"Blame it on Obama": and why its good

     The post by Carlos Aguirre, the author of "Congregating Monkeys", "Blame it on Obama" addresses the recent debacle of network problems surrounding the site HealthCare.Gov. In the post Aguirre doesn't attack or blame the president, to much dismay of those who read the title of this and had hoped for another thrashing of president Obama.

   
     A link to a CNN article pertaining to the presidents address to the issues about the rushed site and counters the negativity with going over the benefits of the Affordable Care Act. Aguirre brings up the fact that the sites problems are not with the site itself but with the impatient users. Aguirre does this but not to take away from the fact that the website itself services a majority of the country as most states opted out of creating a state specific site. He ends this part of the article with the hope that president Obama extends the deadline for people to be insured to help buffer the time the site was inaccessible to the masses.


     Aguirre then turns the blame to the Republicans and their ability to wait for the right time to "make it bigger deal than it is.". He goes on reiterating the fact that the problem not only lies with the site but with the user and the site opponents. Ending the article with propisation that Obama and the website be given a fair chance to see if it works, and if the site fails, then blame should be placed on the creators of the act.
