It is a textbook example of how not to roll something out. and we had a long enrollment period and delayed and eviscerated and they said penalties are not counting and given extensions. and as we got to the day, they are still not able to get the technology right. >> sorry, what was today supposed to be then, chris? >> today was supposed to be the last check before the uss obama care launch is screaming off of the launchpad in a future of full coverage of americans and all of that stuff, and fou...

Glitches. wendell goler has that part of the story tonight. four years after the president signed the affordable care act, the final day for enrollment arrived with computer problems reminiscent of the websites rollout last fall. a bug took hours longer to fix than the scheduled early morning maintenance window. a last-day crush of people trying to enroll overloaded the website in the afternoon. and another glitch on the white house countdown clock told people they had another two weeks left t...

Irking people trying to get health care. if theyre standing in line -- >> are they standing in line. >> thats the premise. its like standing in line to get into a theater. >> or vote. they keep the polls open. but theres an honest system. clearly there are issues or they wouldnt be extending this. some of the other extensions i would tend to agree with you. but if indeed youre in line, the only odd part is that theres an honor system. >> its like wind sprints in football. just check the honor sy...

What is in it. why another extension? mo >> we are talking about extensions, deadlines, delays and this comes to two points: one is the administration has proven it isnt competent to lay this out. there is a fundamental problem and we are having to take over 1/6th of the economy and government cant run this big decision and we are seeing the results of government trying to take on too much and replacing the choice of markets and the individuals. >> unbelievable. karl rove. interesting analysis t...
