WASHINGTON — A tech firm linked to a campaign-donor crony of President Obama not only got the job to help build the federal health-insurance Web site — but also is getting paid to fix it.
Anthony Welters, a top campaign bundler for Obama and frequent White House guest, is the executive vice president of UnitedHealth Group, which owns the software company now at the center of the ObamaCare Web-site fiasco.
UnitedHealth Group subsidiary Quality Software Services Inc. (QSSI), which built the data hub for the ObamaCare system, has been named the new general contractor in charge of repairing the glitch-plagued HealthCare.gov.
Welters and his wife, Beatrice, have shoveled piles of cash into Obama’s campaign coffers and apparently reaped the rewards.
Beatrice Welters bundled donations totaling between $200,000 and $500,000 for Obama’s campaign during the 2008 election cycle, according to campaign- finance data compiled by Center for Responsive Politics.
The investments quickly paid off for Beatrice Welters. The Obama administration tapped her in 2009 for the plum job of US ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago, which she held through last November.
The couple have been frequent guests at the White House.
What’s more, UnitedHealth Group is one of the largest health-insurance companies in the country and spent millions lobbying for ObamaCare.
The insurance giant’s purchase of QSSI in 2012 raised eyebrows on Capitol Hill, but the tech firm nevertheless kept the job of building the data hub for the ObamaCare Web site where consumers buy the new mandatory health- insurance plans.
QSSI has been paid an estimated $150 million so far, but officials couldn’t say how much more the company might collect on the repair contract.

Hoekstra lying through his teeth.
On June 22, 2006, Hoekstra made headlines by announcing at a press conference in the Capitol that weapons of mass destruction had been located in Iraq in the form of 500 chemical weapons.

I will not be voting for Pete Hoekstra because he was a hand puppet for Dick Cheney.
I will however be voting against Debbie Stabenow from which Hoestra will benefit.

Really getting tired of Snyder acting as if he is worried about offending liberals.

They hid Bin Laden from us for ten years and now they're shooting U.S. soldiers at random... but we're still going to give them $2.3 billion in aid this year.

After Osama involved himself in the Trayvon affair and admitting women to Augusta National Golf Club, this one will probably warrant a summit meeting at Camp David.

Why you don't elect illegal residents
Obama warns 'unelected' Supreme Court against striking down health law
President Osama, employing his strongest language to date on the Supreme Court review of the federal health care overhaul, cautioned the court Monday against overturning the law -- while repeatedly saying he's "confident" it will be upheld.
The president spoke at length about the case at a joint press conference with the leaders of Mexico and Canada. The president, adopting what he described as the language of conservatives who fret about judicial activism, questioned how an "unelected group of people" could overturn a law approved by Congress.
Apparently, the Al-Qaeda wanna be that somebody elected president, doesn't know that it is the Supreme Court's job to determine the constitutionality of new laws in this country.
This is the problem with electing foreigners who do not understand how the checks and balances between the three branches of our government work.
