She didn't embarrass anybody, except maybe the fiasco that is Obamacare. She didn't mention her employer at all.
Her employer, for all intents and purposes, was "Obamacare".
I concede she made a mistake. But I don't think her intent was to embarrass anybody. She actually does seem like a very nice lady.
I guess it's like the famous axiom in Washington..."the worst mistake you can make is to tell the truth."
Well it wasn't like she was saying anything that wasn't on every front page and wasn't included in every telecast already. She would have looked like an idiot if she had said everybody is quite happy, most especially after she had no doubt taken probably hundreds of calls from people who obviously were not happy. If she had had time to think about it, a better answer might have been, "Of course people are frustrated right now because the website isn't working well yet, but we expect that to be fixed soon."
I want a government who works for me--for MY interests, and who will tell the truth that the people have a right to know. I don't want a self serving government who hides the truth from the people.
I honestly can't relate to those who meekly submit to being subjects of an authoritarian government and who have abdicated all their ownership and power in that process.
