As Twitchy reported earlier today, the White House is making all kinds of noises about how awesome Obamacare enrollment is going.

The reality, however, is looking quite different.
We already told you that Louisiana’s largest insurer hasn’t enrolled a single person in its Obamacare plans. Now comes word from Politico health policy reporter Jennifer Haberkorn that Texas insurers aren’t doing any better:
Have spoken with several groups in Texas and so far haven't found anyone who has actually enrolled anyone. #Obamacare

Wow.
Here’s what Texans on the ground are saying:
Has anyone, ANYONE, in Texas been able to sign up at http://t.co/hRhnA2Qtzw? I've been at this for 6 hours and can't even create an account.

Breitbart.com reporter Matthew Boyle is right:
It's kind of epic how badly obamacare is already failing. I don't think even the right expected it to be AS bad as it is already out gate

No wonder this administration doesn’t want to release enrollment numbers.
