Obama's 'Tech Surge' Consisted of Six People

by John Sexton 2 Dec 2013, 1:08 PM PDT 409 post a comment

President Obama stood in the Rose Garden and promised a "tech surge" to fix healthcare.gov. In reality, the surge was a tiny influx of "about a half-dozen people."

In a multi-page story on the effort to rebuild the troubled website, the NY Times reported Saturday that one of the President's fixes was actually a bit of hyperbole. The "tech surge," which the President announced during a Rose Garden speech last month, was not a wave of software engineers. It was a tiny handful of people:

In fact, the surge centered on about a half-dozen people who had taken leave from various technology companies to join the effort. They included Michael Dickerson, a site reliability engineer at Google who had also worked on Mr. Obama’s campaign and now draws praise from contractors as someone who is “actually making a difference,” one said.
Even so, one person working on the project said, “Surge was probably an overstatement.”

It's doubtful anyone listening to the President's speech in the Rose Garden would have assumed the "tech surge" consisted of six people. Then again, no one would have guessed that the site would only enroll six people on its first day of operation. The White House has a habit of claiming big things are happening when, in reality, the number of people involved can be counted on two hands.

Another Reason They Should Have Read the Bill: The $8 Billion ObamaCare Public Relations

Morgan Brittany | Dec 02, 2013




Obviously no one read Section 4002 in the Affordable Care Act, because if they had they would have seen that this little section created a fund to promote Obamacare.Here are the staggering numbers allocated to promote this monstrosity.In 2010 it is $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and on, $2 billion!
“The Prevention and Public Health Fund will provide for expanded and sustained national investment in prevention and public health programs to improve health and help restrain the rate of growth in private and public sector health care costs”.If you read between the lines they are saying that this fund will be used to sell the idea of Obamacare in any way that they see fit.
The media blitz started when funds were given to media companies like NBC, The Washington Post, Reuters, and CBS along with journalist symposiums.Propaganda is currently being woven into the storylines of television shows like Modern Family, Grey’s Anatomy along with other popular shows.Commercial ads are being taken out as well to tout the fabulous law that is ObamaCare! There is even word around town that TV executives are toying with creating a reality show around a family who has no health care!
So now we have come to a point where sponsors of television shows don’t just sell us cars or soap, now they are selling a political agenda funded by taxpayers. Of course Hollywood will be onboard!
Non-profit organizations are getting into the act as well.If they are committed to promoting Obamacare, they get a piece of the pie.When any of these organizations feel that they can put their hand in the cookie jar, they will.
To increase public support for the program, $8 million has gone for a public relations contract.This is to convince people who are skeptical or confused that ObamaCare is the Holy Grail of health care and they need to enroll right away.They are also planning massive advertising campaigns in other languages, putting propaganda on coffee cup sleeves at colleges and buying ads at professional soccer games to target Hispanic men.
It isn’t enough that taxpayers are strapped financially with the burdens already on them, now more tax dollars are being spread around to promote something that Americans overwhelmingly do not want!
With the disastrous website roll-out, Americans have seen their hard earned tax dollars flushed down the toilet.Three years and billions of dollars later, we basically have to scrap the whole thing and start over thus costing us billions more.
It doesn’t surprise me that this administration is using public relations propaganda to promote a partisan agenda with taxpayer money, and it also doesn’t surprise me that this little hidden section was buried in a bill that no one read or wanted.We live in a world where every day the government is lying to, stealing from, and screwing over the American taxpayer.
Perhaps the American people will see through this publicity sham and realize that no matter how you package it, ObamaCare is this years--- New Coke.
