Company Behind Troubled Obamacare Website Donated Heavily To Republicans In 2012
Republicans’ new Obamacare attack line hinges on allegations that the contractor in charge of building the disastrous healthcare.gov website landed the gig through sweetheart deals from the Obama administration.
But according to Federal Election Commission records, that company’s PAC gave more to House Republicans than House Democrats during the 2012 cycle — including a $2,000 check for the GOP’s chief scandal investigator, Oversight Committee Chair Darrell Issa. What’s more, executives of CGI Federal personally gave more than twice as much to GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney than to President Obama. The contractor has also feasted on more than $2.4 billion worth of IT work dating back to the early Bush Administration.
So far, none of that has stopped the Republican National Congressional Committee from suggesting CGI netted hundreds of millions of dollars to create the dysfunctional website because of its ties to the White House
On Wednesday, the NRCC blasted the Republican National Committee’s email list heralding a petition it had started that would urge Congress to investigate CGI-Obama ties. The email noted the importance of finding out, among other pressing questions, “How did [CGI] get contracted to do it?”
Twenty-eight hours later, the NRCC had its answer. “NRCC Investigation of HealthCare.gov Finds Insider Deals Worth Over $400 Million,” the next missive declared. The email itself doesn’t reference any evidence of “insider deals,” but the conservative Daily Caller has been building the case for weeks by noting the company had given donations to Obama and other Democrats and that its executives had visited the White House regularly.

I watched an hour of the MHP show last Saturday where she ferreted out what happened there. One of her guests described how the Bu$h cabal (and this is yet another example of how we are still paying through the nose for all the BS they pulled and set us up for major fails of this type) placed into law a policy whereby no small contractors are eligible to bid for these contracted (no bid usually) jobs and the large contractors can sue for the contracts so it comes down to "...who has the best lawyers..." as to who gets the contract.
Soooo, I;m sure the OP is spot on and with this caveat of how/why these moles end up being able to sabotage the whole web site initiative and not much can be done about it until after the fact... which is what has been the pattern since Obama took office. Many Bushies are still in place where they were imbedded before he left office... they cannot be removed or replaced by political influence and many are life-time appointments. Yet another thing that needs to be changed like a soiled diaper.

We might well have suspected OCCULT Republicon Black Ops strategery at the root of the FAIL.
Figures. This will come back to bite them in their diapers, one hopes.
health-care's website up is tantamount to self-flagellation. Good god, can there be any surprise the website was fu*ked up from the git-go?
