HHS secretary Kathleen Sebelius will now get to enjoy one of the benefits of Obamacare touted by Democrats: She'll have a lot more time to make dinner.
That's because like a lot of other Obamacare victims, she has now lost her job.
Thank goodness her insurance is portable.
In losing her job as the head of Health and Human Services, she can take satisfaction that she now gets to see Obamacare in the same way the rest of us do, as a job destroyer.
If anybody in the media sees the irony in the fact that Sebelius lost her job because of the disastrous implementation of a disastrous law that have cost so many others their jobs, they're not acting like it.
“Kathleen Sebelius,” writes the New York Times, “the health and human services secretary, is resigning, ending a stormy five-year tenure marred by the disastrous rollout of President Obama’s signature legislative achievement, the Affordable Care Act.”
Hooray for the president!
Boo for traitors who can't implement our traitorous laws!
At the beginning of the month—yes, the month of April-- we were all treated to a round of triumphant celebration by the leftist wing of the left-wing party as Obamacare was declared to be not just a success, but a stunning triumph of the will over Republican obstructionism, lies-- thank you Harry Reid-- misogyny and misanthropy.
Four and a Half Years (of Struggle) Against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice, is what they will someday name the book if a Democrat writes one about the implementation of Obamacare.
Google it; you’ll see.
And again, they’ll miss the irony.
That liberals decided of their own accord that they would crown April Fools' Day--forever after-- as Obamacare Day, is again another irony that seems to be lost on people who believe that a variety selection of chilled cheeses is much more important than having a variety selection of competent doctors.
I mean let's face it: There really aren't any good wines that go with doctor anyway.
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
“Interviews with two dozen contractors, current and former government officials, insurance executives and consumer advocates, as well as an examination of confidential administration documents, point to a series of missteps — financial, technical and managerial — that led to the troubles” with the rollout of Obamacare conceded the New York Times in October.
Liberals will try to paint this as the failure of one person.
And they will be right. And they will be wrong.
Right premise; wrong person.
“Secretary of HHS will soon become known as the worst job in America,” says my friend, political consultant Tony Marsh. “It doesn't matter how competent the director, no one can make this goofy law work.”
Pin the goofy law on our goofy president.
Whatever else people might say about Barack Obama, even liberals have to admit that when it comes to managerial prowess--even when having the benefit of his pen and telephone-- the only executive action the president seems to get right is his tee time.
Don't let the awesome size of the Obamacare debacle shrink the significance of the other debacles Obama has presided over: $1 trillion stimulus, failed; a Department of Energy loan program for green companies, failed too, just to name two in a growing database of Obama disasters.
Who could've predicted at a time when unprecedented money and resources would go into alternative energy production via fiat by the federal government, that the "green" industry would see an unprecedented number of bankruptcies, failures and collapses?
Conservatives could have, and did.
Because the question goes to the fundamental flaw that Democrats have when it comes to governance. If it were all about money and power and influence, Democrats would never have a problem; nor would communists.
But eventually human nature takes over; and human nature is the enemy of control freaks, a.k.a. progressives.
Human nature can't control the progressive agenda, no matter how many jobs are lost. Democrats and the president mean to implement Obamacare even if they have to fire us all one by one.
In the old days, in order for healthcare to happen, you only needed to have a sick person.
Under the Democrats, you only need to have one very, very sick person right at the top, so he can do the firing of the rest of us.
I’ll be watching for her to be joining the Boards of Directors for WellStar, BigPharma, HoverRound, etc.
Count on it.
Bingi!
Actually, “unemployed” is how the Obama administration thinks it can protect its criminal employees. I bet there’s more going on here than we know.
Lois Lerner and a host of others have “retired” or “resigned” when the heat has been turned up on some particular government criminal activity. Obama tries to pin the blame on some apparatchik or even head honcho and then thinks getting rid of that person is going to protect him and obscure the connections. So far, I guess he’s been correct in that assumption.
My remark resembled your remark...
No doubt.
I’ll venture that her pension is much larger than the incomes of most of the members of this board.
My guess is she will not suffer to greatly by stepping down. Remember there are those hidden government perks that they alone enjoy.
Who was Lois Lerner working for when all this crap was formulated? Little Timmy Geithner was in charge of the Treasury Department at the time ...
This shriveled up old hag will get a high paying, low effort job in a few weeks, compliments of the democrat party, to reward her.
It will not be reported in the news.
I see a big fat pension check with all the benies in her future and probably under the table “party work”.
Unemployed? She probably has state and federal pensions that equal more than I ever made.
“What we see is that people are leaving their jobs because they are no longer job-locked,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters after House votes Tuesday afternoon. “They are following their aspirations to be a writer; to be self-employed; to start a business. This is the entrepreneurial piece. So it’s not going to cost jobs. It’s going to shift how people make a living and reach their aspirations.” 
Pelosi said she hadn’t “fully” seen the report, but, “this was one of the goals. To give people life, a healthy life, liberty to pursue their happiness. And that liberty is to not be job-locked, but to follow their passion.”
Personally, I’ve wondered if there isn’t some connection there. Remember that the IRS is the agency that enforces Obamacare, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re afraid more scrutiny on the IRS will turn up connections with HHS.
I liken that job to the position of Igor in Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory.
As Nancy Pelosi said, she is free to pursue her dreams...
Will she have to get her own Obamacare insurance now? LOL!
No matter where Sibelius goes, they should immediately be hit with a boycott of whatever it is they do.
If some university hires her, it should be made clear to them that they will lose alumni dollars, students will be encouraged to not go to that school, and graduates from that school will be shunned in the job market.
And any company that hires her should face every kind of boycott there is.
She embarrassed Der Fuhrer. She’s lucky she got out alive.
A real conservative Republican, if he got in power with a House and Senate that is Republican, too, would charge the the FBI and the DOJ to investigate and indict, try and convict these criminals - EVERYONE OF THEM.
