More like the captain of the Bismarck.
No sane person would take this on, no matter what is promised to them.
This woman is known primarily for her ability to spin numbers and cook the books. The very qualities Obama is looking for in the head of the HHS.
This woman shut down the WW Memorial! She is everything Obama needs in a HHS secretary. Someone who is absolutely evil enough to make patriots life a living hell.
Sacrificial lamb. Koolaid drinker.
This tale fails to conform to the facts, however. First, Sebelius’s mismanagement of the health law’s implementation went far beyond her Healthcare.gov debacle. In addition to that blunder, for example, she has undergone serious scrutiny pursuant to her legally dubious solicitation of cash from corporations to fund the implementation of Obamacare.
The establishment media have made much of Burwell’s long career in government, pointing out that it goes back to the 1990s when she served under President Clinton in various capacities, including Deputy Chief of Staff. None of these reports, however, mentions the most bizarre feature of her tenure in that administration. On the night that White House Counsel Vince Foster committed suicide during one of the myriad scandals that defined the Clinton presidency, Burwell (then Sylvia Mathews) rummaged through the dead man’s garbage, presumably to make sure that it contained no documents implicating the President or Mrs. Clinton, one of Foster’s law partners.
NBC News, in a story that somehow slipped past the editors, reports the following: “A single person shut down the entire U.S. government.… Not a congressman, but an unelected woman named Sylvia Burwell who … sent the email that initiated the process that has closed national parks.” This eventually led to the refusal by park rangers to allow WWII veterans into their own memorial, a travesty that clearly demonstrated how the White House was deliberately inflicting as much pain as possible on the public in order to gain political points.
The GOP Senate should force a very public review of this woman's record, and force the democRAT senators up for 2014 re-election in conservative states (AK, AR, LA, MT, NC, SD, WV ...) to go on record as supporting this government bureaucrat "who will do ANYTHING the boss asks" including "inflicting pain on the public".
She has some questions to answer before she can be Captain.
It is interesting that Obama would pick so many people who had original loyalties to the Rodham.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Burwell received the two envelopes from Sibelius. One, to be opened in three months,contains instructions to blame the GOP for all continuing problems. The second is to be opened three months ater that, and instructs her to prepare two envelopes...
