Sebelius: Obamacare website problems blindsided the President

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

President Barack Obama knew there would be "glitches" and said ahead of time there would be problems in the October 1 rollout of a key part of his health care initiative, but "there is no question that we did not anticipate the scale of problems with the website," White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Wednesday.

Before it even launched, red flags went up about the Obamacare website. Health insurance companies complained about it, and the site crashed during a test run. But nobody told the President of any of it, the nation's health chief told CNN.

Kathleen Sebelius said President Barack Obama didn't hear that there may be problems with the sign-up portal for his signature health care law until it went live on October 1. That's when the site nosedived into a technical abyss.

President Obama seems to get more information about what his cabinet is doing from CNN than he does from his own staff. For somebody that spends more time doing Congress's job by Executive Fiat instead of managing the Executive Branch, it is no wonder.

It would appear they are trying to assume the blame to give Obama cover.

I admire loyalty.

If this were republicans they would be writing a book blaming their boss.

Former Bush press secretary backs Obama,writes book trashes old boss.
