Seriously. Did President Obama forget to watch that television thingie or read some newspapers in order to get up to snuff on the news?
So, this happened.
Colleague notes that Obama could have given almost this exact same speech if the website worked just fine.

Yep.
NRO’s Charles W. Cooke was flabbergasted.
This is just incredible. Utterly incredible. It is as if nothing has happened.

Conservatives say this a lot, but I think it's true here: This is actually what happens when you're not used to being seriously challenged.

This is what happens when you've become accustomed to the press filtering your mistakes and the opposition being useless.

Yep.
But, hey, it’s all good. The “product” is awesome and stuff! And everything is working just fine, whiners.
Except no one has received the "product" yet. Not one. –>>Obama: "The product is good. The health insurance being provided is good."

Obama sounding like a used car salesman: "That product is working. It's really good. And it turns out there is a national demand for it!"
