew what was going on and is trying to hide this. You would think, since this is his legacy, he, himself, would have tried the web site to see how it works and gain an understanding of the web site.
You would think he would want to see himself if the web site worked because if it didn't, he will look like a fool- and now he looks like a fool.
So, because of the web site, Obama looks like a fool and no one has been fired. Why? Maybe Obama doesn't want the truth to come out?
Why hasn't this happened:
