Also says he didn’t even bother trying because “it was clear I wasn’t getting on.”
(CNN) – President Barack Obama tried to log onto the Obamacare website, according to Vice President Joe Biden, who added his name to those apologizing for the online snafu that has rocked the introduction of the administration’s sweeping health care initiative.
“The President tried to get online and my daughter tried to get online. I did not, because it was clear that I wasn’t getting online,” Biden told CNN’s sister network HLN on Wednesday.
The Vice President said Obama was told several weeks before the October 1 launch that the website was “ready to go.”
“Neither he and I are technology geeks and we assumed that it was up and ready to run,” Biden said.
The fact that it crashed and has experienced other problems since its debut is “inexcusable,” he said.
