I am not defending him; I am trying to see this from a viewpoint of common sense.
I am stunned that it has taken so long, cost so much, uses technology that is ten years old, and isn't working correctly.
With that said, why are we blaming the faults of the website on the President? Do we really want the President overseeing the design of one aspect of the healthcare bill that involves the website? Does he know how to code in HTML or PHP, or how to use Photoshop? Does it he know about databases intergration and how large of a project this is? Has Obama ever so much as logged into a server via FTP to do anything? Does he even know what FTP is?
It's up to the health department to build the website, not the White House, and not Congress.
At the very same time, why didn't they just have each state build it's own website? Seems to be working best for most states.
