egardless of who is in charge, they have gone out of their way to make horrible estimates to make the current system look good.
their estimates weren't that terrible IMHO. They certainly aren't perfect though, and missed enrollments by a fair amount.

Also, to make your point valid, we'd have to assume Bush and/or congress appointed competent people to run it. I'm not willing to take that stance.
So wait, they are politicized and incompetent. Way to move the goalposts. I would be fine hearing that CBO is incompetent, I would likely not argue that. But the politicized argument, I do take exception with since the republicans appointed the head.
Bush didn't appoint this person, he appointed him to head of BLS and then congress appointed him to this position.

I didn't move the goalposts. The guy said CBO was politicized and you replied the Bush appointed the people as if that countered his point.
The only way that is a valid argument to make is if we believe competent people were appointed. I don't want to take that stance. Regardless of party, they have been woefully wrong and have toed the government mantra almost seemingly.

The link you provided also takes huge liberties with how they measure accuracy. They basically argued that the CBO plan was very accurate if we retroactively apply a bunch of data that they did not use or was not known at the time. Well no shite
