Obamacare website

[gunnar]

Michelle Obama's Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the no-bid contract to build the disastrous Obamacare website.






Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of '85, is senior vice president at Canadian company CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the so far costing $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov.






Townes-Whitley and his Princeton classmate Michelle Obama are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.



Toni Townes, Pricenton '85, is a onetime policy analyst with the General Accounting Office and previously served in the Peace Corps in Gabon, West Africa.






George Schindler, the president of the CGI Federal's Canadian parent CGI Group, became an Obama 2012 campaign donor after his company gained the Obamacare website contract.

Soooooo...........






Let's see if we can connect the dots here ...






1.) No American companies considered for building Obamacare's website;






2.) CGI Federal was chosen by God knows which criteria and hired;






3.) CGI Federal was given a NO BID contract worth $93 million;






4.) A top executive at CGI Federal was a Princeton classmate of Michelle Obama;






5.) Previous company's experience was building a gun registry for the Canadian government;






6.) CGI Group was fired by Canadian Government for overruns that cost Canada $100 million;






4.) CGI has continued its practice of overruns as the Obamacare enrollment website has gone from $98 million to costing U.S. Tax payers $678 million, and it's still going up.




Does this bother anybody else besides me?

That's not all true information. It was reported on Fox News and Bill O'Reilly. However, according to an October 13, 2013 article by the Washington Examiner. The article said, "CGI was one of 16 companies that had been qualified by HHS during President George W. Bush's second term to deliver, without public competition, a variety of hardware, software and communication products and services."

According to an October 17, 2013 article by Reuters there were 31 bidders for the contract. The article said "The work on Healthcare.gov grew out of a contract for open-ended technology services first issued in 2007 with a place-holder value of $1,000. There were 31 bidders. An extension, awarded in September 2011 specifically to build Healthcare.gov, drew four bidders, the documents show, including CGI Federal."

The October 17, 2013 article by Reuters said, "As U.S. officials warned that the technology behind Obamacare might not be ready to launch on October 1, the administration was pouring tens of millions of dollars more than it had planned into the federal website meant to enroll Americans in the biggest new social program since the 1960s." At the time of this report the "potential total value" of the website is close to $292 million.

While $292 million is an insane amount of money. It's not $678 million.

Also, for another reference:

According to the Open Secrets site, "a research group tracking money in U.S. politics and its effect on elections and public policy," CGI donated $128,000 to federal candidates and 52% of the recipients were Republicans.

They also found that CGI President George Schindler donated $1000 to the Obama reelection campaign, according to an October 17, 2013 article by the Daily Caller. The article also said that Schindler donated $1000 for the election campaign for Mitt Romney, $1000 to Virginia Democratic Rep. Jim Moran in March 2011 and donated $2,300 to the John McCain Presidential campaign.

The moral of the story: If they're a politician, none of them can be trusted no matter what their affiliation. They all have fat pockets.
