It's been a long week for the president and Democrats, who have been defending the troubled roll-out of HealthCare.gov.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius continues to push back against calls for her resignation. Speaking at a health insurance call center in Phoenix yesterday, she said the system is improving, with many people able to sign up online.
