Facing such intense opposition from congressional Republicans, the administration was in a bunker mentality as it built the enrollment system, one former administration official said. Officials feared that if they called on outsiders to help with the technical details of how to run a commerce website, those companies could be subpoenaed by Hill Republicans, the former aide said. So the task fell to trusted campaign tech experts.Two things:
- As has been proven repeatedly, no one pays attention to subpoenas that Republicans issue, nor to the investigations that they undertake. Those trees fall in the forest all the time and never make a sound. Darrell Issa might as well be on a milk carton.
- If you're going to essentially take over 1/6th of the country's GDP, doncha think it's worth trying to get a little expertise? And seriously, what would the government be hiding about the technical details?
It's a little Nixonian, wouldn't you say?

It was Bush's fault. His staffers stole all the 0's off the keyboards the programmers' keyboards when they left office four and a half years ago.
