President obama defended his Signature Health care law monday following weeks of technical failures that have prevented many from signing up. Obama declined to say how many people have actually been able to enroll, but he admitted there have been technical roadblocks.

The website has been too slow. People have been getting stuck during the application process. I think it is fair to say that nobody is more frustrated by that than i am. Precisely because the product is good. President obama urged people to call the governments toll free number to apply for health insurance.

Extreme opposition to some of these provisions in the package. Id like to specifically respond to claims that some of my colleagues have made about wind energy and the wind production tax credit.

For example it serves the poor population encouraging investment in low income areas. An example in my state we have 6. 3 of the poverty resides in florida in the country and yet our new markets tax credit share is only 2 . Those other states are similar that i mentioned. And so what it does this tax credit is incentivize investment of commercial projects to create jobs in low income areas. And since the program was established back in 2000, 36 billion has been invested in eligible communities and it needs that little tweak to get to the poverty so i
