Why Obama Won't Fire Sebelius
National Journal ^ | not October 30, 2013, but October 29, 2013 | Mathew Cooper

Posted on 10/30/2013 1:05:03 PM PDT by Biggirl

With the disastrous HealthCare.gov rollout, you would think that if President Obama had not fired Kathleen Sebelius by now, he would have at least seriously considered it. And you'd think she might have readied a resignation letter or even offered to quit. But those close to the White House and Sebelius say there has been no such come-to-Jesus moment between the two and they don't see one happening anytime soon. In short, Sebelius is staying.

Republicans are being handed their best and most public opportunity in years to lay out the ideas of liberty our Constitution protects from coercive government power versus a President and Cabinet who openly declare that they are imposing "settled law" that robs Americans of the right to choose health providers and insurance carriers because "he won the election."

And these Republicans frittered away that opportunity letting Sebelius focus them on a "web site" and empty promises to "fix it."

She won’t be fired because she had nothing to do with ObamaCare. it’s the second and third tier people and anonymous Tzars that did all the work, plus contractor pals of the regime.

So it’s easy for her to go out as a lightning rod and accept all responsibility as a purely political move.

Did Congress’ health plan include maternity care and pediatric dental care before March, 2010? If not, why aren’t they subject to the ‘comprehensive benifits’ the rest of us have to have? And why can’t they be required to live under Obamacare if their plans have had to make changes?? Sleazy pigs!

I'm not so sure this isn't to our advantage.

The woman is obviously woefully incompetent.

It may be a good thing for her to stay on so Obamacare failures can be made again and again and again...

Exactly. She knows everything about this crooked deal and the corruption reaching the highest levels of WH and the democratic congressional leadership. For the same reasons he can’t fire Holder. They have too much on him and lots of others.

Yup, it’s all about appearances. Women and blacks put him in there.

It's one thing for her to accept the blame but not for flat out lying and being down right disingenuous.

Sebelius is from Ohio. Her father was the Democrat Governor. She married the son of a longtime Kansas Republican Congressman. She passes herself off as a Republican whenever it’s convenient.

Her political strength and money comes from the abortion industry. They have bankrolled her and own her. She has consistently spit in the face of Kansas voters to cater to her abortion industry friends. She has transferred her loyalty and here willingness to do whatever asked to President Obama who views such loyalty as the only trait worthy of his attention.

May I enjoy a moment of levity? Jarrett says Obama will not fire Sebelious(sp) because he is not interested in Scape Goats. This being the nanny state, I guess that makes her and Val both nanny goats.

OK, OK, get the hook.

Two reasons, none of which are in the article.

1. Obama doesn't want two confirmation fights going on, HHS and DHS.

2. Obama is running out of cronies to put into offices. He can't bring in any outsiders whom he can't trust to keep his secrets.

He won’t fire her because it would ultimately make him responsible for something. He still has a scape goat in that long nosed wench.

Because the Prime Objective was to introduce the Destruction of Private Health Insurance, as a trojan horse for the forced implementation of Single Payer Socialism.

He won’t fire her because that would be admitting that there was a mistake made, and “Mr Perfect” doesn’t have the moral courage to face any kind of self-examination. He’s as nutty as a Snickers bar.
