Obamanation? I thought it was the Obamageddon? 

As for when / how etc etc. The point of the matter is RH should be able to keep up with Business demand since they are providing a business subscription service. 

#1 recently RHN has been very spotty
#2 Few months ago we had RHN downtime due to "infiltrated servers"
#3 having a local satalitte / mrepo server shouldn't even come up in the discussion, as it should be a reliable service (although I do agree that you should have a staging server locally).
