When the Democratic and Republican chairmen of the congressional intelligence commitees both agree that HealthCare.gov, Obamacare’s version of Internet Hell, should be taken down for security reasons, it’s time to pay attention.
Democrat Dianne Feinstein, who has chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee for the last five years, startled Bob Schieffer on CBS’s Face the Nation today when she said, “I felt and I said this directly to the president’s chief of staff, that they ought to take down the website until it was right. They believe that they need to keep it running and that they can sort out the difficulties.” One way to interpret that is that the political survival of President Obama’s signature achievement takes precedence over the cybersecurity of all Americans. As I wrote last month, the White House has shown an astonishing lack of concern for Obamacare’s security vulnerabilities.
Her House counterpart, GOP representative Mike Rogers of Michigan, concurred: “They need to take the site down, stabilize it, meaning they can’t continue to add code every week, and then they need to stress test the system. Unfortunately, Bob, none of that has happened. And they admit it’s going to take six months. . . . . That is unacceptable for the protection of privacy of Americans’ information.”

All I can say is THANK GOD the program was designed by mrs. bammy's buddy. If it had been designed by anyone else daddy bammy would be crying sabotage.
Is this the same government that has tried time and again to take over charge of internet security?
Ummm, yes.
10:22 If it was designed by ANY competent company, it would work. I have people who could build a better site for under $500... yet they have spent MILLIONS on a http://TURD.
Also, Feinstein and Intelligence should never be in the same sentence.
Leave it up! Let all the low informationers sign up to see their bank accounts cleaned out! Then, the TEA partiers can once again say..."I told you so"...
Train wrecks are fun to watch!
We've got a problem 5:37. Those people you make reference to have no bank accounts.
But usually they wreck and that's it 5:38. This is the wreck that keeps on wrecking. This is the MOTHER OF ALL WRECKS!
