Beating Nazis Faster Than Development of Obamacare Website

http://thejacksonpress.org/?p=12378


So in the same time it took the government today to come up with a website that doesn't work, the US beat the Nazis.

If you just take a minute to think about that, you will see what an epic failure this administration is.

what a shame.

 

This was designed, engineered, and fabricated in less time than the Obamacare portal.

Wow talk about comparing Apples to Ball peen hammers

Wouldn't a more apropos comparison be WWII to the War on Terror?

 

My company could have created the Obamacare website for a few million (high end) and completed it in about 9 - 12 months. It would have been near flawless.

This was a complete disaster.

 

It's actually an even bigger failure then you think.

According to this reporter from The Hill, the healthcare.gov web site is going to end up costing over $1 billion. It's already over halfway there:

This is actually what you call "chrony capitalism" at play here. You see, the ObamaCare website contract was given to CGI in a no bid situation, and coincidently their CEO is friends with the first lady.

 

No, beating the Nazis was by far harder than creating a working website, and yet it was done, in about the same amount of time.

 

I think farcical is the operative term here, mike.

This would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact that millions of taxpayer dollars got squandered in the process. I wonder who'll get promoted for this?

 

Are you suggesting that Obama should have spent $4.104B on the website?

because otherwise you are comparing apples to ball peen hammers.

 

I still think this is being blown way out of proportion. I used the site and had no problems. Anything this big is bound to have issues at first.

 

One of my favorite propaganda pieces was a German poster comparing the Allied advance through Italy to a snail, the snail was winning

 

By the time the website is done, it will have cost $1 Billion.

that makes it even worse. I can't understand how anyone can defend this. Just admit it, this law, and the website have been complete failures.

 

What an incredibly stupid OP. Consmike does realize that WW2 was THE most expensive thing the USA ever did and that it racked up the highest level of government debt ever? To compare that to one government initiative with a tiny cost fraction of the WW2 war bill is just ludicrous. Next time, find a better comparison.

 

And then there is the small point that the US didn't beat the Nazis

 

God, are yall dishonest, or just lacking in critical thinking skills? I didn't defend the website , it's an embarrasment and an utter failure, but comparing it to WWII is STUPID.

 

It's no one's fault but yours if you take exactly the wrong message away from such a brilliant illustration.

We are talking about a measurement of time here (developing and implementing the Obama Care web portal vs. entering and winning an epic world wide war) and how one endeavor was such a stunning failure and the other such an amazing success.

And which task, fighting a world wide war or simply developing a health web site, was the more difficult task? It really puts the epic failure of the
O-bots in real perspective, doesn't it?

 

No its not. Its a great showing of how (*)(*)(*)(*) poor this administration is ad well, being in charge.

 

What are you talking about?

Do you truly believe that if the government had dumped $4KB into the website that it would have been developed faster and better or that if the USG had only spent 1/10th of that fighting WWII that the war wouldn't have last longer than it did? Of course both those things are true, which makes this comparison STUPID.

A more apt comparison is WWII and the alleged War on Terror because they both cover the same topic WAR and then you look at it and you can SPECIFICALLY see that we have spent 1/4th of what we spent on WWII and THAT is largely why the war has drug out longer than WWII did.

DUH

 

^ shows just how utterly ridiculous you are and why NO ONE takes you seriously Mike.

At NO point did I say the website was anything but a failure, the ONLY thing I said was that comparing it to WWII is stupid.

 

What's stupid is believing that you can build a single finite project (like the Obama web site) "better" by spending more money on it when you already had way more than enough to do it right the first time.
That's like claiming you can build a better car for $100 million dollars than you can for only $10 million dollars! That's absurd and after a certain point you have more than enough to do the job right the first time. Any more than that makes no material difference in performance or result.

If you think that money is the main determinate between the difference in WWII and the war on terror than I don't know what to say...besides duh, it is so much more complicated than that.

 

The comparison is great because it puts in perspective just how incompetent the Obama administration is. Creating a website isn't a monumental task and is done quite regularly. Of course I knew it had major problems when the obamapologists were saying it was only "glitches". Some of them still say it is no big deal despite the fact the rest of the world agrees with me now. Being correct is sometimes a burden but watching the delusional liberal progressives squirm and try to cover for their hero makes me giggle.

 

Sure thing!

This from the guy who says a half a billion dollar rebuild on a nuclear plant that then almost immediately shook itself to pieces in normal use is no reason to shut it down.....

 

So you're all signed up for Obamacare? What's your premium, co-pay, deductible, OOP? Which plan did you get, bronze, silver, gold???

 

Uh, the reason it got a now bid contract is because it was part of 31 companies given no bid status on health contracts by Bush.

 

Wrong. Wars are won with MONEY.

Look at the Civil War, the south had every advantage except one, money.

Look at the Cold War, Reagan just flat out spent the Soviet Union. MONEY

Even an addle minded toddler could figure out that if we spent 4X our current defense outlay we'd have a stronger military.


Oh, and I never said that $500M wasn't more than enough money to build a website, in fact on various threads I've said it's MORE THAN ENOUGH. But in this thread, comparing it to WWII is stupid. As is your ridiculous comparison to building a car. If you want to use that analogy, use it correctly and compare it with trying to open a car plant with $10M versus opening a car plant ith $100M then trying to open one with $1B. Which would be likely to be opened first ? Oh that's right, the most expensive one, and that's something that even an incompetent government can get right. Hence, if the government had spent $4B on the website logic states it would have been built faster than it was with $500M.

 

Not if one is talking specifically about the amount of time it took to fight and win WW II (which was the whole point which you inexplicably still don't seem to understand).

It's my analogy and I did use it correctly and exactly as I intended.

You are still wrong and just restating past mistaken assumptions.
One might also mistakenly assume that the most expensive movie or baseball team or home is the most desirable or successful one but that's simply not true. By simply comparing the dozens and dozens of smoothly running web sites that run daily on the internet that cost nowhere near what the Obama Care site cost we easily see how naïve and mistaken you are.
