    Just heard CGI Federal was paid 290 million dollars in taxpayer funds to work on the site. The HHS missed today's deadline to provide lawmakers with information.

    The funny thing is that even with an essentially tame press at his beck and call Obama just can't help screwing up and it looks like his inner circle cronies are starting to get arrogant with their own greedy little hands shoved inside the nation's piggy bank -- the taxpayer's money pot, that is.

    Most large corporations donate to campaigns on both sides of the aisle.


    And this company has been working for the US government for 36 years.

    I am not on the left but it is a little contrived even for a gotcha moment. Am I presumed to have had a backroom deal with anyone with who may come into my sphere of existence who went to the same college as I did? It isn't like Michelle was BFF's with 7K students

    No question about it, it's a conspiracy.

    We're really starting to look like Putin's Russia!!

    No-bid, a Canadian business with a history of poor performance and writing failing programs gets the business. Even the Canadian government fired them after hiring them to produce a firearms registration for Canada. It failed and they were fired. Then Mooch arraigned to give it to her classmate. How cozy!

    No bid? Why?


    Now, we know why. This is corruption on a colossal scale.

    Files should be siezed. Investigation should occur. Will it? Nope. Chicago thuggery politics will sweep it under the rug.

    Exactly, nothing will happen, no accountability just like the NSA, IRS, Benghazi, AP, Fast & Furious, now Obamacare.

    It's still a conflict of interest. A more ethical thing would have been to go elsewhere for the service.

    As a law abiding citizen of this once great country of ours, I demand a thorough congressional hearing immediately.

    Pick a battle you will have a chance at winning. This rates a 1 on a scale of 10 where 1 is are you seriously pursuing this? Get a life. And where 10 is IMPEACH THE CROOKED BASTARD.

    but it isn't costing $678 million.
    Seems propagating myths and lies is a necessary part of the routine to maintain anger in the base.

    It is definitely amazing that a black woman who graduated from Princeton has risen in the ranks to become a senior executive. I mean she must have only got the job because she was black and the company knew that she would be able to convince the first lady to award a huge contract to the firm.

    Conspiracies abound, while nary a shred of plausible proof is found.

    she seems emminently qualified for the job

    Amazing attempt to mitigate/deflect from the obvious "quid pro quo" cronyism of the MOst Corrupt and Inet Administration in History.

    Toni Townes is fullacrap, per usual. ...

    Quid pro quo is a privilege reserved for Presidential administrations, President Bush did the same with oil contracts to his friends in the oil companies, I don't see how this is any worst as it is actually moral because it is giving away health care rather than for war purposes.

    Completely dodging the issue. I've noticed you're pretty good at that.

    I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the CEO of the company became an Obama donor, AFTER being awarded the ACA contract.

    And the Obama Adm. has been completely honest about Benghazi, too, right?

    If a Republican Adm. was doing the same crap this batch of crooks has and is, you'd be marching around the White House with pitchforks and torches.
