    such a petty little man.

    this is what happens when you grow up without a father... or mother... or stepfather...
    and NOT an American, a radical Muslim, a racist and full of hate.

    FOLKS, you are only getting a taste of him, he is a Tyrant and dictator.

    FYI he just met with some of his big backers and heavy Dems in Congress and announced he is running for a 3rd term

    "Earlier this week President Obama said in a speech to supporters that he wished to seek an unprecedented 3rd term as Commander in Chief. He cited his exemplary work at bringing the country back from the brink of economic catastrophe much like former socially minded, populist leader Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Flanked by a few of his most ardent Democrat supporters in Congress he announced the urgency to repeal a portion of the Constitution which forbids the president from seeking a 3rd term. Democrats are already pushing forth legislation which should accomplish just that."

    yea got me on that... :turkey::banghead:

    Besides, it doesn't really matter who is in the office, it only matters if the person in the office is put there by the progressive socialist machine that control and fund them. It's the men pulling the levers behind the curtain that are the real danger.

    But I will admit Ole C, If he thought he could, he certainly would try.

    I'm aware of it, but that in itself means nothing.

    They have a handful of Obama's waiting in the wings for that office. It will be much easier to get one of them into office then to amend the Constitution at this time.

    Bills like that are just there to distract us from their actual threats.

    Obama would have a much tougher time winning a third term anyways. I know a lot of moderate dems who are not happy with how he didn't raise their taxes.

    Many of then voted for him out of distrust for the Republican Party and now have the same feelings about the big O.

    I bet the cost to remove those fountains was 3x the cost or more of leaving them there.

    With an example like the new Ophuchyoucare website I'll be it was more like 10 times the price.

    The website cost should be the lead story for weeks... the specifications were created and bids were taken. The bid was won at less than $100M. The cost to date spent on a non-working site is in excess of $600M. Expect a six to one overrun on every facet of O'care.

    As someone has commented... it's like 1-800-flowers opening their new website on Valentine's day... and it not working.

    Any major govt IT effort will run about $1 Billion and the failure rate is staggering, if you the taxpayer only knew.

    I was contacted by a couple of my former employees who are now Sr VP's at Beltway Bandits in DC to head up a major Govt IT effort along with a website. I offered to give them 2 weeks of consulting at no cost and nothing else...wondering now if it had something to do with this??? They contacted me because I have run major IT projects in the govt and been successful, on time, on budget and works on day one.

    I launched one site with 12 million users on day one and it never went down.

    What I see here is corrupt application software, not properly load tested and a failure to answer the question that every software engineer MUST answer to produce good SW: what happens next?

    With the technology we have today few sites should crash if you have a good router setup, strong failover architecture and the ability to throttle along with sufficient bandwidth in a burstable configuration. In this setup I would have a direct pipe from the central backbone going into a 3 router array at the Cisco 12000 level and for those who work in OC I am thinking at first blush OC 24 just based upon what little I know about it. If the network side was set up properly and it appears to ok I see the major weakness in the software that is running the show. If it was a network issue they could provision more bandwidth in real time if the data center is properly designed. Same for the server array, should be able to stack servers as fast as you can open cabinets.

    My guess is the whole thing if FUBAR which is SNAFU for most govt IT work.

    It aint about money.
    It aint about water.
    It's about stripping the rights and power of the people.
    A test.

    Federally funded public drinking water should be the LAST thing to go due to lack of funding.
    This is tyranny. Plain and simple.
