Poor Obama...

Continuing with the important Obama Care Act, we have successfully gained a foothold on whether we want to enroll online or through our employer. I stumbled upon an opinion article from USA Today called "HealthCare.gov feeds doubts about rollout: Our view" written by their editorial board. In this article they happened to favor that this website is supposed to 'help' the American people with their health insurance is having glitches because the whole act in itself is much unorganized. The author really wants the reader to side with them. However, I tend to strongly disagree! Let’s be real, this is the internet and glitches happen. And just because it is Obama's idea to push this through, it does NOT mean that it is HIS fault because the site is experiencing difficulties.
Sure, I agree with the author with his claims regarding that the site was experiencing some sort of lag due to the fact that hundreds of people are trying to load the site at once, but I just cannot wrap my mind around the fact that some people are arguing that this is Obama's fault. Some people are claiming that this is also a way of congress simply buying time because they were so unsure of this act actually going through.
The author is intending the audience to be the general public; they would like the reader to really think about other scenarios as to why the site is experiencing so many problems. They ask questions like, is there a deeper meaning to all of this, or if Obama really had good intentions would he not of made sure to check the site over and over again? I think that some people are looking for a deeper meaning of the website problems, when it is just simply lagging due to the mass amounts of usage.
