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.

I lived in the UK. When I got lost in London I hailed down a taxi and was back at my office in about ten minutes. If by chance she did this in Oxford and ran 13 miles she is a F-—ing idiot as she would have crossed Oxford 2 or 3 times. Also if she really did run 13 miles she was sure as hell late for her meeting. This is 100% sure Bull S—t!

Also if this is true, I sure as hell would not hire anyone this stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!
