Flash: President Obama plans to address the nation about the "glitch" on the Affordable Care" website. (Fun Fact: the Affordable Care Act is not affordable for the average health care consumer.) This is not a glitch it is a FUBAR.
The fact that Obama had a four years to get this site up and running, a site that was developed by a Canadian company, a company that was fired for a previous screw-up, should tell you something about the thinking that didn't go into Obamacare. Craigslist or even DealDash.com works better than the Obamacare site, and the government spent over $400 million on the deal. But so what--it's our tax money, not Obama's.Okay, so maybe Obama did not have a full four years to get things in order, but he sure had a lot more time than Craigslist had when they went into business.
We have heard many promises made by Pres. Obama, and we have heard many lies. If Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act, as it is so laughingly referred to, was managed by a private institution all heads would roll. Katherine Sibelius would have been fired on the spot after spending their investors money and failing to produce results. But with government our money is like a drug; they cannot get enough of the fix to satisfy themselves.
I believe that had the GOP not shut down the government and challenged Obamacare, and allowed it to fail, they would be in a stronger position for the midterm elections and for 2016. Ted Cruz may have meant well when he filibustered, or perhaps it was meant as a self – serving ploy, but had he done nothing the Democrats would have looked like fools today. In the long run Cruz may have done something good for the party, but in the liberal mainstream news media he and the party, particularly the tea party, has been crucified. It's a shame that it turned out this way but hopefully the misery that the public will feel with Obamacare will turn opinion around.
