This post originally appeared on Slate.An IT problem has never escalated faster than the president s Rose Garden speech Monday addressing the problems with Healthcare.gov. He could no longer outsource responding to user complaints. At first, the White House had said the headaches signing people up for health care coverage were just technical glitches, but now the sheer number of those glitches defies that explanation. Reporting about deeper systemic problems suggest that fixes will not come quickly. As my colleague Matthew Yglesias explains, adding more bodies to the problem adds more complexity, which may exacerbate the problem. It s hard to untangle Christmas lights by committee. gt;Barack Obama doesn t like to play the action-hero president where the application of his overwhelming will is supposed to directly correlate with a snappy solution.

President Obama s victory over Mitt Romney in last Tuesday s presidential election was driven, in part, by the president s strength in urban areas, where robust support cushioned the incumbent against electoral deficits in rural America. But almost a week after the election, it is now becoming clear just how lopsided President Obama s victory was in some cities: in dozens of urban precincts, Mitt Romney earned literally zero votes.The Phildadelphia Inquirer reported today that, in 59 precincts in inner-city Philadelphia, the GOP nominee received not a single vote. And stanley portugal according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, nine precincts in Cleveland returned zero Romney votes. At first blush, it seems almost imp stanley thermos mug ossible: how, even in some of the most heavily Democratic strongholds in the country, could a major party s presidential candidate fail to earn even one vote Incredulous Republicans might be tempted to indict voter frau stanley cup d as a culprit - in reaction to the numbers, Steve Miskin, a spokesman for Republicans in Pennsylvania s state legislature touted the state s voter ID law, which did not apply to last Tuesday s election, and avowed a need to continue ensuring the integrity of the ballot.
