Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says calls for her resignation are coming from people who don't want the government's new health insurance program to succeed. Sebelius was in Phoenix on Thursday to promote Obamacare. "The majority of people calling for me to resign I would say are people I do not work for and who do not wan

CHRIS WALLACE: George, is this just a contractor problem? GEORGE WILL: No. It goes all the way to the top because it threatens the health care law itself and I'll tell you why. First, this has produced some unintentional amusing moments. There was a headline I think we have that was in the New York Times this morning that contained a wond

On the top of Thursday's broadcast of his radio show, Sean Hannity revealed Earline Davis, the Obamacare operator he called early in his Monday show, got fired. Hannity quizzed her on how well the law is bein

HOST, KNPR: Would you make concessions on things like Medicare and Social Security if it helped lead to a long term deal? SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV): Listen, we're willing -- the president has stuck his neck way out. He's willing to do a lot of stuff with spending, but there has to be some reciprocity here. Once Republicans decide that they're going

Paul Krugman: I think Stockman is an interesting sort of amalgam. Most of what he says is what I would think of as sort of standard "gold bug-ism." He's pretty much standard, you know, like the commenters on gold-bug blogs. It's all "inflation" and "too much printing of money" and "excess" and "we've been doomed ever since [Franklin Roosevelt] took

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Ted Cruz is not the official spokesman for American conservatism. If you want somebody who has been out there, who has offered an alternative, the person who offered an alternative for example is Paul Ryan. But, let me start with his assumption. His assumption is not that government doesn't have a role. His assumption is that t

JON KARL, ABC NEWS: Because the contractors said they could have used more time. They only had two weeks to test this, and they could have used a few months to test it. So, I mean, if you could have had a smoother -- I mean, I’m just asking in hindsight -- you could have delayed this by a couple months, had it tested and maybe had a smooth roll

During the House committee hearing on the Affordable Care Act federal exchange website on Thursday morning, Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-NJ) lost his temper with Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) for inaccurately describing a privacy requirement in the law, calling the entire hearing a "monkey court." REP. FRANK PALLONE: HIPAA only applies when there's health

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Now, obviously, just because something is smart and fair, and good for the economy and fiscally responsible and supported by business and labor -- (laughter) -- and the evangelical community and many Democrats and many Republicans, that does not mean that it will actually get done. (Laughter.) This is Washington, after all

JAY CARNEY: The system was an inadequate website, anyway, on October 1st, unquestionably, and it still is not where it needs to be today by any means. But it is significantly better today than it was a week ago, and the week before that and certainly on October 1st. And that's the progress we're looking for. I think I used the go-to sports analogy

Chris Hayes talks with Salon.com editor Joan Walsh and Washington Post editor Ezra Klein about how liberals should criticize Obamacare.

REP. MICHAEL BURGESS (R-TX): And Mr. Slavitt did you personally try to get on the system? ANDREW SLAVITT, OPTUM: Yes I did. BURGESS: And for what state? SLAVITT: I think I put in Texas. BURGESS: Is that where your from? SLAVITT: I am not but I was testing the system. BURGESS: Well, did it work? SLAVITT: Well, I logged on to cre

Former White House chief-of-staff Bill Daley explains that firing HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius over Obamacare "glitches" would be like firing the captain of the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.  BILL DALEY: [Secretary Sebelius] is being held accountable. She is the secretary, it's under her watch. Some people are calling for her to

HOWARD DEAN: First of all, in fairness, you've got to blame the Republicans for some of this, because they delayed everything they possibly could, threw as many monkey wrenches into the process as they could. And with some success here. But the truth is, what the Obama administration should have done is divide the 36 states that are on the federal

Former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke to a large crowd at the University at Buffalo Wednesday night, as part of the university's Distinguished Speaker Series, and was heckled. "Benghazi, you let them die," the heckler shouted. "We have to be willing to come together as citizens to focus on the kind of future we

George Will, Tucker Carlson, Julie Pace, and Bret Baier answer online questions and discuss the problems with the rollout of Obamacare.

O'REILLY: States that don't have many physicians will suffer greatly. You're going to be waiting for months. That's because many American doctors do not want all the red tape and paperwork associated with Obamacare.

MSNBC: "Republicans are cheering for ACA to fail... and are making up baseless claims to make sure it does." Ezekiel Emanuel and Huffington Post’s Sam Stein join Chris matthews to discuss.
