PHP is fine is you want unmaintainable code.

The administration had over 31/2 years to set the site up, but instead waited until the last minute. Can you say incompetence?

If they are not using Spring or Struts frame work then they are using 10 year old technology perhaps JSP’s?

They could have used Twitter Bootstrap, which is free.

"Spring or Struts frame work"

Way over rated, IMHO, There is nothing wrong with JSP's, not the best approach but could be made to work ok. My guess is they are using CGIs, via some (unmaintainable) scripting language.

Written in HTML 3 and COBOL maybe?

Say what you might, but if it were written in Cobol, it would work... (coming from a former Cobol programmer)

Obamacare will create more impacted teeth and colons.

A you tube Hitler parody ?

Let the createful create....

" Facing such intense opposition from congressional Republicans, the administration was in a bunker mentality as it built the enrollment system, one former administration official said. Officials feared that if they called on outsiders to help with the technical details of how to run a commerce website, those companies could be subpoenaed by Hill Republicans, the former aide said. So the task fell to trusted campaign tech experts."

They called Sinatra "Ol' blue eyes", so based on that and the many, many pictures of Obama pouting I have come up wth a new nickname:

"Ol' purple lips"

Monkeys evolve into Democrat Spitehouse administrators.
