Jon Stewart mocks the plagued Obamacare website
You don't have to like Jon Stewart in order to acknowledge that once in awhile he can be funny. Jon is a die hard Obamaphile, there is not getting around that. He is what he is, but to his credit, sometimes he actually wonders off the reservation and mocks the absurdity which is the administration of Dear Leader. A few days ago, Jon just went off on the problems facing the Obamacare website. I bet a spokesperson gave Stewart a not so friendly call after that segment aired. His comedic put down of the Obamacare website was brutal, because he was being so absurd in exposing the problem with it. It's a must watch.

Good Lord, how much more evidence do we need that this is a bad idea. Become enlightened and listen to this.
The Truth About Obamacare
http://youtu.be/E9r93OxpE8g
Whether you support the AHCA or not (I do support it), the rollout of the website was a complete disaster. Tech experts have stated that the site was built using 10-year-old technology. And of course the opponents of the law will use this screw up as fodder for their "on-going" attacks against the law. But there again, that's politics.
However, there's one thing that the opponents of the law can't count on. Technical issues are repairable. Once the site is repaired and functioning properly the opponents will need another issue to attack. Perhaps they do as Sarah Palin had done and "create" another death panel.

Not politics in this case, it's reality. There are a lot of un answered questions. I have a question.How did the "no bid contract" to build the Obamacare website go to the Canadian company who's CEO was a classmate of Michelle Obama? What are the odds right allen? I was puzzled when I heard that the Obamacare website contract went to a Canadian company and not an American company, and then I really started becoming skeptical when I discovered that it was a no bid contract at that. At that point, something didn't smell right. With this bunch, that wasn't out of the ordinary. So am I and the rest of us to believe that CGI was the only company that could build this website and no company in the United States couldn't have done it?

You got it wrong allen. We want the website fully functional. You see with the website having "technical difficulties" people can' experience by the millions the full stick shock of the premiums and deductibles that are on the the website. You see, the GOP wanting to delay this by a year would have been giving Obama and his party a life line, because this wouldn't be an issue going into the midterm elections.
Now Democrats for re election want a delay Now if this is going to turn out so good, why ask for a delay?
Obamacare is making the point for us in validating everything we said was going to happen This can't be blamed on the tea party, conservative, the GOP, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, this is all on Pelosi, Reid and Obama and everyone who voted for this. I told you before,
p allen "Perhaps they do as Sarah Palin had done and "create" another death panel. "
Speaking of Sarah Palin allen, looks like she was proven "RIGHT" in what she said. Oh it was such a joke on the left, but she just proved that she far more knowledgeable on the reality on the end results of rationed medicine then liberals are
From the Hill
"ObamaCare’s cost-cutting board — memorably called a “death panel” by Sarah Palin — is facing growing opposition from Democrats who say it will harm people on Medicare."
Um, who are the people who are on Medicare allen? Young people or elderly people?
CB;".How did the "no bid contract" to build the Obamacare website go to the Canadian company who's CEO was a classmate of Michelle Obama?".
First off, the background on the contractor (CGI) who screwed this thing up, reads as follows;
CGI Federal's winning bid stretches back to 2007, when it was one of 16 companies to get certified on a $4 billion "indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity" contract for upgrading Medicare and Medicaid's systems. Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts .
Yet, that's no excuse for the major screw up's of the website. And if Michelle Obama had anything to do with the hiring of CGI, if found to be true, the White House should be held accountable. As far as no bid contracts, I've always been against them. There's no reason or excuse to close off competitors in any government contract bidding process.
HOWEVER.... Where was your disgust when the Bush administration gave Halliburton, who's former C.E.O. Dick Cheney, was the current Vice President of the United States? The fact is YOU SHOWED NO CONCERN NOR DISGUST! As a matter of fact YOU DEFENDED THEIR ACTIONS! But I digress...
I'll give you a pass on your shameless hypocrisy because,- well... you just don't know any better! All administrations, congresses and Washington in general operates this way. The fact is, they all do it.
CB;"You got it wrong allen. We want the website fully functional".
"WE" want the website functional? Who are the "WE" you're talking about Tyrone? If you're talking about Tea Party Conservatives, "you're" dead wrong. The T-Baggers want the entire law struck down. Why would you need a functional website for a law that doesn't exist?
CB;"Now Democrats for re election want a delay Now if this is going to turn out so good, why ask for a delay?".
Huh?? Because the website doesn't work right... you know the one you think should be "fully functional" that's not "fully functional?" DUUUUHH?
CB;"Um, who are the people who are on Medicare allen? Young people or elderly people?".
I'd like to use a "lifeline", can I “Phone A Friend?”
