Millions of Americans signing up for Obamacare resulted in a minor computer glitch in the system. Republicans are citing this hiccup as a major failure of the entire health care system. John Fuegelsang joined Ed Schultz Wednesday evening to discuss the situation.
Fugelsang mocked House Republicans saying: “The ‘party of Lincoln’ — they’re not even the party of Quayle anymore.” He went on to note that
“They lost in Congress on Obamacare, they lost with the conservative Supreme Court, they lost with the American voters in a national election, they’re losing the PR battle in their own government shutdown, and so now they are reduced — a once-mighty party — to mocking software.”
Shultz added that he didn’t think there was any “glitch” at all:
“If you opened up a restaurant, and you couldn’t feed anybody because there were too many people that got in early and you just couldn’t handle the line, do you think the manager of the restaurant is gonna go back and chew out the staff because response was overwhelming? I think they’d call that a good night at the office. But of course Fox News and the Republicans, they call that ‘a glitch.’”
