A top Obama administration official in charge of the disastrous rollout of HealthCare.gov has suddenly decided to retire, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced Monday.

Michelle Snyder, the chief operating officer at CMS is calling it quits just three months after she oversaw the failed ObamaCare launch Oct. 1.

Still, CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner, who announced Snyder’s departure in an e-mail to colleagues, heaped praise upon the 41-year agency veteran.

Tavenner called Snyder a “key member” of CMS’ leadership team and urged coworkers to “celebrate Michelle’s dedication to a mission that provides vital health care services to tens of millions of our fellow Americans through the Medicare and Medicaid programs.”

She stressed that Snyder had planned to retire in 2012 but stayed on to help with “the challenges facing CMS in 2013.”

Just too many people signing up and paying for healthcare plans. She couldn’t take the volume.

If I was in charge of the ObamaCare fiasco, I’d be embarrassed and “retire” too. Maybe hide out in the mountains up in Idaho or somewhere.

Smart move on the part of Ms. Snyder, getting out of town before it really hits the fan.

Well, she certainly wasn’t going to be fired. Nobody in this corrupt regime is EVER held responsible for ANYTHING.

They should all be dragged to Gitmo.

What would you do? I’d consider suicide. I don’t think I could stand all the stress, pain and agony people are suffering as a result of this foolishness.

Actually, truth be told, I’d prolly have retired when this monster was first proposed.

She knows too much. She must be silenced. Look for an “accident” in the next few days.
