President Obama stood front-and-center Monday morning to defend and explain the Affordable Care Act -- now known as ObamaCare -- and the problems that have plagued the central website launched earlier this month to sign up consumers.

Speaking in the White House Rose Garden, with another carefully crafted backdrop of ObamaCare users, the president said "there's no excuse" for the problems with the site.

But he appealed to the public to have patience and defended the product -- government-regulated health insurance -- that the troubled site is selling. For now, Obama said, consumers can "bypass the website," and instead apply over the phone or by mail.

Republicans were not convinced.

"ObamaCare is collapsing under its own weight, and a Rose Garden speech isn't going to fix it," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement.

Nothing's going to fix it. The system is too expensive, it can't attract enough enrollees, and it won't work even when it is "operational" to the extent it ever will be.
