“We have hundreds of thousands of people who tried to sign up who didn’t get through,” he said. “There are some people who are not like my grandchildren who can handle everything so easily on the Internet, and these people need a little extra time. It’s not — the example they gave us is a 63-year-old woman came into the store and said, ‘I almost got it. Every time I just about got there, it would cut me off.’ We have a lot of people just like this through no fault of the Internet, but because people are not educated on how to use the Internet.”

Faulty website? Nah, just a bunch of old people trying to sign up who don't know a mouse from a keyboard.

I'm embarrassed by my senator; have been for a long time.

I wish the Republicans could offer better candidates than Sue Lowden and then, Sharron Angle. That's why Reid is still my senator. Wake up, Republicans. Offer a sane candidate, and you will defeat this grumpy old man Reid.

Old people that don't know how to use the internet usually don't use the internet.
They use mail and telephones.

But how would Harry know how normal people live ?

He's probably right. The website was working fine a few months ago, so if people aren't signing up then they either don't want to or don't know how to.

If he blames old people, then Dingy Harry should just blame himself.
