It is their fault. The more loudly and clearly, the better we convey that message the sooner voters will elect state legislatures and governors who do care about healthcare for everyone.
I respectfully disagree with your post. The Republicans were quick to blame Obama for the slow start with the website. Of course, we should blame those who are really responsible: The Republicans.
