Sebelius's March on Moscow

I said this would happen.

The number of visitors to the federal government’s HealthCare.gov Web site plummeted 88 percent between Oct. 1 and Oct. 13, according to a new analysis of America’s online use, while less than half of 1 percent of the site’s visitors successfully enrolled for health insurance the first week. …

Based on a sample of two million users — or 1 percent of all online users in the U.S. — which Millward Brown Digital has permission to track, it suggests that the rush of traffic administration officials cited as the cause of the site’s problems trailed off within a matter of days.

Captain Ed understands exactly what I said in my prediction.

 Every private-sector firm operating in the on-line market discovered that in 1995 or so, but the Obama administration only just started to learn it after spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the world’s worst web portal.  And now consumers are staying away in droves

A bad website is like Napoleon's march on Moscow.  Ed's post even has a graphic (a funnel) that is eerily reminiscent of the famous Moscow March graphic.  Ouch.

This is a bloody disaster and yet Obama seems not too concerned.  Why?  Because in 21st century America government failure is rewarded with more power.  ObamaCare's faceplant is already stirring progressive minds to how to up the ante and take that step toward single payer.  Our only hope is that we will go broke before then.  Scratch that, we are broke...our only hope is that idiots will stop lending us money before then.

This has me wondering if certain propaganda arms are going to be pimping for ObamaCare as intended.  They may not want to be seen endorsing this shit show.
