Forefront of. >> let me get your take, doug. >> i think there may be problems but we dont know, the only thing we do know that chip said correctly, a lot of problems with the website. they hired a general contractor to come in and fix it and what the president says will be five weeks. i think we have to wait that time. bottom line if by december 15th we dont have this system up and running and obama care working, we have a real problem. >> that brings me to the fox news poll. it is a poll that s...
