WHITE HOUSE NOTEBOOK: Obama hails Estonia success

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — President Barack Obama says he should have called on Estonia before last year’s botched rollout of his administration’s health care website.

At a news conference with President Toomas Hendrik Ilves, Obama hailed Estonia as one of the great success stories among nations that reclaimed their independence after the Cold War. He said the Eastern European nation had become “a model for how citizens can interact with their government in the 21st century.”
