$1.2 billion Obamacare contract pays workers to do nothing

  • Every day it's something else. Or, more accurately, more of the same. I think I'm gonna be sick

      • Not too sure it is his butt you would have to suck. But then you would have to elbow Chrissy Matthews or some network news presidient, or the Exec Editor of the NYT out of the way.

  • Ehhh. Let me know when a government agency or contractor (non military) shows some kind of competence.

  • Dream democrat job, get paid to do nothing, just like congress and the white house..I wonder if they get expense paid vacations too?

    • Obama, on average, has spent almost if not over, half a billion dollars on travel (using Air Force One, etc.) it seems this is more than any other President at this point in their Presidencies.

      Wow... *sighs*

  • Makes you wonder who is behind the scenes at Serco. Is it an Obama contributor, one of Moochelle's school pals, or maybe a Soros crony.
