Lamar Alexander: 'Somebody ought to be fired' (you fund it, you bought it, Senator!)

Sen. Lamar Alexander said Wednesday that someone ought to be fired over the online glitches surrounding the Affordable Care Act, whether it’s President Barack Obama, or someone else.

“Somebody needs to be on the flagpole for this, and somebody ought to be fired. If the president’s not going to resign, he should fire somebody else,” Alexander said during Fox News’s “Happening Now.”

Alexander (R-Tenn.) added that “the president first” is to blame, but wouldn’t say whether Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius should be fired.

“Well, that’s up to be president. I think he should make that decision,” Alexander said.

The Tennessee senator also spoke about legislation that he plans to introduce next week that would require weekly reports on the status of Obamacare including information on how many have visited the website and were successful in enrolling.

“This is the internet age. Even before the internet age McDonald’s could tell you how many hamburgers it was selling every day,” Alexander said.

“I would think that since Democrats passed the law, they’d want people to know how it is working. And if it is working better, let’s let them know it’s working better. This isn’t, really,

Lamar Alexander should be fired next November, for standing with McConnell and the democrats and not doing everything possible to be rid of Obamacare. But no. And now he's complaining.

Another Collaborator heard from that can offer nothing more than symbolic gestures and words in place of actually fighting against Obamacare.

The GAO should be tasked to examine ALL COSTS associated with planning, developing and implementing the Obamacare system. Not just at HHS but at ALL agencies since it is really a system of systems (i.e., it interfaces and shares data with other federal and state agencies).

Alexander can easily task the GAO to do this. Such an audit would reveal the true cost of Obamacare (does anyone believe that we are being told what the real cost is?). In all likelihood, its well beyond $600 million. Probably closer to $1 billion.

There’s a subtlety in the Spanish language that is best described in English as a tense that means “somebody should do something”. It is a way to avoid work by either the speaker or the listener. It indicates either sloth or cowardice, or perhaps only action if the mob agrees that it is a time for action.

Which of these would best describe Sen. Lamar Alexander?

Alexander voted for ObamaCare when he refused to support Ted Cruz.

Karl Rove, Grover NorTerrorist, and the US Chamber of Commerce don’t have enough money to save these ObamaCare supporters

We await your AWESOME leadership on this, Lamar. Step on up and show us how it's done!
