The Latest Obama Scandal - Fallout Beginning
MICHELLE OBAMA'S PRINCETON CLASSMATE INVOLVED IN OBAMACARE WEBSITE HIRE- Was Fellow Member of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni
We learn today through the Daily Caller and investigative reporter Audrey Hudson, herself, that Hudson's home was broken into and searched by a government swat team after it was learned that she was working on a story about hiring of the 'no bid' contractor to build the new 'Affordable Care Act' or 'Obamacare' website. Hudson said on a radio program Friday afternoon that she believed the government was 'out to get' her for uncovering the connection between President Obama's wife, Michelle Obama, and a purported college friend who was awarded the handling of a 'no bid' hire for the major new health care website. According to the Daily Caller First Lady's Princeton classmate is a senior vice president at company that built failed Obamacare website. Further connecting dots we learn that the classmate, Toni Townes-Whitley, and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obama
are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni. MICHELLE OBAMA'S PRINCETON CLASSMATE INVOLVED IN OBAMACARE WEBSITE HIRE Read more: http://dailycaller.com/#ixzz2inOyIlIh Also, see 'Top 20 Views of Obamacare
Other problems with The Affordable Health Care Act, commonly known as 'Obamacare', have already come under question by a majority of the public . Now the new problems with the website have only made things worse, creating havoc for people , many with illnesses, in need of new health care while alienating an already frustrated public and many politicians
Putting aside any conflicting relationship between the President's wife and the Obamacare website bid and job, the bottom line is that most everyone agrees that the website, some three years in the works, is not working and causing a lot of problems. Given the time to work on it and cost, problems to this degree something should be done to recoup the money lost and to penalize those involved in both contracting for the website builders and the website builders, themselves, who failed. If nothing else, those web builders should return any funds they've collected.
WHY THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED
First off, new websites can generally be up in running in days or weeks with a good, competent team working on them. Even complex websites shouldn't take months or years as has taken the 'Healthcare.gov' website to complete - and it's still far from complete. We're told now that the website won't be fixed until around late November. No doubt the continued delay is because the new team of contractors is having to fix the many errors that they tell us they've inherited. They say that even now less than three in 10 people are been able to gain access and register for new health insurance via the website - and it can take many hours.
As a result , many people who counted on having this insurance by now have been put in a precarious position without insurance . This could be especially serious for people with ongoing medical issues .
'GOVERNMENT TENDS TO HIRE FIRMS THAT ARE BETTER AT SECURING CONTRACTS THAN THEY ARE ARE DEVELOPING WEBSITES'
That, from the Huffington Post October 10, 2013, based on lead source from the Washington Post, which goes on,
'The
website glitches plaguing the high-profile roll out of President Obama’s health care reform law aren’t just an Obamacare problem, they’re a government problem.
The federal government spends
more than $80 billion per year on information technology, but the resulting websites often take years to build and are glitchy once they launch, according to experts cited by the Washington Post. That’s because instead of hiring savvy Silicon Valley programmers -- like those who worked on websites for Obama’s campaigns -- to build the systems, the government tends to contract with firms that are better at securing contracts than they are at developing web sites.
Last week when the government launched
healthcare.gov, the site where Americans can buy health coverage through the exchanges set up under Obamacare, few were able to get past error screens and long wait times. While White House officials claimed a big reason for the glitches was
overwhelming traffic,
IT experts told Reuters that the problems were more likely the result of a problem in the system’s design.'
FAULTY CONTRACTORS SHOULD GIVE MONEY BACK
So, we have another issue which seems to be ignored. That is, what do you do about the website builders who have cost the country more than the $634 million they were reportedly paid.? It will actually be a lot more since the new contractors will have to be paid additionally what wouldn't have been had the first contractors, done the job correctly.
Thus, we have the necessity for the 'monkey court, ' as one hack politician called last week's congressional investigation of the failed website. It's necessary if nothing else to recoup those funds. More over, the culprits of this failed website should be charged for not only the cost but the major problems it has caused millions of people.
'WEBSITE OVERLOADED'
This is now, obviously, a real lame alibi given by the government for the failed website. There was much more to the problems that that. Many large websites like Amazon handle millions of orders daily.
We haven't even addressed the issue of why the other four companies who sent in bids for the website job weren't even considered
BOTTOM LINE
It should be imperative that perpetrators be found and punished for the expense and problems they have caused. This would be the people responsible for hiring the negligent contractors even moreso than the failed contractors themselves, who owe nothing more than to return any funds received if they're not able to fix the problem website.
