#1 WOW! Isn't he brilliant. That must explain the low number of people who are signed up for Facebook, Twitter, Pinehurst, etc...

And don't forget Google went out of business a decade or so ago because people couldn't figure out how to use it.

Dumbass!

#3 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid tried to explain the Obama administration's latest decision to extend a key ObamaCare deadline by saying ~~people~~ I AM just "~~are~~ not educated on how to use the Internet."

Harry Reid = " As I am, so is the nation "

Sorry Harry, but the internet has been available to US Citizens since 1990, and 81 % of the American public is internet savvey

Mr. Reid must be addressing the 19% of the population that just doesn't give a damn about Obamacare or the internet -- Somebody insert a Ven Diagram here.

#4 people just "are not educated on how to use the Internet."

But wait Harry, that would likely be the older folks, which would be in your favor right ?

#5 partially true

of the 60 senators who voted for this monstrosity, probably at least half were functionally illiterate about the internet

#7 The problem for Harry (deserves to be hanged) Reid is that things are the opposite: the people ARE internet savvy, and we know exactly what they are up to with Obamacare, and therefore want nothing to do with it.

They young, especially, are not signing up. As many predicted, if they had just been listened to 5 years ago and the interim since.po

#8 "Can't be our fault we passed the worst law in a hundred years; it's you idiots who've had 15 years to figure out how to use a browser!"

Yeah Dingy, that's convincing!

#9 Projection. Politicians who can't figure out how to create a functional web page and then call everyone else stupid.

#10 If Obama, Reid and the rest of the donks were so smart their system would have been idiot proof. Any programmer worth his or her salt knows that. So it sounds to me like the people who were not Internet savvy are the ones who attempted to create a working web site named HealthCare.gov and failed.
