That 14 year old minor, who was married off by the Emir of Katsina State, has reacted to claims that she was married against her will.
The minor, Habiba Isiyaku, whose father, Isiyaku Tanko, accused the Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Usman, of marrying off to her abductor Jamilu Lawal, has come out to deny her father's claim, saying that she changed her religion and married in her own volition.
Tanko had accused the Emir of marrying off his daughter to her alleged abductor, Lawal.

The minor was forcefully taken from the secondary school she attended in Kudun Kankara, Kastina State by Lawal.
Habiba claimed she was neither coerced nor forced into accepting Islam as a religion or getting married to her said abductor, Lawal.
The minor spoke before a joint committee session with officials of Katsina Emirate, Katsina chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, and security personnel.
She said, "I took all decisions in my own volition.
"I chose on my own to become a Muslim and relocated to the emir's palace.
"I did it because I was afraid of what I might go through and the threat coming from my parents.
The Emir said Tanko had written the police, claiming that his daughter was abducted by Lawal. Lawal is one of the Emir's servants.

The Emir explained that the palace had conducted internal investigations upon receiving the petition from the police.
Their finding showed that Habiba was not forced into marriage or converted to a Muslim as claimed by her father.
He noted that Habiba had shown interest in marrying Jamilu and a wedding was conducted by the Emirate who received a bride price of N50,000.
The Emir said, after the investigation, Tanko had written to the emirate, apologizing for the allegations.

Swimming Stones / Isaac(squared)
A kinetic water sculpture fountain sculpted by internationally acclaimed artist Christian Tobin Isaac(squared) brings Aurora the most mysterious essence of both science and art. Here the hydrostatic force of water unleashing the kinetic energy of stone creates a work of compelling vitality inviting us to look and linger, talk and even dream. These four massive granite obelisks - 12 feet in height, weighing 4000 pounds each- feature top-stone segments, rhythmically rocking and swiveling, balanced on cushions of water. Each time a top-stone centers itself on the middle of its tower and is restored to equilibrium, the power of gravity is once more proclaimed: each turn of a stone replying to the center of the earth. The elemental effect of the force of water through each of these commanding rock pillars cascading onto the pedestrian walk below brings us together with the laws of nature and the transformational power of art.

Before there was The Gap.
(submitted by Anne)
Before there was The Gap.
(submitted by Anne)
OMG – I had a Dashiki!! I thought I was too cool!!!
There is something I love about this family!
I know that look well, my sister always wears it. It says, "I am the best mother in the whole world, and look how perfect my children are. I am the best! No one is a better mother than I am, and you can tell by how happy we all are. Look at me! Look at my children!! They are the best children in the world, because I am the best mother!"
My husband had that same shirt the kids are wearing when he was in high school (1979). He broke it out and wore it for his 50th birthday party. It was a 60s themed party and he got a giant Afro wig and grew a beard. Hilarious! Wish I could post his picture here!
I wish these pics had dates. I'm guessing this one is about 1976….?
I think Dad might be a social science lecturer
I had that shirt when I was a kid and my mom would have to fight me to make me take it off! I got it a Busch Gardens, Tampa. It was in a gift shop outside of Stanley Falls Flume ride and they called it a Dashiki. Too cute. Thanks for the memory.
I find this picture quite funny because it's usually the mother in the family that orchestrates what they will wear. But she's wearing a simple grey sweater when everyone else is wearing loud! I wonder if she's silently chuckling inside thinking "30 years from now everyone is gonna ask 'what are they wearing?!'"
But I agree, the kids are cute and it is a nice picture. But one thing- why is one child wearing yellow turtleneck and other kids wearing black? Are the black shirt the boys and yellow is the girl???
I agree, do you see the little bit of the sort of almost smile going on with her…it is pretty smug. She knows what she is doing, let me tell you 😉
The kids are adorable! I could be wrong, but I *think* those are Lapp outfits, from northern Scandinavia. The dad's shirt, on the other hand…words fail me.
Oh man! I used to have that shirt. Got it at Goodwill in ~1989. I wish I still had it! It was my favorite shirt.
This picture reminds me of the many missionary prayer cards we had hanging on our fridge when I was a kid. Perhaps it's the shirts on the kids, but I feel the need to go pray for these people now. 🙂
Oh man! Now that you mention it I totally see it!! XD it's like they are wearing the traditional clothes of the nation they are missionnary to…!
I think this picture is adorable. Yep, the shirts are "Hippie looking"… but they all look so nice; like the kind of family everyone likes. The kids are cute as the dckens (can't tell tho if they are all girls, or if there's one boy in the bunch… darned uni sex hair cuts ala Dorothy Hammel). I think mom is quietly beautiful…& how many sweaters did I have like that?? Dad looks like a nice mild dweeb… & resembles a man I knew in the past. All in all this picture makes me smile…a good way to start the day.I wonder what they all look like now.
Forget the kids, check out Dad's shirt. Epic.
I loved this picture… the kids (all girls? Or is the one kid a boy? Can't tell) are adorable. Mom is simply beautiful.The man looks like someone I knew years ago…though no doubt there's lots of "look alikes" running around out there. And yep, the outfits are a bit "Hippie print" but they still are fun & kind of nifty in "for that time period" way.
Very "Brady Bunch" – adorable!
please tell me the parents were in the peace corps in africa… no, wait- that still doesn't make this right…
I think this is adorable! The kids are too cute! Mom doesn't look too thrilled, though…
The kids' outfits match the book spines on the fake backdrop. Awesome.
The look on the mom's face is priceless. It's like a private secret between she and the photographer & they both knew this picture would land on AFP one day.
Haha, so right!
No, that smug smile on Mom's face is because she dutifully dressed her kids in the shirts Grandma/Mother in Law sent, and went and had a family picture taken, not before, however convincing husband to wear something almost as "colorful" as the kids' shirts, while she played it safe with her grey cowl neck!
"between HER and the photographer"

Dan Walters: Dems strengthen union noose
California's ongoing budget crisis provides ample evidence that public employee unions wield immense - even hegemonic - influence over the Capitol's Democratic majority.
Every move on the budget affects those drawing public paychecks, and Democrats won't make any move without at least consulting the affected unions.
Not only are Democrats highly dependent on the unions for campaign contributions, but an astonishing number of Democratic lawmakers come directly from their ranks.
One of them is Assemblyman Tony Mendoza, D-Artesia, whose official biography describes him as "an active member in United Teachers Los Angeles and as a representative to the California Teachers Association and the National Education Association." And if anyone doubts the power that they and other unions exert over legislative policy, he or she need look no further than Mendoza's Assembly Bill 155, which cleared the Assembly on a largely party-line vote and is now pending in the Senate.
Spurred by the city of Vallejo's bankruptcy filing, a powerful coalition of public worker unions is sponsoring the legislation that would, in effect, preclude cities, counties and other local governments from seeking bankruptcy protection unless a board dominated by union-friendly Democrats gave its blessing.
The board is the nine-member California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission, which was created 18 years ago to monitor bonds and other public debt and has labored in virtual obscurity ever since.
Mendoza's bill would not only empower the commission to regulate bankruptcy filings but allow it to impose conditions on the filings they do allow, which is the nut of the issue.
Local governments that file for bankruptcy may be able to abrogate their labor contracts, but if AB 155 becomes law, the debt commission could - or at least the unions hope they would - block abrogation.
Vallejo offers a cogent example of how local government can get into deep financial trouble. It - much like the state itself - enjoyed a gusher of revenues from the housing bubble, both property taxes and sales taxes. And it squandered that windfall on lavish contracts for its unionized employees, especially police and firefighters, thanks to their unions' political influence.
When the bubble burst, Vallejo found itself with a cost structure that its revenues could not support, again emulating the state, and its City Council decided that bankruptcy was the only alternative.
Had AB 155 been law, however, Vallejo would have had to seek permission from the debt commission to file bankruptcy, and the city's unions would have appealed to the board's Democratic majority to either block bankruptcy or force the city to retain the contracts that had made it insolvent.
AB 155 would essentially duplicate the oversight that federal courts now exercise on bankruptcies, so the only rationale for the legislation is to expand public employee union power.

WASHINGTON -- Ryan Langerhans is one of many Washington Nationals who doesn't know exactly what his role will be with the rebuilding team.
With one swing of the bat Wednesday, Langerhans provided an example of what he can do -- and the winning margin in Washington's 7-6 victory over the Houston Astros.
"It feels good, getting that hit in a close game and giving us a big lift," said Langerhans, whose three-run homer in the fifth inning helped Jason Bergmann (2-5) win for the first time in more than two months. "I've got to be more consistent with it, not just do stuff like that every now and then."
The lefty-hitting Langerhans, already traded twice this season, had been platooning in center field with the right-handed Nook Logan. But with Langerhans struggling at the plate, Logan started against righty pitchers in the first two games of the series against Houston. And making things more muddled in the outfield, Alex Escobar, sidelined all season, is expected to join the Nationals by next week and play in center every day.
Langerhans is "very useful," manager Manny Acta said. "He can play the three outfield (positions) and throws well. He's got some pop, as everybody saw today."
Someone will have to be taken off the roster to make room for Escobar. Factor in that last-place Washington wants to build for the future and that the July 31 trade deadline is approaching, and the status of more than one player is up in the air.
"You just have to remove yourself from that," said Langerhans, who was in a 2-for-23 rut before his first-pitch homer off Jason Jennings (1-6). "All anybody can do is go out there and play and let that stuff take care of itself."
Langerhans' homer was his fifth since arriving from Oakland on May 2. It made the score 7-2 and came after Jennings walked two batters.
"That's something you can't do -- put guys on base and give up the one big hit," said 2002 NL Rookie of the Year Jennings, who lost his fifth consecutive start, the worst stretch of his career.
When Bergmann dumped a single to shallow center with two outs in the fifth, it meant every player in Washington's starting lineup had at least one hit or one run scored.
Bergmann, meanwhile, earned his first victory since May 14, when he took a no-hitter into the eighth against Atlanta. After that start, though, the right-hander went on the disabled list and has struggled since his return.
He gave up solo homers to Mike Lamb in the second inning and Luke Scott in the fifth. Then, in the seventh, Houston scored four runs -- and nearly tied the game, but first baseman Dmitri Young threw out Lance Berkman at the plate to end the inning.
Bergmann departed after giving up consecutive singles to Lamb and Scott to open the seventh. Both eventually scored, and it was 7-5 with Chris Burke on third and Berkman on second when Carlos Lee hit a hard shot to third baseman Ryan Zimmerman.
Burke scored as Zimmerman's throw to first pulled Young off the bag. Berkman rounded third and headed for home, but Young's throw to catcher Jesus Flores beat him easily.
"It was a big play, right there," Flores said.
Berkman said he went on his own, rather than being sent by third base coach Doug Mansolino.
"It's one of those deals where if you're safe it looks like a good play -- and if you're out, it looks like a bad play," Berkman said.
Their big lead down to one run, the Nationals held on, thanks to a perfect eighth from Jon Rauch and a scoreless ninth from closer Chad Cordero, who earned his 17th save. The Astros put the potential tying run on third with two outs on a throwing error by Zimmerman and a wild pitch, but Hunter Pence grounded out to end the game.
"I actually thought we were going to tie it up," said Houston manager Phil Garner, whose team has lost seven of its last eight road games.
Nationals 2B Ronnie Belliard's RBI double in the second made it 4-1 and extended his hitting streak to 11 games, matching the longest for any Nationals player in 2007. ... Young's single in the third extended his hitting streak to 10 games. He entered the day leading the NL with a .341 batting average and increased that to .342. ... Zimmerman said his right wrist was fine after being smacked by Pence's ball in the ninth.

Egg Freezing – Not As Successful As You Might Think
NPR is running a typical media hype story on oocyte preservation (egg freezing), featuring the standard happy family photo with their "miracle" baby born after thawing and fertilizing a cryopreserved egg.
It's a heartwarming story and a pretty photo, but far from a complete picture of what women need to know about this still experimental fertility preserving procedure. Nowhere does the article tell women the actual success rates of occyte cryo-preservation.
So before you run out to freeze your eggs, know this – the chance of having a pregnancy after egg freezing is less than a 50/50 shot – at most about 39%, according to the latest data.  That's about the same odds you'd have if you just wait till 40 to try to get pregnant on your own. In addition, while somewhere between 1 and 2 thousand infants have been born using the technology, we do not yet have data on their long term outcomes. Read more »

Famed "Kill Bill" director Quentin Tarantino is telling everyone which flicks were his faves from 2010, and he's not embarrassed to admit a love for heartwarming animation.
"Toy Story 3" stole the top spot on Tarantino's list, beating out the critically acclaimed "The Social Network." Mandy Moore's "Tangled" came in at No. 5, with "How To Train Your Dragon" holding down the No. 17 spot.
Other films receiving the Tarantino seal of approval include "True Grit," "The Town," "Kick-Ass" and "The Fighter."
His list, originally posted on the Tarantino Archives, includes a solid mix of blockbusters and low-budget films, as well as a few um… surprising titles. Not that we weren't in stitches during "Jackass 3-D," but somehow we just can't picture the guy who brought us "Reservoir Dogs" laughing at a porta-potty catapult. Plus, was "Knight and Day" really that good?
You can see the complete list below, which also includes a surprising absence. Where's "Black Swan"?
1. "Toy Story 3"
2. "The Social Network"
3. "Animal Kingdom"
4. "I Am Love"
5. "Tangled"
6. "True Grit"
7. "The Town"
8. "Greenberg"
9. "Cyrus"
10. "Enter the Void"
11. "Kick-Ass"
12. "Knight and Day"
13. "Get Him to the Greek"
14. "The Fighter"
15. "The King's Speech"
16. "The Kids Are All Right"
17. "How to Train Your Dragon"
18. "Robin Hood"

THE state's most senior lawyer quit his post via a one-sentence email to the Newman Government.
Solicitor-General Walter Sofronoff, credited as being the architect of the anti-bikie laws, abruptly resigned from his post on Monday, with speculation he had fallen out with Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie.
News of his resignation came hours before the Government faced one of its toughest legal tests as the United Motorcycle Council took the first step in challenging the anti-bikie laws in the High Court.
Mr Sofronoff, who has been Solicitor-General for Queensland since 2005, had a big part to play in drafting the Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment Bill but had little to do with the Criminal Law Criminal Organisations Disruption Amendment Bill 2013.
It is believed Mr Sofronoff was annoyed that the Government leaked a memo that implied he wrote all the laws.
Mr Bleijie yesterday paid tribute to Mr Sofronoff's efforts but sidestepped Opposition calls in Parliament to release his resignation letter.
"The reasons for the Solicitor-General resigning are a matter for the Solicitor-General,'' he said. "It's not for me, it's not for Members of this House, it's not for the Opposition Leader."
Bleijie's lips sealed on resignation
However, Mr Bleijie applauded Mr Sofronoff, saying he had played an important public role for Queenslanders.
"I just thank completely the Solicitor-General for the advice that he has given with respect of those laws because those laws are revolutionary in Australia,'' he said.
Government sources denied there had been a falling out but conceded Mr Sofronoff had a reputation as being frank and forthright.
The Solicitor-General's role was first introduced in Queensland in 1893 and, unlike other states, is a part-time position.
Mr Sofronoff was being paid more than $300,000 a year for acting on the state's behalf but was also able to work privately.
Premier Campbell Newman echoed Mr Bleijie, saying: "I simply thank him for the great support he's provided to the Government."
Mr Sofronoff's office said he was unavailable, while Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk said she was "very concerned" and called on the Attorney-General to fully explain the resignation.

text: The 911's iconic shape hides a thoroughly modern sports car, delivering performance and relative refinement. All of the engines have been updated, with the base model getting a 370-hp six and the Carrera S a 420-hp six, both matched with a seven-speed manual. The 911 is quick, with sublime handling that makes you feel directly connected to the machine. The exhaust note is terrific, and driving the automated manual is just as thrilling as the stick shift. It isn't particularly taxing on long trips, thanks to its relatively supple ride and sufficient sound deadening to limit headaches, but the low-slung cabin makes access a challenge. The interior is beautifully crafted, but the numerous buttons and switches can be daunting.

Painting Interior Panels (Nissan 350Z)
http://www.gofasthavefun.ca Ah the dreaded Nissan 350Z interior panels where all the paint scratches off. I don't know why Nissan decided to poorly paint these little trim bits in these interiors, but they did. And it's up to us to restore them so it doesn't look so embarrassing at the next car meet. In this video I go over an easy and durable way I like to paint interior panels. The key is to use "high build" filler primer and truck bed liner or texture paint if you chose. I like the truck bed line because it's decided to be chemical resistant and be put through very harsh environments. So if you use it in the interior it's going to last a long time.

text: Thulebasen - Forever Grinning by Tambourhinoceros published on 2012-02-13T13:53:04Z "Forever Grinning" is released worldwide, digitally and in only 500 copies on a transparent 12", through the Danish label Tambourhinoceros (Iceage, Treefight For Sunlight) and the Norwegian label Splendour (Siinai, 120 Days) on March 26. The EP contains remixes by Eric Copeland, Gala Drop, Lucky Dragons, Hhappiness, and Lamburg Tony After an eventful year in Europe, Thulebasen gears up for 2012 and the rest of the world with the "Forever Grinning" EP. Five of Thulebasen's friends, dotted across the map, have submitted remixes for the six-track EP: Eric Copeland in New York, Hhappiness in Stockholm, Lucky Dragons in LA, Lamburg Tony in Grindsted, and Gala Drop in Lisbon. In February 2011, Thulebasen released "Gate 5", an album off of which the band toured relentlessly in clubs and at festivals large and small across the continent, from Iceland Airwaves and Roskilde Festival to the local Sejerø Festival. Simultaneously pushing for new potential audiences and reactions, Thulebasen also explored new means and modes for creating live music. The band played at the Danish Pavilion for the 2011 Venice Biennale, for example, and accompanied the multimedia artist Stine Marie Jacobsen for a four-hour audiovisual concert at the Charlottenborg Kunsthal in Copenhagen.

2005 Jeep WK Lift Option
So, since I am getting new shocks, I figured i'd lift my jeep while I'm at it. I want at least 2", maybe 2.5-3" so I can fit bigger off road tires and have ground clearance.
What do you think of the lifts from these companies?
Maybe the 3.5"? http://www.jackit.com/jeep/cherokee/wk_05-08.html#3
Re: 2005 Jeep WK Lift Option
Dude use the search, but ill be brief;
4xguard- the shiznit
rocky-road- parts suck and so does customer support
Rock Krawler lift- just an overpriced 2" lift
Re: 2005 Jeep WK Lift Option
Dude, if you can wait a week or 2 I will be selling my skyjacker poly spacer lift. It a 2" lift, only used it for 8 mos. OME just came in last week, needed to upgrade to support the weight of the winch and new steel bumper.
PM me if really interested, if not go OME.
Re: 2005 Jeep WK Lift Option
Ive got the rockyroad and I havent had any issues and I'm happy with it. I didn't have any probs but my cousin ordered from them and is having some shipping/customer service issues.... But if it does wind up failing on me or f-n up than I will just get the Superlift 4" kit :D. Skyjacker has a 2" kit too btw

Since it's been a while I may as well update this profile thing. I'm now 17 and not much has changed since I was last here, well except for me I guess and even then I've barely changed.
I'm still into the same things
as before. I am a lover of games, obssessed with Anime and still
hold an uncontrollable devotion to Hayley Williams and
Not much needs to be said really since I'm probably just a forgotten memory by now but do not fear, I will return full in force, probably.

Today we left Glasgow and headed for Belfast. To get to Belfast we needed to drive a few hours across Scotland to the ferry terminal in Cairnryan. Unfortunately we got caught in traffic due to a motorcycle vs car accident we were literally only 4km away from the ferry terminal but we were stuck in traffic for over an hour and a half! A helicopter came and collected the driver of the motorcycle and when we drove past the scene we saw the motorbike was literally in half. The actually ...

Laura Linney gives the great comic performance of the season in the rueful story of a brother and sister whose father is descending into senile dementia. By Tim Robey
Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman pull off a graceful acting duet in The Savages that's something to see. They play a competitive brother and sister, semi-estranged from each other and their elderly dad, Lenny Savage.
But there's not a hint of one-upmanship between the stars: they chide and coax each other into doing the best work possible, as if the goal of each was to secure an Oscar nomination for the other. Linney got one, and can console herself that Hoffman is hardly impoverished in the awards department.
Over the course of Tamara Jenkins's rueful comedy, the pair come together to make arrangements for Lenny (Philip Bosco), who has reached a stage of senile dementia where he needs to be taken into care.
Linney's Wendy is a failed playwright living in New York's East Village, for whom temping mainly means free stationery and an opportunity to apply for dubious academic grants.
Meanwhile, Jon (a huffy and guarded Hoffman) mopes around in the drab hinterland of Buffalo, NY, an equally tragic theatre professor working on his magnum opus about Bertolt Brecht's funny side.
You'd have to file The Savages under bleak, but it's bleak with the best of them, and tender with it. Wendy and Jon watch through their hands when Lenny picks The Jazz Singer for his retirement-home movie night - the African-American nursing staff aren't at all prepared for Al Jolson's blackface routine.
Some of the theatre talk in Jenkins's screenplay is right on the money, too - when a hysterical Wendy first proposes flying out to Arizona to scoop Lenny up, Jon retorts with the priceless: "We are not in a Sam Shepard play."
The film asks a real question - admittedly a glum one - and it's whether the choices we make at the end of our parents' lives are for their own good or for ours. The answer's both, whichever way you slice it.
It might have sunk right into the doldrums without the stars, so helpfully Linney gives the great comic performance of this season, a plate-spinning marvel of guilt-displacement and manic upward mobility.
If none of this is enough and you insist on coming out with a smile on your face, too, the exhilarating and surprising last shot will achieve just that.
Talking of last shots, what Paul Haggis does with the American flag in his follow-up to Crash is kind of predictable, but there's no denying that it puts over a potent image of patriotic disillusionment - the emblem of a tattered nation with topsy-turvy values.
In the Valley of Elah takes on the spectre of Iraq, and "spectre" is very much the word, since we're dealing with the post-mortem testimony of a murdered soldier, and experiencing it in glitchy video clips reconstructed from his mobile phone's memory banks.
The plot of this anti-war forensic mystery is not only mechanical but badly oiled, and the footage we're seeing gets schematically parcelled out to fill the soldier's dad (Tommy Lee Jones) with more doubt and horror about What Went On Over There with each new snippet he receives by email.
It's on American soil that Jones's son has been burnt and hacked to pieces - fittingly, but really too fittingly, which is typical Haggis. Charlize Theron, meanwhile, must retrieve the case from the clutches of sinister military jurisdiction and the indifference of her sexist colleagues.
It's an acrid watch, as it probably should be, and Jones turns in a driven, sorrowful masterclass, easily earning his best actor Oscar nod.
It's just a pity his character is such a device - a military police veteran who seems to have the rosiest view of the armed services till Haggis wakes him up. Did he snooze through Vietnam too?

There's a strong feel for the pressures of childhood in this modest drama from Italian actor-director Kim Rossi Stuart, even if it occasionally lapses into the cute-kid syndrome beloved of too much world cinema. Eleven-year-old Tommi, abandoned by his mum (twitchy but effective Barbora Bobulova) and having to deal with his embittered dad (an OTT Stuart) is played by star-in-the-making Alessando Morace, cast for maximum adorability. Faults aside, it's disarming.
Man in the Chair
12A cert, 107 min
I was torn between wanting to indulge this moist elegy to Hollywood's forgotten heroes and wanting to pull the hair of all involved. Christopher Plummer plays an ornery ex-gaffer dragged out of retirement by a happy-go-lucky film student (Michael Angarano), who decides to make a worthy feature about the neglect of America's elderly. Michael Schroeder's movie has its heart in the right place, but that's more than can be said for the camera, quite often, and the crusty acting.
Intimate Enemies

Whether to fight barbarism with barbarism is the dilemma in this bombastic French shoot-'em-up about the Algerian war of independence, but the ethical dynamics are shouty and Florent Emilio Siri's direction like a rifle butt in the face.

Watching the unfortunate roll-out of the federally operated state healthcare exchanges, I cannot help but be reminded of the fate of President Lyndon B. Johnson—a man whose social agenda continues to successfully play out every day of our lives but whose legacy is stamped and marred by his failed war in Viet Nam.
Ask an American senior citizen whom they have to thank for Medicare—a program which also faced serious execution challenges in its first years of existence—or a low-income American for the name of the President responsible for Medicaid, and the name Lyndon Baines Johnson will likely not spring to their minds.
But ask an American of suitable age who was responsible for what is arguably America's dumbest war and they will likely offer up President Johnson.
Will this be the fate of Barack Obama?
While supporters will argue that the Obama Administration has never gotten the credit it deserves for bringing us back from a financial crisis that threatened to destroy our long-term economic opportunities; or for the millions of jobs returned during the first Obama term thanks to the President's efforts; or for making good on his promise to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan; or for the truly significant advances in acknowledging LGBT rights—including finally allowing gay Americans to serve openly in our armed services—will any of this ultimately matter in the Obama legacy if Obamacare fails due to screwed up computer programming?
In all likelihood, few of the accomplishments of the Obama years will be recalled in history if the President is left to wear the Scarlet Letter of the man who successfully struggled to make healthcare available to millions only to blow it up in the execution.
Accordingly, unless the administration can manage to pull off a bit of technological magic over the next two to three weeks, Obama may be doomed to suffer the same fate as LBJ—for all the good he may have done, the failure of the Obamacare execution may be what ultimately defines his presidency.
So, how does the President get past this and save not only what is left of his second term but his entire legacy?
By fixing the problems vexing the website that is the hub of the federally operated exchanges—and by doing it very, very quickly.
The problems in the system are two-fold, with the first involving the failure on the part of the website operators to recognize just how many people would come to check out the website upon launch.
This problem is easily solved.
If more people are visiting the website than expected, it is a fairly simple matter of adding more servers to handle the traffic. By all reports, the government has responded to this problem and is quickly getting to the point where this issue is nearing resolution.
The second problem, however, is far more serious and considerably more difficult to resolve.
