and the top democrat on the oversight committee, elijah cummings, called on issa to withdrawal the subpoena and issue a public apology. issa does not appear ready to do either of those things. another wing of the kill obama care wing was in florida. you might remember generation opportunity from the creepy uncle sam ads designed to convince people not to sign up for the health care exchanges. the group took that message to the university of miami on saturday, where creepy uncle sam posed with students at a tailgate party before the miami/virginia tech football game. generation opportunity told "the tampa bay times" that they "rolled in with a fleet of hummers, hired a popular student deejay, set up optout corn sets, hired eight brand ambassadors, aka, models with bullhorns to help out." brand ambassadors, nice. what you're looking at now are the students at the generation opportunity party, which looks like there's a lot of opportunity going on there, but there is another side to the obama care battle. there are people who are working day and night, seven days a week to make obama care work

. >> that was house oversight member elijah cummings questioning white house chief tech officer todd park. park was pulled away from his 24/7 task of working on the website to attend today's hearing on the rollout of healthcare.gov. we'll keep an eye on that hearing. with friends like this, you've all heard about this, form eer president bill clinton saying obama care should be changed. why did he do it. and duly foot noting. senator rand paul is foot noting his speeches but does it really matter. sahil kapur, michael tomasky and zerlina maxwell. gang, it's good to have you here. michael, i want to start with you because we had senator ted cruz giving his opinion on why he thinks president bill clinton is coming out swinging with these comments from yesterday. take a listen. >> that was certainly revealing, and it suggests perhaps that hillary clinton is looking to run away from president obama and run away from obama care. and that ought to be a signal to democrats, this thing isn't working. >> all right. so is that the line of thinking when the president has been out, president cli

ranking democrat elijah cummings fired back. >> nobody in this room, nobody in this country believes that republicans want to fix the website. for the past three years, the number one priority of congressional republicans has been to bring down this law. >> reporter: still, republicans argued the website's woes are partially political. they suggested the reason people had to create accounts before they could shop for coverage was the administration feared sticker shock when they saw the cost. a top technology officer at medicare, henry chao, insisted the white house had no role in that decision. >> absolutely not. it was a decision made on the results of testing. it would be pretty egregious and i understand that a lot of folks are wondering why the website is functioning the way it is, but to consciously know that it failed testing and to then put into production for people to use is not what we do. >> reporter: and the white house chief technology officer todd park, who appeared under subpoena, insisted they're slowly getting the problems fixed. >> the website is getting better eac

the obama administration is furious and so is ranking democrat elijah cummings. is he demanding chairman issa withdraw that subpoena. elise joins us. >> thanks, greta. >> who has been subpoenaed and why. >> this is the chief technology officer of the united states who works in the white house and he has been enlisted to help fix this struggling health karen rollment site. is he one of the main people helping to organize this effort. >> i thought jeffrey zions was one of the maim people his boss where the buck stops was h.h.s. secretary sebelius. who are these other people. >> you are right on both counts. no, they are bringing all the talent they have to the table for. this todd park is some guy who has done billions of dollars of work in healthcare it. they really trust him. they think is he going to be great. he is in all kinds of papers. but now darrell issa is saying that he needs it to show up to capitol hill to tell lawmakers what's going on. initially he refused to do that. >> when was he tasked to it fix the site? >> i believe in the beginning of october.

. >> and finally, i spoke to one of congressman elijah cummings constituents. she told me obama care would have her protected from these greedy insurance companies. >> i started my business, i got sick. and i was not on a corporate plan anymore. and my insurance company dropped me. after i had been ill. $50,000 of bills later within my first year in business, i was speechless. i didn't know what else to do. it was extremely difficult for me. i wish obama care and/or the affordable care act actually had been there for me, because the insurance wouldn't have had the opportunity to do that kind of thing to me. >> now, i think chris wallace at fox news sunday should get our three examples and put them on the sunday show. of course, it's positive news that these people are being helped. the facts are very clear. obama care saves lives and provides higher quality health care for all americans. higher quality health care for all americans. your policy has to have standards. you can hear from real americans here on "the ed show," or you can listen to the republican ope
