Obama: 'No one is madder than me' about healthcare website

he's right no one is as upset as he, republicans are all giddy and getting a tingle up there legs at the thought of their denying you of health care may come to fruition.
President Obama said Monday his administration was spearheading a "tech surge" to fix the problems plaguing the online ObamaCare insurance exchanges.
"We are doing everything we can possibly do to get the websites working better, faster, sooner," the president said, adding that the White House had recruited the "best and brightest" from the private sector to help tackle the technical problems.
 "No one is madder than me that the website isn't working as it should — which means it's going to get fixed," Obama declared.
Facing that challenge, Obama adopted the role of pitchman, insisting that the insurance available under the program was worth fighting through a sign-up process that "hasn't worked as smoothly as it's supposed to work."
"The product, the health insurance, is good. The prices are good. It is a good deal. People don't just want it, they're showing up to buy it," Obama said.
i equate this to seat belt safety we had to be dragged kicking and screaming and like this faced fines for non compliance to a law that literally can save your life, today's ins. co.'s can't make such a promise they have more categories on non payment than payment.
Insisting that the Affordable Care Act was "much more" than "just a website," Obama rattled off examples of Americans saving money on insurance plans that offered greater coverage. He said the consumer protections and benefits at the core of the program were good enough that Americans should remain patient.
"The point is, the essence of the law, the health insurance that is available to people, is working just fine," Obama argued.
The president also suggested that consumers eager to get covered try applying in person or over the phone, rather than through the embattled Web portal.
But that proposal, coupled with the president's admission that there remain serious problems with the website, fueled Republican cries to delay key aspects of the program.
this will be difficult only if we submit to the republican distraction from the benefits and trying to direct your focus to the technical malfunction, like a magician or someone seeking to mislead you by focusing on that which can be argued but not the real reward at the end, smoke a mirrors are their specialty but remember in the end it's just a trick.  
a bunch of destructive nay sayers using the talking points verbatim does not make it true it makes it an attempt to brain wash you, nothing is exactly the same spoken by so many without rehearsal and a script. which makes it just a play with bad ratings.
