Deemed eligible for medicaid. That is the reality of the president S Health Care law. Half a Million People who didnt have insurance before are about to get covered. Thats what really matters. The problem with the website are serious. But they will be fixed. The white house says other tweaks to the law will be made sooner rather than later. But all republicans want to do is talk about the problems with the website. Theyve done Everything Possible to try to stop this law. But today they were pretending to be upset that its not working better. They werent ready. They werent close to ready. Its obvious that obama care was not ready for prime time. This is such a deeply flawed data rollout. None of you today can tell us who failed to do their job. And as a result, the American People lost a month of any effective, real ability to sign up.

What they have done is they can see what the terrorists are trying to do coming into the country and what we were blamed for as an Intelligence Community was not connecting the dots. The fbi had one set of data, the cia, nsa, and other intelligence agencies, another. And we were blamed for not connecting the dots. So we said, we need the ability to connect the dots. We came up with a couple of programs. Business record fisa is the key to connect the dots. That is the one we need to focus on here today. What is that all about . How do we connect the dots with this . What is it . It has been sensationalized, that we are listening to americans phone calls and reading emails. That is flat wrong.
