Let's go to the audio sound bites now, the hearings today up on Capitol Hill with the joint committee looking into what happened here. Well, not a joint committee. Republicans and Democrats, House committee, looking into the glitches and the problems of the website. The chairman and the ranking member give their opening statements, and then the next members in the leadership give their opening statements while the guests and the targets are just sitting there at the witness table waiting. And everybody goes through the motions here. Then they finally get to the questions for the witnesses. During his opening statement, the ranking member, the Democrat on this committee is Henry "Nostrilitis" Waxman, Democrat from California. And here's a portion of his opening remarks.
WAXMAN: We have already documented a record of Republicans attempting to sabotage the Affordable Care Act, even by shutting down the government in order to try to repeal this law. Republicans have not shown us that they are trying to make this law work so far. If we want this law to work, we've gotta make it right, we've gotta fix it, not what the Republicans have been trying to do, nix it and repeal it.
