The leadership debacle of Obamacare gives the GOP and now the media open season on the healthcare computer system break down...even some dems trying to save them selves in the 2014 election are now calling for a year delay in putting the system on line....as we know technology changes about every six months...the system was put together hastily with 10 year old technology....there is no excuse for this system breaking down....google operates without break down with 166 million to 174 million hits a month and yahoo recieves even more hits without breakdown...

HHS administrator Sebelius should be fired...she is responsible for over seeing that everything goes smoothly....the so called clitch could cost well over a billion dollars of our tax money....that is not a clitch peope that is a throw away of a computer system and start over with modern technology.

I can understand why Obama wants this fixed now...2014 elections R not that far away and maybe americans will forget....I doubt that.

As to the leadership failure, they had 3 years to prepare for the launch. Did it take us that long to win World War II?

As to Americans forgetting, no one is better at mis-direction than Obama, so some time before the 2014 elections, he'll launch "Operation Get Obamacare Off The Front Pages". He'll find some issue to distract attention away from Obamacare, certainly aN issue on which he (and the media) can demonize the GOP, probably immigration reform. Because as we all know, Republicans despise Latinos. Just ask Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz.

In any event, I suspect that once the glitches are fixed, the techincal problems will be the least of anyone's concerns. The real issue wiull be that an overwhelming majority of folks will see signicant increases in healthcare costs, not the decreases that Obama promised. Kind of like the promise that unemployment would stay under 8% if Obama got his stimulus bill, remember that promise? He's not exactly a skilled prognosticator...what the heck, he was only off by a few million jobs...i guess the unemployment statistics are racist.

I hope the Republican strategy is to just sit back and watch this unfold.
100% of the Democrats up for reelection 2014 are now asking for the mandate on individuals to be postponed.
I predict in 2014 a GOP controlled House and the Senate. You idiots voted for it , you own it

I predict they'll keep the house, and gain senate seats, not sure if they'll regain the Senate. This is a very favorable midterm for the GOP. I believe 21 Democrat seats are up for election, and only 14 Republican seats. Some of those Democrats were elected thanks to Obama's coattails in 2008, and some of those guys will be very vulnerable in a midterm, without Obama's coattails to ride. I don't know if the GOP will get what they need (6 seats?), but they couldn't ask for a better scenario.

The Obamacare news just keeps getting worse everyday.
Besides insurance companies dropping out of some states on top of that
United Health Care is dropping %10-%15 of their doctors nationwide.
Didn't I hear Obama say "if you wanted to keep your healthcare ins. and
your Doctor you could."
This is bcoming a nation wide disaster. :(

Depends on what side of the fence you live on.

If you believe in Liberty and Personal Responsibility you lose.

If you are a Tyrant member of the ruling class who wants the masses dependent upon your benevolence or someone who wants the Government to take care of your every need and willingly give up personal freedom for perceived security you won.

You summed it up nicely FP.
I would doubt most of those who voted for these free bees, or want them,
never broke a sweat working in their lives.
