Kathleen Sebelius testified today in front of Congress. Among other things the Secretary of Health and Human Services said that the Obamacare exchange website had never crashed. Meanwhile, as if to emphasize just how idiotic Sebelius' claim is, the Obamacare exchange website crashed again about twenty minutes before the testimony began and remains down as I write this.
If someone had predicted this mess just a month ago, no one in Washington would have believed it. Remember, at that time the Republicans were asking for a one year delay in Obamacare as part of a deal to fund the government, and the Democrats were adamantly opposing that request. Clearly, neither president Obama or the Democrats believed that the website would fail like this, or they would have taken the deal offered by the Republicans as a way to avoid this incredible embarrassment. That makes the testimony from the contractor that it warned both HHS and the White House that there would be serious problems with the web site even stranger. How can these people be so incompetent and still be running the country?
