You COULD wait until the book comes out, OR you could make weaselzippers your first stop every day and get so much more, as it breaks, than a post Obama wrap up in hard cover. You could also hit the donation button at weaselzippers and do your country a favor.

Company White House Awarded NO BID CONTRACT To Build ObamaCare Exchange Previously Mishandled More Than 20 Top Government IT Projects


Of course the White House had their reasons for hiring CGI.
Via WaPo:
The lead contractor on the dysfunctional Web site for the Affordable Care Act is filled with executives from a company that mishandled at least 20 other government IT projects, including a flawed effort to automate retirement benefits for millions of federal workers, documents and interviews show.
CGI Federal, the main Web site developer, entered the U.S. government market a decade ago when its parent company purchased American Management Systems, a Fairfax County contractor that was coming off a series of troubled projects. CGI moved into AMS’s custom-made building off Interstate 66, changed the sign outside and kept the core of employees, who now populate the upper ranks of CGI Federal.
They include CGI Federal’s current and past presidents, the company’s chief technology officer, its vice president for federal health care and its health IT leader, according to company and other records. More than 100 former AMS employees are now senior executives or consultants working for CGI in the Washington area.
Thank You WaPo, Mr Kerpen. and Zip.
