"Some people are calling for her to be fired, to me, that’s kind of like firing Captain Smith on the Titanic after it hit the iceberg. It’s not going to do much right now."

She should not be fired but charged with criminal negligence.

The captain of this “Titanic” is one Barak Hussein Obama.

“It’s not going to do much right now.”

Soooooo.... what he’s saying is ‘what difference at this point does it make?’

It’s called ‘Accountability.’

Maybe he should look it up.

I don’t think Daley understands the hilarious irony of his own words!
He just compared Obamacare to the Titanic!

The Captain of the Titanic had the grace and good sense to go down with his ship.

FWIW, to put things into perspective , you could build a replica of the Titanic in today's dollars for less than the 600 and some million dollars US Government on this unworkable web site- literally.

Some Aussie Billionaire is set on rebuilding an exact replica of Titanic to the original blue prints.

The cost - a “staggering” $400 million dollars.

Actually, Obama is Captain Smith, and he’s bringing the Titanic back around for another try at the iceberg.

I used to think that way, but not as much now. The 47% never do connect the correct dots, at least not in public.

I wish we would look at the problems with Obamacare like we did with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The Dreamliner had numerous problems before it was certified for flight.

We all remember when in January 16, 2013 the ANA flight from Ube to Tokyo Haneda was diverted after a burning smell was detected. Inspection revealed a battery fire! And then, a similar incident on a JAL 787s at Boston's Logan Airport! This created a huge crisis for Boeing's state-of-the-art airline. Instead of being called the Dreamliner, it was dubbed, the Nightmare-liner! All 50 in-service Boeing 787s were grounded. This was the culmination of a long series of problems that Boeing had to correct. Boeing took this battery problem seriously. They spent 100,000 hours making modifications to the battery design before sending a small army of technicians to 13 international locations, transporting 15 tons of tools per repair kit, and installing newly designed batteries in the field, taking five days per airplane working around the clock in two 12-hour shifts. This is the way the private sector responds to a serious problem. Not so with the arrogant Obama Syndicate.

Instead, the Democrats and the Obama Syndicate arrogantly said, “Smoke? What smoke?” They were not going to ground Obamacare. They were going to keep it going even though it was going down in flames. Obama was in the cockpit crying, “Keep this plane going, we are not going to divert!” He was willing to shut down the government to make his point. He was willing to ignore the alarm bells, the loss of power, the aircraft engineers and all the rules—yes, the Constitution! Obama and the Democrats were willing to ruin the lives of millions of their fellow Americans by flying their version of the Dreamliner.

Obamacare is no Dreamliner. It is a Nightmare-liner. It is a death ship that has taken flight just in time for Halloween. It could just as well be one of those broomstick with a witch or a flying monkey from the Wizard of Oz. Those who board that flight will have their lives ruined just like it will ruin America. Obamacare is a plane that won't fly.

I guess nobody told Daly that the reason the captain of the Titanic wasn’t fired was that he was dead. Is he suggesting that Sibelius commit Hari-Kari.

Speaking of the Titanic...

Daley could have had the Dem nomination for Governor for the asking. They're desperate to dump Quinn. And he'd probably have won the general election easily.

So why did Daley balk> Easy..Because Illinois IS the Titanic, and it's about to collapse. The unions will fight any reform, so he passed..

At least the Captain of the Titanic had the decency to go down with his ship. . .Seabiscuit is shoving people out of the life-boats to save her bony-butt.

You are dead on correct. Every time she puts on her ice woman act she comes across as an ignorant fool with no clue.

The words of C3 PO ring true......... it's beyond her capacity.

I see her future cast as playing Cruela de Vil in the Broadway production of 101 Dalmatians.

Take away her medical insurance and make her have to get on the site and disclose all of her personal information in return for massive premiums, and no doctor

So Bill Daley believes obamacare is going to sink and take down all hands. Good to know.

“No it won’t help, but it will make me feel a little better.”

Better to keep her there.

She is a proven incompetent fool and that’s exactly the type of people we need in charge of Obamacare.

We need this monstrosity to come crashing into the ground. And with this dumbocrat team in charge, that’s very likely to happen soon.

The history books say he shot himself as the ship went down. But today he would end up with a tenured position at a major university in California.
