from u/barbs:

The President announced they were partnering with Google to create a screening website during the press conference on Friday, and a reporter asked a question afterward that basically stated “according to Google, they don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.”

However, rather than make the President look bad, it made Google look bad, so Google clarified, via a series of frantic tweets, that they were indeed creating a website for the Feds, and explained how it would be rolled out in the coming days.

It was actually hilarious, because the President was announcing how all these titans of retail and tech were stepping up to help America, but the reporter made Google look like a petty little bitch. Only an emergency PR blitz saved face.

The tweet series printout was what the President dropped.

The Obamacare website was just a giant kick back scheme. Total bullshit!

The Obamacare website was handled by a company in Virginia called CGI. Their policy is to hire kids right out of college. They hired half of my '09 CompSci grad class, and I knew from that info alone the website would be a fucking disaster before it ever launched.

Google, on the other hand (like em or not), employs a lot of brilliant coders despite their idiot politics. It's no shock at all that they can develop a landing page with a questionnaire that redirects to maps/directions to the nearest testing site while also notifying the testing site of potential new "customers".

Anything obummer did was over funded to siphon money from the taxpayers.

Yeah, the ground. I'm suprised no one behind him laughed or even smiled.
