Administration Official: "Sebelius Misspoke" |
2009-08-18 |
![]() A second official, Linda Douglass, director of health reform communications for the administration, said that President Obama believed that a public option was the best way to reduce costs and promote competition among insurance companies, that he had not backed away from that belief, and that he still wanted to see a public option in the final bill. "Nothing has changed," she said. "The President has always said that what is essential that health insurance reform lower costs, ensure that there are affordable options for all Americans and increase choice and competition in the health insurance market. He believes that the public option is the best way to achieve these goals." A third White House official, via e-mail, said that Sebelius didn't misspeak. "The media misplayed it," the third official said. |

#7 ...not to mention fighting the super-clean coal plants, shutting down schools (at one point wondering if students were going to be bussed 60 miles outside and into Dodge City) when millions could be found to renovate KU bathrooms, could make a 2 day event out of 20 basketball players winning NCAA but twice missed welcoming home KANG soldiers you know the ones she claimed would have helped the Greensburg tornado victims, taking 2 days to respond to the Greensburg night tornados, the farce Green Greensburg, campaigning for Obama during a budget crises then trying to ram an illegal money transfer through, not defending Wichita vs. the EPA fine threat, ignoring west Kansas farmer rancher and infastructure issues, not defending Kansans from the typical racists comment, da da da... I wonder if she even knew she was going to be used as a target with this statement. What she could be is loose barbed wire for that bus to run over. Ever seen an axle wrapped with barbed wire? |

#2 I figured she would be perfect for the job as HHS as all she did was keep the governor's chair warm here in Kansas. |
