Not that firing the Secretary will fix her mess any faster, but she should be fired for not knowing the problems and allowing the President to be embarrassed by this.

Several of us laid this all out literally two days after the system launched and were scolded by DU members who apparently can't handle the truth. And here we are coming up on a month after launch and the administration is just now getting around to figuring out that they have a huge problem on their hands -- a screw-up so big that it threatens to do what Ted Cruz couldn't do ion his own.

The administration tried to brush this off as "unexpected demand" (you know, who could have ever guessed how many people would try to use the site?) and "typical start-up glitches", which would be fixed with some overnight changes. Sibelius put out the story, "Every day it is getting better".

No it isn't getting better, and it isn't just a few little glitches. It is a system poorly conceived and designed from the very first architectural decision. And it won't be fixed any time soon.
