The writer uses words that minimize the extent of the problem.
“bollixed-up”
“goofed”
“sputtering start”

I’m surprised he didn’t call it a “glitch.”

They want you to think it’s just a bunch of technical problems, and that the reader is too stupid to understand them.

This language is chosen deliberately to influence peoples’ views on the subject, and to make sure they think the correct thing: that 0’s people are doing a good job but there are these difficult nerdy problems that they had and are now solving.

ObamaCare has bigger problems than the website. The pain hasn’t even begun to start.

A glitch used to be a minor imperfection in type setting before printing. This ain’t a glitch. This will destroy peoples lives and lively hood.
It needs to be repealed and those that supported it over the objections of the people need to be thrown out of office.

As opposed to 'disastrous', 'botched', "problem plagued", "failure filled" or any other negative description of a messed up program enacted by Republicans.

Give it 6 months, and the writer will simply quip, “Everybody has to pay their taxes!”.
