It was the American subsidiary which got the contract for ACA. The Canadians did not do the coding for it. Not that it mattered, because the ball was dropped anyway.

Or we could just talk about all kinds of non-obama care stuff like how Obama's team is forcing poor deaf people into homelessness in Arizona when there is specialized housing availble for them but Obamatrons have decreed they cannot live in the housing because it was made for deaf people?


Dude we have LOTs of stuff to complain about.
I know these are the complaints from the conservative alternative reality, but I'm talking about actual real world complaints. I wonder if conservatives will have any of those.

Yes, you are correct. I'd much rather see politicians blow 244 times that much money in 2 weeks playing political poker in DC.

$96 million?

That's a fraction of the cost compared to Ted Cruz's hissy fit.

seriously you have a company with a history of failing to do what they have been contracted to do, and bammer gives them 98million dollars, then acts shocked when they live up to their reputation....
O didn't go for the pipeline from Canada and in reparation hired a canadian company to ease international relations and redistribute taxpayer money on a gloabl scale.

Part of his jobs program for Canadians...Oops! wrong country! Now Canadians will be recruited by the dems as unregistered voters and are sure to vote for obama.... ayres and dohrn advocated global participation in US presidential elections.... we are on our way!!!

No, what we're saying is that you're a hypocrite. You claim to be concerned about money being spent to fix a problem, but don't bat an eye when someone wastes a much higher amount of money only to have accomplished nothing. That's the point. Am I surprised you missed it? No.

thats like saying since I eat with my left hand, my right hand does not benifit.

this is a Canadian company. period.

I like Canadians. If a Canadian company was the best company out there to do the job, and they had a great track record of doing such work, and they won the bid, then I would not hesitate to use them.


but since they were failures in Canada and had a track record of failure, it is within bounds to add that fact to the list of reasons why the Obama team is made up of idiots.

You cannot find 1 post where I said I was not mad at that...nice way to attempt to spin it towards your favor...but fail again, am I surprised? No...

Also, let me remind you of what obama stated:

Quote:
And here's what you need to know. First, I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits -- either now or in the future. (Applause.) I will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit, now or in the future, period. And to prove that I'm serious, there will be a provision in this plan that requires us to come forward with more spending cuts if the savings we promised don't materialize.
Guess that was a lie and you still support that.....figures...
