Health Secretary Resigns After Woes of HealthCare.gov
New York Times ^ | April 10, 2014 | MICHAEL D. SHEAR

WASHINGTON — Kathleen Sebelius, the health and human services secretary, is resigning, ending a stormy five-year tenure marred by the disastrous rollout of President Obama’s signature legislative achievement, the Affordable Care Act.

Officials said Ms. Sebelius, 65, made the decision to resign and was not forced out. But the frustration at the White House over her performance had become increasingly clear, as administration aides worried that the crippling problems at HealthCare.gov, the website set up to enroll Americans in insurance exchanges, would result in lasting damage to the president’s legacy.

Even last week, as Mr. Obama triumphantly announced that enrollments in the exchanges had exceeded seven million, she did not appear next to him for the news conference in the Rose Garden.

So much for the GOP war on women. It looks like the Dems threw Sibelius and Lois Lerner under the bus instead of circling the wagons around them.

The Buck stops with the tiremarks on Sebelius' back!

In any business, she’d have been fired within a week of the Health Care rollout last fall. The problem there is, her boss and his staff would also have been gone. Ain’t politics grand (not that there isn’t way too much of it in big business).

Perhaps someone might inform Mister Obama, that if you LIKE your HHS secretary, YOU can KEEP your HHS secretary.

I bet one of the first things she will do is try to slime her way back into the good graces of the Catholic church.

While remaining absolutely unrepentant, and still lauding her mortal sins.

While Sebelius is not the only person responsible for the widespread and severe damage inflicted by ObamaCare, she went out of her way to make it even worse. I hope she knows that millions of people curse her name daily and that many of them will continue to curse her long after she is dead.

I will pray for her to find God and to sincerely repent the evil she has done, but I will never forget what she has done to my country and to my children.

Well bless her heart; she tried so hard to make the unworkable work. I almost feel sorry for her.

Almost.

Ten years in Club Fed would be a nice reward for her.

This wasn’t SebeliusCare. It was Obamacare.

The Kenyan should resign.

Obama threw her under the bus. If Obamacare was the glorious socialist success the Administration claim it is, she would never have been forced out.

So they lied about the numbers. And she is the first casualty.

The only people Obama will actually fire are military.
