WASHINGTON — In her darkest hour last fall, Kathleen Sebelius suffered one of the deepest cuts from an old family friend who accused her of “gross incompetence” over the rollout of the Affordable Care Act and demanded that she resign as secretary of health and human services. Now she is weighing revenge.

Asked why Kansas was picked to be the late term abortion capital of the country,
‘rats replied “it’s cheaper to buy Kansas”.
I'm, not a shrink and I don't play one on TV, but I think several factors are involved: 1) they're addicted to the perks of office and power to boss people about with the club of government retribution always at hand; 2) these people are extremely arrogant; 3) they see themselves as an elite group that should rule over the dumb masses pf peasants.
I think those are the primary ones, but there are others. Incompetent, evil people are flawed human beings that have a real dislike for the average citizen. These people deserve to be put down like the rabid vermin they are.
Can Kansas handle being represented by a person with this much “intelligence”?
Dorian Gray got a magic portrait. Kathleen Sibelius obviously did not.
Laughable, wishful thinking on the part of Dims.
Kansas Labor Secretary Karin Brownlee told the Daily Caller about this: "In the Kansas Senate, I chaired the Commerce committee. We had oversight over the Department of Labor. For years, we watched as the Department of Labor under Sebelius worked on that computer program. After seven years and $50 million, something should work." When you're spending taxpayer money, apparently successful outcomes is not a requirement.
“In fact, what is more likely is that she’ll spend about as much time in Kansas as the Clintons do in Arkansas.”
She’ll spend even less. At least Bubba is actually from Arkansas. Kathleen’s stay in Kansas has been purely for political purposes.
Her daddy was governor of Ohio....and she moved to Kansas when she was 26. By age 29, she was a lobbyist for the trial lawyers...and then she started running and getting elected to various offices.
Her first chance to leave the state - she jumped at the opportunity.
She isn’t from Kansas, and she isn’t here now. And she has done nothing but take from the state.
I doubt I’ll see her around often.
The term “gross incompetence” could be applied universally to those in the Obama administration.
When Sebelius left Kansas the Democrats held the governors office, the lieutenant governor, the Attorney General, the Treasurer, and two congressional seats. Today they don’t hold a single statewide office or seat in Congress. It isn’t the same as when she left. If she comes back and runs she’ll get creamed by Roberts.
Yep. I volunteered in the VA attorney general recount a few months ago. It was the first time I'd ever really seen the nitty gritty of how the ballot system works. I live in a significantly Republican controlled county and we, of course, wanted Obenshain to pick up votes; however, it was very meticulously handled and Obenshain had a net loss of votes in our county as a result of the recount. My main takeaway from the day was how easy it would be for corrupt election officials and clerks to manipulate the results. Republicans, however, tend to be law abiding. Democrats not so much.
By and large the lot of them are only “competent” in two things: self aggrandizement and corruption.
Because they have no shame - a requirement for a career in politics.
It is less about the salary (money) and more about the power they can wield.
Why else would anyone spend $millions to get elected to a position that pays $174,000 per year?
Of course, the perks and under-the-table/off-shore stuff are nice add-ons.
good answer
A government.
Recycled incompetence ad nauseam.
Here’s hoping that she spends 100% of her time in Kansas. Leavenworth would see to that.
Because the only possible way for them to make money is leeching off the American taxpayer.
Kansas is a red state with the exception of Johnson and Douglas counties which are very Blue, and, unfortunately, two of the counties with some of the highest population density in the state.
