So what?
You're the one who asked the question. It was poorly-worded, but what can I expect from somebody who earns his living mouthing scripted words other people wrote?
Where's that link to the "bullshit" you claim I posted?
So what?
These excuses must be bending the libs into pretzels...if we assume 51,000 @ week sign up for 6 months, how many people will have signed up for Obamafail by the deadline?
LOLOL
That's your "logic?" This past week, Republicans were threatening to do away with it, why invest in it if it might not even be around? Why would these numbers be representative of anything besides that week?
Presenting expert testimony about poor design of the Obamacare website is a "dodge"?
How do you figure that?
Keep on dancin'! lol
Keep on pretending that the Obamacare launch isn't a total failure.
LOL We have already established the fact (thru logic that you still cannot grasp) that your CLAIM that the numbers from the first week can predict total number that will sign up is untrue.
"We"?
You haven't done any such thing, beyond optimistically assuming things will improve with no facts to support such a belief.
That's a fallacy, isn't it?
You're right, me!
Looks like you're the one dancing...
Wolf Blitzer has hit out at the White House over the launch of Obamacare saying the health insurance marketplace is not ready for the program.
Just 51,000 people completed Obamacare applications during the website's first week, out of tens of millions of Americans in 36 states
Just 51,000 people completed Obamacare applications during the first week the Healthcare.gov website was online, according to two sources inside the Department of Health and Human Services who gave MailOnline an exclusive look at the earliest enrollment numbers.
- Obamacare's main signup engine attracted just 6,200 new customers on its launch day and 51,000 after the first week
- At the same rate, the 6-month open enrollment period would sign up just 2 million Americans, including 14 states and D.C., which have their own insurance exchanges
- The Congressional Budget Office says Obamacare needs at least 7 million customers to stay afloat financially
- Numerous Obama administration officials have denied seeing any enrollment figures at all
- MailOnline's sources are two Health and Human Services workers who have access to the data as it's crunched
- Texas congressman says anemic national enrollment numbers are 'roughly the population of a small town in my district'
The career civil servants, who process data inside the agency, confirmed independently that just 6,200 Americans applied for health insurance through the problem-plagued website on October 1, the day it first opened to the public.
Neither HHS nor the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services would comment on the record about the numbers. Enroll America, on Obama administration-related organization that aims to help Americans sign up, only replied to a request for information a day after this article was first published.
'I don’t have any hard numbers beyond what HHS and the state-based exchanges have released,' said spokesman Justin Nisly, who insisted that Americans have been 'enthusiastic' and 'grateful' for Obamacare.
The White House did not respond to emails seeking comment.
But several administration officials have claimed this month that they didn't have access to the kinds of raw figures MailOnline obtained from the people who work for them. And the anemic totals suggest a far lower level of interest in coverage through the Affordable Care Act than the Obama administration has hoped to see.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-51-000-completed-insurance-applications.html

Why are you taking your talking points from a British tabloid? I haven't even seen the hacks at Faux quote a specific number.
Have you got a source for a different figure?
If so, let's see it.
I think christie's waiting for you to answer the question put to you first. Or are you too scared?

What gave you that idea?
Christie can ask me herself, unless you think she needs a M A N to help her...too bad you seem to be all she's got.
According to the klan!
No shit!
Who buys something the very first day it's rolled out?
Many people will look, compare, shop, check, re-check and shop some more before making a decision.
I haven't seen any different figures anywhere. That's the point. How and why does a British tabloid get figures that the American media doesn't get?
Lol, a M A N to help me? It's pretty much the opposite on this forum.
