In a nutshell

HealthCare.gov: How political fear was pitted against technical needs
“They were running the biggest start-up in the world, and they didn’t have anyone who had run a start-up, or even run a business,” said David Cutler, a Harvard professor and health adviser to Obama’s 2008 campaign...

But they weren't running it, except for a faux-beta version that wasn't even pilot tested. It's mind boggling.

Obama, of course, had no personal experience of failure, because he's never done anything on his own, in his entire life. It's a big, wonderful, affirmative action world for Obama.

Credit where it's due, what he's genuinely good at is jumping up to take the credit when things go well, and blaming others when they don't -- "I'm just as angry about this as you are."

As far as I can remember, he's never taken responsibility for a single thing that didn't work out, not one. When Benghazi was underway, he did a duck-and-cover and went back to bed.

Class act, no?

No.
