Cruz: Fire Sebelius Over ObamaCare

Newser ^ | 10/21/13 | Polly Davis Doig

McCain thinks it's been a 'fiasco,' Pelosi sees room for improvement. Ted Cruz is less than impressed with ObamaCare's bumpy rollout, and would like Kathleen Sebelius' head to roll as a result, Politico reports. "Absolutely, she should resign. Why? Because the program she has implemented, ObamaCare, is a disaster. It’s not working, it’s hurting people all across the country." He acknowledged that some "Republican grey beards in Washington" want to let ObamaCare "collapse" and "hope we benefit politically," but laced that line of thinking as a "terrible, cynical approach." John McCain joined in, calling for congressional hearings to "find out who's responsible for this fiasco," but stopped short of calling for Sebelius' resignation. His solution? "Send Air Force One out to Silicon Valley, load it up with some smart people, bring them back to Washington and fix this problem." Elsewhere on your Sunday dial:

Sen Cruz is right. Just hoping that this zero-care fiasco crumbles under it's own weight isn't enough. And Sen McLame, if only he is as gung-ho over getting to the bottom of Fast and Furious and Benghazi.

[Gaffer]

I agree. Even more so. She should be imprisoned.

[Sacajaweau]

Absolutely. Obama might have to...but as usual...he’ll just move her around and add a little bonus.

[Gaffer]

I must be dreaming....I just heard what is purported to be Obama’s live comments on the radio regarding the Obamacare Website. I cannot believe it. It was so embarrassingly terrible and sophomoric that is difficult his handlers let him get out there on air and make such a bumbling incompetent fool of himself. It was patently pathetic. Who in the hell in his administration actually prepared the brat for this? Damn....I just don't believe it.

Cruz got it wrong. If computer software does not work in a company, you fire the computer director not the company president.

[Impala64ssa]

I caught the end of it. A pathetic plea to, as the old song goes Give me just a little more time

[MissMagnolia]

Let Sebelius ride the rocket into the ground. She’s the non-appealing Cruella face of Obamacare and isn’t helping the situation any. Her appearance on Jon Stewart was a joke. After Obamacare implodes (hopefully), then go after her for massive incompetence or whatever.

[Gaffer]

As much as I detest him, I thought his performance was just pitiful. It made me ashamed so many in this country call him President.

[kidd]

Cruz is being kind.

She has had 3 years to develop this rollout. And several hundred million dollars.

No beta test. No data security. No privacy controls.

She should go to prison.

Cruz got it wrong. If computer software does not work in a company, you fire the computer director not the company president.

Nope, you got it wrong.

When you're only product is a total screw-up, you, as the president, should resign.

[Temujinshordes]

I think we have it all wrong. If she screwed up the Obamacare rollout, we should throw flowers in her path and buy her lunch.

[SoConPubbie]

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

[Political Junkie Too]

Nobody is accountable in Obamica.

Accountability is for Republicans.

Sebellius is too dumb to be cruella de ville

[demshateGod]

But please keep her out of Kansas.

[beelzepug]

I really would like to literally see her head roll, the witch! Can I have the honor of driving the ox cart?

I wonder if someone could photoshop her red suit into an SS uniform?

[Chode]

too dumb, but cruel enough for two...

[Chode]

it's days like these i wish i still had access to photoshop...
