Only one week before the launch of the Healthcare.gov website, top aides in the Obama administration expressed concerns that the rollout would become the exact disaster and embarrassment they feared, according to an exclusive new report from Fox News.
Chief White House correspondent Ed Henry reported Wednesday night on confidential documents obtained by Fox News showing the concerns of the administration’s top Internet Technology officials that the website would be “unavailable” – which contradicts President Obama’s statement at last week’s press conference that his administration would not have “rolled out” the website if they knew it “wasn’t going to work the way it was supposed to.”
Deputy Chief Information Officer Henry Chao of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services went so far as to suggest in an email that the administration needed a plan to address the public when it learned the site didn’t work.
When Obama claimed in last week's presser that "no one told him" the web site wouldn't work, my jaw dropped.
Here's the biggest, most complex, (peace time) undertaking in American history and the CEO of the operation (Obama) never bothered to walk down the hall and say, "By the way, is the web site gonna work?"
I was incredulous.
But, even if it was true, in a similar situation, there's no way I'd admit that, publicly.
People get emotionally attached to ideas and "sides" they take. No matter how often it's pointed out they might be wrong they stay true to their emotional need to have been right. He knows this and was addressing those dopes. They needed a lifeline to continue to support the fact they ever supported him.
My very vey liberal mother and sister told me years ago a lie doesn't really exist if you can't prove it...huh?
