Senator (Pat Roberts, R-Kan) calls for Sebelius’ resignation over ObamaCare website problems

A Republican senator called Friday for Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to resign over what he described as the bungled launch of the ObamaCare exchanges.

**SNIP**

"How long do we let this failed exchange continue to operate?” Roberts said in a written statement, calling the problems “systematic, profound and indisputable.”

He alleged that Sebelius “won’t shoot straight with the American people,” citing her interview earlier in the week on “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” in which she would not say how many people were actually able to enroll.

"In the absence of a full repeal of ObamaCare, which is my preference, we need new leadership from top to bottom. I am calling on the secretary to resign,” he said.

[Libloather]

She'll probably stay and Husseincare will still suck.

[goodnesswins]

YES....except she should resign because she’s an idiot commie

[SoConPubbie]

More symbolic gesturing by the GOP.

They refused to do the heavy lifting of stopping Obamacare because they are wusses, or worse, they are Collaborators, so now we are supposed to pat Senator Pat Roberts on the back for this “Hot-Air” action of his?

Ol’ Hatchetface.

[a fool in paradise]

Was there no load testing?
Was there no periodic benchmark review?
Is there no accountability at any level?

He alleged that Sebelius “won’t shoot straight with the American people,”

That's not grounds for getting fired, that's a job requirement in the Obama regime.

[Kanzan]

The only question is: what is Sebelius getting from this?

[ealgeone]

Was there anything that could have been done to stop it in light of the votes the dims had at the time?

Was there anything that could have been done to stop it in light of the votes the dims had at the time?

Yes, and Ted Cruz laid out the strategy multiple times for them.

1. If the Surrender Caucus (GOP in Senate) had held firm and voted no on cloture, they would have forced the senate to compromise. Lacking that,
2. The House of Reps should have sent up individual CRs on each function of government funding everything EXCEPT Obamacare.

Since a goodly part(including the GOP Leadership of both the House and Senate) of them are only mouthing their displeasure and opposition to Obamacare, they of course folded since they really don't want to stop Obamacare.

They are Collaborators, plain and simple.

All of they're actions are symbolic in nature and provide no real opposition or relief to either the taxpaying citizens of the US or conservatives.

[MUDDOG]

The usual career path, some high-paying public sector job like Janet Napolitano.

[what's up]

She also should be tried and found guilty for her on-high pronouncements which harm the entire nation.

One of the most evil being that all insurance companies must provide the morning-after pill.

[chris37]

That isn’t the reason this ruthless communist b!tch should be made to resign.

[RS_Rider]

How about an audit to find out where the half a billion dollars that wasn’t spent on web site development ended up going...as if we don’t already know.

[Gritty]

Was Roberts one of the Senators who supported Ted Cruz's effort to stop this insane madness? Oh, wait. I remember now. The answer is "no".

It doesn't seem like Pat The Righteous Dragon Slayer has much to complain about as he is now complicit in perpetuating the entire scam.

[Carriage Hill]

No³.

[AMDG&BVMH]

I have been thinking the same thing. There has to be something rather than just making sound bites out of the mess it is in: The Inspector General, and/or Congressional investigation, and/or an outside independent agency, and/or go to a Court and get an injunction on continuing to operate this farce!!

Someone with standing should go to Court and get an injunction. Enough of this national embarrassment!!

[Dutch Boy]

Obamacare was not about improving health care or health care costs. If it were, it would be 100% different than what it is.

[eyedigress]

Audit the FED. Ron Paul has that one spot on!

[Nifster]

Always interesting to watch the wobbly kneed cowards develop a spine when they are being primaried
