#1 "It is Bush's fault and the Republicans" was missing. Of course, "It is Fox News fault" is also missing.

#2 James Taranto:

Count Bloomberg's Margaret Carlson among the ObamaCare supporters who are unhappy, even angry, with the HealthCare.gov debacle:

"The rollout of Obamacare had to be absolutely perfect. Obama needed to treat it like a 21st-century Manhattan Project... Instead, he took the pedestrian route and spent $400 million on a Canadian company that our Good Neighbors to the North once fired for incompetence."

Carlson is being unfair here. ObamaCare is actually just like the Manhattan Project, a government program that produced an awesomely destructive bomb.

The website was done by a fully American subsidiary of CGI...maybe the mistake was getting Americans to do it.

I am sure, like Obama, CGI will get to the bottom of the problem.

#10 The website was done by a fully American subsidiary of CGI...maybe the mistake was getting Americans to do it.

Rather like Americans subsidizing Canada's national defense.

Sarcasm aside, perhaps it was because the website wasn't designed and built for the intended user?
