Kathleen Sebelius, you are not doing a heck of a job

... Sebelius and I have been friendly, despite the fact that I did not support her for governor.

... what business would keep the executive employed who had three-and-a-half years and $500 million to smoothly implement the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, and then blow it?

Surely, the thought of her forced resignation must have crossed President Barack Obama’s mind.

Senate rules have now changed, and only 51 votes are needed.

That’s a big reason why I have waited to urge this politically sensitive action. Until now, it just didn’t seem realistic.

If anyone happens to care about polls, Rasmussen reports that 43 percent of likely U.S. voters hold an unfavorable impression of Sebelius. We should hasten to add, in all fairness, that in the same poll, it was revealed that a quarter of those surveyed had never even heard of Sebelius.

Polls aside, this fiasco created on the watch of Sebelius should be such an embarrassment to her that she should resign, whether Obama wants her to or not.

One can only speculate, but I think there is a lot of rationalization going on that blames others, instead of where the buck stops — with Sebelius. Clearly, she was not in charge of day-to-day operations when Obamacare’s online efforts cratered. But it ultimately was her responsibility.

That doesn’t mean more heads should not roll. Those who failed in their jobs of implementing a smooth transition should be asked to leave as well.

President Obama and the nation deserve a new slate of leaders to take over HHS, and, thus, the implementation of Obamacare, several parts of which have already been postponed a year.

To just let it go (“You’re doing a heck of a job, Kathleen”) is outrageous.

It was Obama's responsibility to know what she was doing and direct her actions.

Did he know what was going on in that department at all?

Did they meet or not?

Kitty has a lot of secrets. So did Vince Foster.

She will never be fired—she knows too much! A drone strike maybe, or some fancy “accident” but not fired where she could write a book.

“...She will never be fired—she knows too much!...”

Yep. And she knows where all the middle-class bodies will be buried.
This white-haired RAT is the Josef Mengele of our new communist party.

Steve Rose believes that Pat Roberts is being treacherous. I wonder if he has considered the treachery of Ms. Sebelius, a flaming liberal, to her middle of the road Republican father in law, Representative Sebelius. She used his name to help get elected as a carpetbagger governor, then got out of the state as fast as she could.

Here, she’s very much like Roberts who used Representative Sebelius to get a job in Washington in 1969 and has barely been back since. I wonder if he knows that Kathleen was our governor once?

I surprised to see that Rose did not support her candidacy for Governor. He must of had someone in mind who was even to the left of her.

Steve’s also a “flaming liberal,” just like Sebelius!

From signing to the Oct. 1st launch of Obamacare was about as long as World War II. Period.
