Sebelius Tries To Blame GOP For Coming ObamaCare Failures
ibd ^ | 4/11/2013 | staff

As Democrats grow increasingly worried that ObamaCare will explode on the launch pad just as midterm elections get going, the Obama administration seeks to pin blame on Republicans. Good luck with that.

Earlier this week, Health and Human Services head Kathleen Sebelius admitted that she didn't realize how complicated getting ObamaCare off the ground would be.

Sebelius complained that "no one fully anticipated" the difficulties involved in implementing ObamaCare, or how confusing it would be with the public.

She wasn't talking about the massive and impossible task of imposing central planning on one-sixth of the nation's economy.

Instead, she was trying to find a way to blame Republicans for ObamaCare's failures when the inevitable problems start emerging.

Rather than say "let's get on board, let's make this work," recalcitrant Republicans have forced her to engage in "state-by-state political battles," Sebelius said at a Harvard School of Public Health forum. "The politics has been relentless."

So let's see if we get this. Democrats shoved an unpopular, expensive, ill-conceived and poorly written law down the country's throat with no Republican support, and without bothering to see whether states would want to take on the thankless and costly task of helping the feds implement it.

Sebelius can’t blame herself, because when she looks in the mirror, there is no reflection.

Not reading it before passing it might have given her a clue.

The American left made a strategic error......they should’ve started with the 2nd Amendment, they read the back chapters of Marx and Mein Kampf but didnt read chapter one.

Her only interest as the head of gubbermint “health care” is killing babies. So she probably wasn’t focused on any of the other aspects of Obamacare. Just so it killed as many babies as possible, that was all she cared about.

I know it’s unbelievable, but I’d bet money that they find a way to sell it to the low-info majority that the Republicans (who opposed passing this monstrosity ) are to blame. The Republicans need to come back with camera footage of a beaming Obama and Pelosi after they passed it, after all of their midnight deals and bribes and exemptions. But they won’t, because they’re the Stupid Party.

It looks like she might have blown out a bulb reading the DemocRATS’ ObamaCare bill after Pelosi got it passed.

Sebelius has a very limited attention span ~ first, about the babies, this woman has a track record that tells everyone that she feels deprived if a single one escapes death!

She has absolutely nothing else in her career that is worth jotting down.

You know what, that actually explains it. How many of the demonrats would’ve been capable of even reading this, much less understanding it?

of course she is- that’s their whole plan- if/when it faisl miserably, they wioll get to blame it on the right- if by some fluke it doesn’t fail- they will blame the right for not havign supported it- The left blames blames blames- they are liek the global warming nutcases who no matter which way the cliamte changes- come out hte ‘winners’- they can NEVER be wrong- they are covered no matter how things turn out

*******
Liberals never think through the consequences of anything. Wait until their simplistic and utopian view of healthcare runs up against the reality of the massive complexity of the underlying information systems and multi-agency interfaces necessary to support Obamacare. The government has had numerous spectacular failures just attempting to implement smaller and simpler systems that this. This is going to be the mother of all failures.

(apologies to Rodney Dangerfield). Sebelius told her doctor “Hey doc, everyday when I wake up and look in the mirror and I get sick. What’s the matter with me?’’ Her doctor said ‘’I don’t know but your eyesight is prefect’’.
