of the time. and so, the sla that the government s giving the people is that only 90% of the time it s going to be up. and then the security question s a whole other question. which is just which is my point, is that i would think that he needs to be talking to kathleen sebelius and the people in there. why he brings these outsiders in to tell him this, that the website s pathetic. i mean, if you watch any television show on any network any time, you would have gotten that. you wouldn t have gotten the nice pictures with all these very important people. but i don t get, like, you know, what is it that they could tell him or get him to do or change things for the american people by sitting around that table? well, i d want to see kathleen in front of those executives and what those executives would have told her if it was their website and their mastermind project that was failing. what s the security situation on this website now? how do you evaluate it? right. so, like the c
not fixed. darrell issa joins us. good evening, sir. good evening, greta, and thanks for covering this great question of is your information safe today. we know that it wasn t safe on october 1st, and we can t get answers for what has and hasn t been fixed. how do you know that it wasn t safe on october 1st? of course, i ve read your letter you sent today to hhs sebelius secretary. i ve asked for a meeting with her. hopefully, she ll agree tomorrow. this is one of the challenges that the reports are gleaning. let them know that on october 1st, they weren t ready. and that s the challenge, is why did they go forward knowing they weren t ready? why is it that they consider these risks reasonable with your information? all right, the miter report, what is that, for the viewers? well, miter was a company that was hired to do assessments of security risk on these sites, and they found endless security risk. prior to october 1st? prior to october 1st.
[ male announcer ] that s handy. i m kathleen sebelius, secretary of health under president obama. now, a lot of folks have been talking about our new health care enrollment website, how it s been crashing and freezing and shutting down and stalling and not working and breaking and sucking. didn t know there would be problems until the day it launched. this is your signature program. your name is on it! look it d be like the charmin bear just found out what people actually do with his toilet paper. we fumbled. that s what he said, we fumbled. you know, a fumble is a turnover. that can happen to anyone. this is more like, we told everybody we re good at football, we actually really suck at football. the obamacare website remains a disaster, even though now the administration s website gurus
reporters phone records have been seized. oh, i just learned with the rest of you guys, kathleen sebelius, he just learned with the rest of america of the problems with the website. chuck, what s going on? there s one or two answers. this is the senior leadership instinct which is always to put up this wall and essentially because they believe if they somehow say the president knew any little thing then that opens up, that create as feeding frenzy and opens up a new can much worms. their instinct is to immediately say boy we re just learning of this to buy time. the president is either telling truth or not. it s their standard i look at it it s their standard buy time. it s their way of calling a time-out and trying do this. i this over time it does make the president look detached and look as if, you know, and the thing is he s pretty engaged. he s very engaged. idea that he didn t know some of these things
the days of iran/contra. i m not comparing these scandals to iran/contra, but we keep having to ask ourselves the question is the president really in the dark the way everybody around claims that he s in the dark about these huge issues? if he is, is that worse than if he had known about it? this was written in the the washington post today, for a smart man president obama professes to know very little about what s going on in his administration. on sunday night the wall street journal report ed he did learn this summer the nsa was bugging phones of german chancellor angela merkel and other world leaders for nearly five years. followed by a few claims of hhs sebelius obama didn t know about problems of the health care website before the launch. the white house frequently has given a variation on this theme.
