elijah cummings, a top democrat, and congressman cummings have talked about how the president should have more knowledge of what was happening and there should an staff shake up at the white house. here's how jay carney responsed. >> we always listen to chairman cummings. i'm not aware of the specific comments that you're referring to, but i would simply say that he and others in congress who are strong supporters of obamacare and the affordable care act share in the president's frustration, and want as much as he does the problems to be fixed so the promise of the affordable care e act can be realized. >> concern not only from republicans but fellow democrats as well. >> libby casey, thank you very much. regarding what jay carney was saying today there is a report out that suggests the obama administration knew about the problems with the roll out of healthcare.gov as far back as march. administration officials admitted there were red flags about the site, and health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius was briefed on those problems just a few weeks before she testified in

we can show you where the sensors start to pick up slowing all the way back towards cummings skyway now. so 7:30 they hope to re-open some of the lanes and right that big rig and clear the accident scene. in the meantime, you may want to consider using 680 to the benicia bridge as an alternate. here's a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. they finally turned the metering lights on. they turned them on late but obviously all those backups on the eastshore freeway. traffic is having a hard time getting through towards the bay bridge toll plaza. so we were seeing better-than- usual traffic towards the pay gates. right now it's beginning to back in all lanes now that the metering lights are on towards at least the first overcrossing. fog is our other story this morning. be careful. it's dangerous in some spots. a travel advisory issued for parts of san francisco county near highway 1 and highway 35 and you can see it in a lot of our traffic cameras. if you have any questions about your commute, tune to 740-am and 106.9-fm. that's traffic, here's lawrence. >>> that fog is dangerous. visi

cummings, our democrat leader, start out by citing that the problem with this is that a lot of them opted for an exchange. mr. chao are these governors, aren't they all democrat governors? and they opted out of the exchange? are you aware of that? i have a question for all of you. do you -- each of you, i want to ask you this question. it's obvious obama care was not ready for prime time. also, from a security standpoint. were you aware of that, mr. powder, before october first? >> go did issue a report in june that there was a lot to do with a compressed schedule, krkt. were you aware of it. >>ives aware that there was security testing. >> you were aware that there were problems. >> okay. i said from an operational. >> i'm just trying to answer your question. >> well, operational and security. mr. batheman? >> i was aware of various modules that were to be part of the system weren't working. >> anything on security? operational and security. >> not as i recall, sir, no. i'm aware that any system needs constantly addressed. >> did you review a document that wasn't released yet, but it rev

, new jersey, continues to ask what allegedly drove paul ciancia to violence, police chief allen cummings no new answers tonight except what his family is going through. >> you know, they're confuse. they don't know how it happened. they don't know what caused it. >> reporter: all day, his family's neighbors were asking lots of questions. >> it's hard to believe, i guess, you know, coming from a small town like this that somebody could do something like that. >> reporter: trainer johnny crawford works at the local gym. >> nobody knew who he was. he was kind of like this mystery kid from this town. >> reporter: paul ciancia's alleged actions friday are baffling to those who did know him. a graduate of a roman catholic high school in delaware with no criminal history, the 23-year-old moved to los angeles a year and a half ago shortly after his mother died of a long-term illness. josh pagan grew up across the street from ciancia and went to school with his brother. >> when i, you know, had any interaction with him he was a friendly guy and there had to be something horrific to go on for him

for more, let's bring in congressman elijah cummings of maryland. good to have you with us tonight.ppreciate your time. >> good to be with you, ed. >> were you expecting this low enrollment early on, and are you alarmed as all the tv anchors are that only 50,000 people have signed up nationally for obama care? >> i expected a low enrollment, because i had studied the massachusetts plan just like you did, ed. and so, you know, i expected that. the other thing that i did not expect early on is that so many governors would have refused to expand medicaid. because that would have taken care of a lot of people. but unfortunately, they did not. but i, like you, ed, believe that as time goes on, a lot of people will be sign uping up. the interest is phenomenal. and, again, we've had some problems with the website. but todd par, the technology superstar who is working on this, has made it clear that by december 1st, we should see vast improvements in the website. and so i'm looking forward to that. >> would you see these negative reports out there, and there's no comparison to what has happ

with us from capitol hill, congressman elijah cummings, ranking member of the government reform committeegood afternoon, sir. >> good afternoon, martin. >> congressman, what ask does it feel like to sit next to chairman issa, who has single handedly rendered his committee almost entirely irrelevant, because every single hearing is never about improving the lot of the american people, it's about showcasing mr. issa's skills as a delusional prosecutor, who would not have been out of place in the salem witch hunt trials of 1692. >> i can -- i think the best way to describe it is frustrating. when i think about -- >> frustrating, sir? i'm sure you can find language more descriptive. >> no, it's frustrating. when i think about what we could be doing, when i think about all of the people that, for example, want the affordable care act to work exactly the way it was intended to. when i think about the time that we waste, and the distractions that we pursue, the headlines that are put out there with no facts to back them up by chairman issa. all of those things take us away from where the america

i asked him directly of the charges of elijah cummings.im about the score of political points. >> to me, this is the most inexplicable actions of one of the elected representatives against their own people. >> and here is governor scott's response. >> now is the fact that they can't put together an exchange that they said they could do. look, they said this is their plan. this was their plan. we didn't pass this. the federal government passed this. >> how will you get your uninsured floridians? >> we changed our economy. the four years before i became governor, the state lost 832,000 jobs. state debt increased by $5.2 million. now we have the private sector. >> are the jobs that have health insurance? >> absolutely. one of two things will happen. you will either get insurance through your employer or when you have a job, you can take your money and buy health care. you get to spend the money the way you want to spend it. >> all right. almost 25% of florida's residents are uninsured. that is the second highest percentage among the 50 states

representative darrell issa chairs the committee while elijah cummings serve as the ranking member. >> the committee will come to order. the oversight committee exists to secure two fundamental principles. first, americans have a right to know the money government takes involuntarily from them is well spent. second, americans deserve an efficient, effective government that works for them. our duty on the oversight and government reform committee is to, in fact, protect these rights. our solemn responsibility is to hold government accountable to taxpayers because taxpayers have a right to know the money government takes from them is well spent. it's our job to work tirelessly with citizen watch dogs to deliver facts to american people and bring genuine reform to federal beaurocracy. three and a half years ago, closer to four, in a partisan vote, the house of representatives passed the patient protection affordable care act, commonly referred to as obama care. the act gave this administration more than three years to implement, gave them virtually unlimited money, ensured them for all p
