Carney: We Never Expected the ‘Size Problem’ That Materialized on October 1st

"What we did not expect was that we would have the size problem that we had come October 1st. And if we had expected that, we wouldn't have been promoting the launch of the website and the run up to it in the way that we were. The president was very candid about that. I mean, it does not stand the test of logic to suggest that we somehow knew that the website would perform as poorly as it did, and a week before, four days before, we're encouraging people to go to it, and talking about how it would be fairly functional and effective. So there's no question, if the point of the selective leaks is to get everybody to recognize that the website performed terribly on October 1st. I don't think that's a point that anybody here is denying."
