Oracle Deflects Blame For Troubled Oregon Health Care Site

itwbennett (1594911) writes "Oracle is gearing up for a fight with officials in Oregon over its role developing an expensive health insurance exchange website that still isn't fully operational. In a letter obtained by the Oregonian newspaper this week, Oracle co-president Safra Catz said that Oregon officials have provided the public with a 'false narrative' concerning who is to blame for Cover Oregon's woes. In the letter, Catz pointed out that Oregon's decision to act as their own systems integrator on the project, using Oracle consultants on a time-and-materials basis, was 'criticized frequently by many'. And as far as Oracle is concerned, 'Cover Oregon lacked the skills, knowledge or ability to be successful as the systems integrator on an undertaking of this scope and complexity,' she added."

You could drop Oracle on a thousand carrot diamond and they'd still turn it into a steaming pile of shit. It's Oracle, it's what they do best.

But I've saved the best for last. Brace yourselves for this one, which features--guess who?--none other than Jeremy Reimer saying, and I quote,

So, APK, how's that lawsuit going that you pretend to have against me? Any luck getting Shaw to cut off my internet access? How does it feel to be the laughingstock of the entire Internet?

Looks like another APK mystery has been solved.

Having fun yet, Sparky? I sure as hell am. :D
