| Health Secretary Sebelius Resigns After Woes of HealthCare.gov |
| 2014-04-11 |
| [NY Times] Kathleen Sebelius, the health and human services secretary, is resigning, ending a stormy five-year tenure marred by the disastrous rollout of President B.O.'s signature legislative achievement, the Affordable Care Act. Mr. Obama accepted Ms. Sebelius's resignation this week, and on Friday morning he will nominate Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to replace her, officials said. The departure comes as the B.O. regime tries to move beyond its early stumbles in carrying out the law, persuade a still-skeptical public of its lasting benefits, and help Democratic incumbents, who face blistering attack ads after supporting the legislation, survive the midterm elections this fall. |

| #11 True story: Last night the news alert on my smart phone had two items. Major story: The escaped chimp from the KC Zoo was coaxed back into his compound. In other news: Kathleen Sebelius resigned today. |

| #7 This morning the Republicans have seized on her resignation saying it is not enough. They said Obamacare must be repealed, her resignation proves it is a failure. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, "Obamacare has to go, too." |

| #6 Let the emperor and his regime have their phony victory lap and new face. When Burwell goes after more budget to supplement the failed ACA scheme, Congress should step on her dick and hard ! |

| #5 If she faces a tough Congressional confirmation, Congress will be labeled misogynist and racist. I don't know about you, but I've been thinking - if the 'Pubs were smart (I know, Stupid Party & all that), that's exactly what I'd do, to keep pissing them off to draw this exact charge from the Donks over and over and over... I'd think at some point some fencesitters would then view the Donks as the professional crybabies they are. |

#3  Champ picks his budget director Sylvia Mathews Burwell as the Sebelius turtle. With a regime fiscal situation in total disarray and trillions of dollars in the red, what could possibly go wrong ?Burwell is a well groomed, bright young face which may appeal to ACA reluctant millennials. The Champ knows he'll need access to lots and lots of cash to support the ACA scheme and Burwell can help him find it. If she faces a tough Congressional confirmation, Congress will be labeled misogynist and racist. A polite golf clap would be appropriate for under-bussed, useful idiot Sebelius. She served the regime well. |

| #2 She didn't resign, she retired - she's 65. And besides, her task is complete, with success assured of ZeroCare now that it achieved its goal of 7 million signed up. And as 'Great Unknown' commented: "Given the quality of Obama's appointees, and the direction he is moving now, don't be too sure. I foresee billboards with pictures of her and the caption "Miss Me Yet?"" |
