ABC News ^ | April 11, 2014 | by Alina Kleineidam

The president nominated Sylvia Burwell, the current director of the Office of Management and Budget, to succeed Sebelius. Burwell has long career in government, but she’s actually much more interesting than your typical bureaucrat.

Here’s nine things you might not know about the woman who is likely to be the next HHS Secretary:

She’s really smart.

Obama is not the first president she’s worked for.

She accidentally ran a half marathon.

She was forced to get involved in last year’s government shutdown.

She knows how to handle money — and crises.

Her fifth date was a bit unusual.

She engages in charity work.

Her neighbor inspires her.

Even Republicans have praised her.

Not only the shutdown, but also allowed the illegal immigration rally.

How well does she know Bill Clinton?

One thing I know about Sylvia Burwell: She has been Obama’s Director of OMB.

Four things I know about Obama’s budget’s:
None have been balanced, but rely on massive deficit spending and borrowing.
None are based on realistic economic assumptions, and thus are even worse than they appear.
None have received any support from either party.
All have been considered DOA in the Congress and Senate.

“All you need to know about her is that she is a blue-dress-wearing Clinton c@cks@cker from way back.”

You are spot on. She was the one who also went through Vince Foster’s trash after he died. All in Hillary’s behalf of course.

Let’s hope that enough Senators vote “neigh” to confirming her appointment.

She is a slick liar and spinner in service to JugEars and the greater Democratic cause.

She is not stupid like Hillary and she comes across well on TV. She does not look like a witch-—Kathleen Sebelius does

Score one for the Democrats here (unfortunately)
Expect lots of breezy lies and spin from her on Obama-Kare. She looks good so will get way with them

Wow. The dreaded C-word (not “Clinton”) is too good for this scumbag.

Just amazing how these vermin keep showing up in Dear Leader’s employ.

“The West Virginia native graduated from Harvard University cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in government, and then received a second bachelor’s degree in philosophy, politics, and economics from Oxford University, where she was a Rhodes Scholar. She began her political career while still in college, interning for West Virginia Congressman Nick Rahall.”

Is it just me or do I see a resume just bursting with hands on healthcare experience? BTW, if she is “so smart” why the hell does she want the job? What future promises are coming her way?
