Quote:The Washington Post’s Ezra Klein, an Obamacare supporter, slammed the launch of the program’s online exchanges the the wake of widespread reports of stalled and dysfunctional websites. Klein warned that, given the websites’ ongoing problems, there may be “deeper, more systemic problems.” “We’re a couple of weeks in and people can’t sign up, people have tried 20, 30, 40 times,” Klein said on Morning Joe on Monday. “It’s one thing for that to be true the first three or four days, it’s another thing for it to be true two or three weeks in.” “One of the Obama administration’s jobs, separate from all of the political stuff we talk about here, is to simply run things like this well, to run their signature legislative initiative well,” he continued. “On that, so far, this has been a big failure.”

Quote: On MSNBC’s Now With Alex Wagner Monday afternoon, former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs sharply criticized the Obama administration for what he called an “excruciatingly embarrassing” rollout of Obamacare, and said officials needed to be fired over it. “This is excruciatingly embarrassing for the White House and for the Department of Health and Human Services,” Gibbs said. “This was bungled badly. This was not a server problem, just too many people came to the website. This is a website architecture problem.” “I hope they’re working day and night to get this done,” Gibbs continued. “And when they get it fixed, I hope they fire some people who were in charge of making sure this thing was supposed to work. We knew there were going to be some glitches. But these are glitches that go, quite frankly, way beyond the pale of what should be expected.” http://nation.foxnews.com/2013/10/14/robert-gibbs-calls-firings-over-%E2%80%98excruciatingly-embarrassing%E2%80%99-obamacare-rollout
