The ObamaCare Enrollment Fiasco — Serves as an Indicator of the President’s Cavalierly Uninvolved Leadership Style — Had This Been “Your” Most Important Baby, Wouldn’t You Have Insisted that the "Techno-Dweebs" Who Set It up Were both Competent and on Schedule?

"You’re in charge — get off your dead behind and act like it"

Here is a mild rendition of the Affordable Care Act rollout facts from journalist Julie Pace:

Last week, President Barack Obama gathered some of his top advisers in the Oval Office to discuss the problem-plagued rollout of his health care legislation. He told his team the administration had to own up to the fact that there were no excuses for not having the health care website ready to operate on Day One.

The admonition from a frustrated president came amid the embarrassing start to sign-ups for the health care insurance exchanges. The president is expected to address the cascade of computer problems Monday during an event at the White House.

Administration officials say more than 476,000 health insurance applications have been filed through federal and state exchanges. The figures mark the most detailed measure yet of the problem-plagued rollout of the insurance market place.

However, the officials continue to refuse to say how many people have actually enrolled in the insurance markets.

President Obama is frustrated?

Whose responsibility, ultimately, has this fiasco been?

The moral? — Don’t pretend that leadership is someone else’s responsibility, when you are both President and Commander in Chief

President Obama’s lackadaisically indulged incompetence as a leader falls only slightly short of that demonstrated by his more extreme Congressional adversaries.

One of the ironies of the current American political condition is that we have just demonstrated — beyond any reasonable doubt — the destructive “moron-i-tude” of much of Republican Party. This Theater of the Absurd should have led to the majoritarian acknowledgement that the Democratic Party is not quite as stupid.

But — instead of plucking a clear victory from the Republicans’ unalloyed demonstration of nation-threatening air-headedness — our perennially uninvolved President managed to present us with his own version of brainless ineptitude.

Is this demonstration of near universal pin-headedness really the best that the United States can do?
