No, not in Shutdowngeddon; he's going to ride that straight through to a national default and beyond to the gates of Chicago - uh, I mean hell - itself.
No, I mean something that actually matters to him: healthcare.gov:
Bedeviled by technology glitches that frustrated millions of consumers, the Obama administration is taking down its health overhaul website for repairs this weekend.You know, the [snicker] government-run markets....[snort]
Enrollment functions of the healthcare.gov site will be unavailable during off-peak hours this weekend, the Health and Human Services Department said Friday. The website will remain open for general information.
Technology problems overwhelmed the launch of new health insurance markets Tuesday....
....embarrassing the administration just when the health care law was supposed to be introduced to average consumers.Uh, that'd be this one:
"Americans have seen once again that Obamacare is not ready for prime time," Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the No. 2 House Republican, said in a statement. "A dysfunctional website is the least of that law's problems."
The administration is putting the best face....
....on the situation, noting the unexpectedly strong interest from millions of consumers. "
Which would explain why he doesn't actually know how many Americans have actually enrolled in his [snerk] "government-run marketplaces", including California, where the number is a big, fat zero.
"Americans are excited to look at their options for health coverage, with record demand in the first days of the marketplaces," said the release announcing the planned fixes.
The statement was headlined: "Health Insurance Marketplace Open for Business - Week One Success."
As to Shutdowngeddon, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is indulging in that ancient, archaic, anachronistic pastime known as "state sovereignty".
