Kathleen Sebelius is in the hot seat amid rising angst over the administration’s implementation of ObamaCare.
The Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary is implementing the biggest change to the nation’s healthcare system in decades, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
ObamaCare will be a top issue for voters, if not the top issue, in the 2014 election. President Obama is aiming to help Democrats retain the Senate and win back the House for his last two years in office.

"There have been many conversations among progressives about this. We want a personality that acts to confront any glitches immediately — more of a nose-to-the-grindstone manager.
"If there is any more defensiveness as we're implementing, it will be a huge issue in 2014."

2014 is going to be nightmare for every democrat who voted for Obamacare....
Just run the video of Zero claiming your premiums will not go up or lose your coverage and remind the voter that this asshat democrat voted for it....
It's surprising, really, that Obama named her run the Dept of H&HS and Obamacare.
Ideally, he could've created a special post for her -- Abortion Czar.
The woman lives for abortion. She won't be satisfied until every last baby in the US is aborted. Bloodthirsty bitch!
Wow, wow, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is SO true!
Not to be outdone by your exclamation points, SW. ;o)
