Comedian Jon Stewart hilariously exposes the true circumstances the 'minor glitches' of the Obama Care website. First of all, there are long delays and timeouts - likewise, as does the NFL; because so, Stewart sarcastically claims that Americans must love them like half-time shows. Secondly, the program's calculator does not even work - a device that has been used in computers since 1972. Other problems refer to the system disabling logins, providing wrong information on medicaid eligibility, and giving out confusing error messages. Sadly, the site's success rate is a pathetic ten percent! A rate so horrible, that twenty percent of dentists recommend sugared gum. Consequently, more Americans believed that Obama Care has been repealed because of the crazy malfunctions of the network. Stewart finds the situation insanely ironic, because usually webpages are designed to make any kind of login, sign in, or subscription incredibly easy. It is even personally attributed that sometimes with a click of a few buttons, he accidentally purchases online a season of "Night Court" through Amazon. To further elaborate on the ridiculous flaws of the website, the comedian states that spouses are titled as children as well - assuming the government promotes incest. Obama's speech at the Rose Garden is also specified upon, as the president tries to sell his defective medicare like how Gill from the Simpsons attempts to auction his useless junk. To cover up the failure of nineteen million Americans' pursue to log in, Obama glorifies the success of a random lady who happens to be the first woman from Delaware to thrivingly benefit from the medicare. Towards the end of Stewart's talk, co-host John humorously experiments logging into Obama Care as he is cartoonishly sucked into the site. As John tries to escape the technologic dimension, it is noticed that the software is coded in 4's and 5's instead of 1's and 0's, proving that the website is horribly messed up. Afterwards, the software is questioned to be ancient as a 1950's packman chases the guy.
Overall, Obama Care was successfully satired by having each disappointing fact revealed made fun of. The attention of the audience was grabbed by referring to puns of common entertainment and culture, therefore, making a boring political topic into an understandable issue and a laughing stock. The Daily News indirectly derided the concept of Obama Care by parodying the Obama Care website's deficiencies. Thus, that is why it had cleverly criticized the government diffusely in a way that many enjoyed as much as I did.
