President Barack Obama has gamely acknowledged that the HealthCare.gov disaster is “on me,” and surely this is one of the more accurate assertions he’s made related to his signature health care program.
But no president could have pulled off HealthCare.gov alone. After all, as he put it, “I don’t write code.” It truly takes a team effort to come up with something so impressively catastrophic.
Indeed, this serving of Pasta Fiasco was whipped up by a cadre of chefs, toiling together in spectacular incompetence, each doing their part to create one of the greatest flops in modern political history.
Each should be marched right out of the kitchen with alacrity. But Obama, who once said during another crisis — the 2010 Gulf oil spill — that he was searching for an “ass to kick,” hasn’t really found one this time.
And yet, with respect to the creation of HealthCare.gov, there’s really no shortage of asses. Herewith, as a service to our flummoxed commander in chief, 10 candidates for the chopping block.

The Donkey-crat party isn’t appreciably different from an organized crime family - unless they end up like Vince Foster or Ron Brown, they cover for each other no matter what the circumstances.
I don’t see Valerie Jarret’s name on that list, yet she’s the real Chief of Staff.
Obama should fire himself and Biden. Let teh new prez fire everyone else.
She's spending millions flying all over the country bragging about how great Obamacare is.

That was my first thought too.
1. “Himself”.
He should do more than fire whoever hired CGI to do the website, that individual should be looking at a jail sentence for corruption. A $600 million single-source contract because nobody else out there has ever written a website? I really don’t think so. And “friend of Michelle” isn’t a justification.
Trenkle’s already gone, isn’t he?
Though if he fires them they’ll go public and turn on him in a New York Minute.
First should be Zero resigning.
The 10 stooges. Can them all.
Good.
Start naming names.
Don’t let them get away with the anonymous “well the system didn’t work” excuses.
Right you are - headline from the “Washington Examiner”:
“Tony Trenkle: The lone casualty of the healthcare.gov fiasco”
Not exactly a big fish, though - if Sibelius’s head rolls, I’ll be impressed.
Not to praise myself, but I knew that. I’m sure lots of folks knew that, why didn’t the guy who got paid to write a piece at Politico know that? Or his editor?
Then we'll have President Boehner (although that's not a really thrilling prospect, either).
Yesterday she gave an interview with AP:
