He leaving means the numbers are way short of the claimed 7 million.

Jay Carney will soon be saying how they don't understand what happened and how sad it is they cannot get answers from the former HHS.

The whole 0bama macACA was supported to clear the 30 million uninsured, while the rest of us were maintained.

TOTAL FAILURE.

In what sense is this heap of rubbish “on track”?

Dear friends, the health care law is finally on track. We can turn vinegar into wine! This is of more import than even the Miracle In Cana.

I watched pelosi on CSPAN stammering stuttering and speculating that the number was closer to 10 million

I’ll tell you just what it means:

It give Obama a scapegoat without having to even blame her for anything. And it give them an opportunity to re-launch Obamacare, the website, and anything else they want to under the auspices of the new secretary, with full fanfare and cheering from the media. It gives the democrats who are in trouble in their primaries and in tne midterm a scapegoat to point to and say, she was the problem, and she’s gone but now you’ve got to send me back to Washington to keep doing the good work of the people, etc ad nauseum.

It gives Obama one giant mulligan.

Sebelius is making the break so she can set herself up for a “presidential pardon” before Barry moves to his mansion on the beach in Hawaii. She’s going to have to fight Lerner and Holder for one though.

It's a pretty obvious ploy. The trouble is, I don't think any number of resignations can get them clear of this ongoing disaster.

Yep. And that’s all it means. Well, that and the fact that Sebilius will get some cush job that pays 5 mill a year consulting or running the industry she used to regulate. Sebilius is crying all the way to the bank right now.

Have you noticed how Pelosi always shakes her head in the affirmative whenever she’s telling a lie?

No, in the private sector (makers) sudden resignation of a project’s figurehead (Sebelius) means the project has gone tits up.

Public-sector takers have a totally different set of optics about failure, since they don’t lose their jobs over catastrophic product launch failure.

We should be seeing more of these stories since the Democrats’ news organs have been given their instructions by the WH:
‘Sibelius is now a non-person. Let a thousand flowers bloom.’

It’s good to have writers from “The Atlantic” there to give us the straight scoop on political matters. Aren’t they great?

When referring to her statements I will no long use the full title “Mind Numbingly Stupid” do to the fact that used so many time I will now only use M.N.S. to save countless hours.

I’m beginning to think she gets so excited about walking and breathing at the same time she just rambles on not even making sense to herself.

Typical liberal article, the author couldn’t make it past the first sentence before dropping the first lie.
