​Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs on Monday described the rollout of Obamacare as “excruciatingly embarrassing” for the Obama administration. “This was bungled badly​,” he said.

“I hope they’re working day and night to get this done and when they get it fixed, I hope they fire some people who were in charge of making sure this thing was supposed to work,” Gibbs told MSNBC. “This is excruciatingly embarrassing for the White House​ and the Department of Health and Human Services.”

Gibbs dismissed the administration’s claim that the an influx of traffic has caused the websites’ glitches, and called on the president to fire those responsible for sites’ design.​ “This is not a server problem, like too many people came to the website — this is a website architecture problem,” he said.

We've been trying, Robert.  We told 0bama and Sebelius it wouldn't work, and not just the technical portion of this monstrosity.  Don't believe for a moment that we want either of these numbskulls to hang around.  We'd love it if they were out of a job.

But they mean well, and they're "for the little guy". So the media will ignore it as much as possible, and the stupid American public will be blissfully unaware.
