"War Room" Notes Describe IT Chaos At Healthcare.gov

dcblogs writes "U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has released 175 pages of "War Room" notes — a collection of notes by federal officials dealing with the problems at Healthcare.gov. They start Oct. 1, the launch day. The War Room notes catalog IT problems — dashboards weren't showing data, servers didn't have the right production data, third party systems weren't connecting to verify data, a key contractor had trouble logging on, and there wasn't enough server capacity to handle the traffic, or enough people on the help desks to answer calls. To top it off, some personnel needed for the effort were furloughed because of the shutdown. Volunteers were needed to work weekends, but there were bureaucratic complications."

    Yup, you're a RINO.

    They house did keep sending bills to fund the government. Harry 'why would we want to do that' Reid would rather kick veterans out of the World War II memorial than talk rationally about the issues raised. What were the onerous negotiating points? Delaying the individual mandate a year. Eliminate the tax on medical devices. Eliminate the subsidy for congress. A statesman could have met them half way, but that's not Harry's way. He'd rather just call people names, just like the president.

    As for the rest of your nonsense, I don't get the vitriol towards the Taxed Enough Already party. There is nothing radical in their platform, Are there occasional kooks in the party? sure. Just like the kook's in the Democrat party, like Allan Grayson. And how about Carlos Danger? Does he represent all Democrats? Maxine Waters? Charles Baron? They are all nuts.
