ObamaCare: The Liar-in-Chief Throws Kathleen Sebelius to the Wolves

Posted on | October 30, 2013 | 32 Comments

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius today displayed the classic combination of dishonesty and entitled arrogance we have come to expect from the monstrously selfish people who insist that we call them “public servants,” although Sebelius could scarcely conceal her contempt for the public she claims to serve.

Not a single Republican voted for ObamaCare, and the responsibility for its massive failure therefore lies entirely with Democrats. Therefore, the task assigned to Sebelius (and to Democrats on the committee) was to convey the impression that the failure is not actually failure, that contrary to all evidence, ObamaCare is successful, and that it is only the mean-spiritedness of Republicans that is the problem.

Even as Sebelius was compelled to embarrass herself in defense of President Obama’s indefensible failure, however, the president is busy trying to make her his designated scapegoat:

An agitated President Obama has expressed frustration to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius about the faulty ObamaCare enrollment website.
A visibly annoyed Obama behind closed doors has made clear to Sebelius that it’s her responsibility to fix what has become an unwanted second-term blunder, according to senior administration officials.
White House officials say the strong words from Obama don’t mean Sebelius is necessarily in the doghouse but that she’s responsible for fixing the problem.
In the words of one senior administration official, “She’s in a tough spot. She’s on the hook.”

These petulant children deserve each other.

    Of course, the goal was never about providing health care to people. The goal was to destroy American health care in order to siphon up a substantial portion of the two trillion dollars currently spent on health services to redistribute to cronies. That was obvious the moment we were told that coverage would be “better,” millions of uninsured would be brought into the system and all at a savings of $2500 per family. Obvious lies from the get-go which only the very stupid believed.

    Overheard from Zer0 addressing the Sec of HHS:
    “Kathleen, while we’re passing over you, would you check the muffler clamps? It sounds like one may be loose.”

    She is really not thrown to the wolves, she still has her job and O’s support.

    Maybe she has him by the “short hairs” because she knows “where the bones are buried”. The kind of bones that if dug up could make Obama out to be a real fool.

    Well, seeing Jug Ears throw one of his flying monkeys to the wolves, instead of under the bus, is certainly a novelty.

    But I expect that will happen soon enough. She will “make a valiant effort”, fail, and then “resign” as a sign of her contrition. With full benefits, of course.

    Whatever.

    If Sebellius has not been fired, she has not been thrown to the wolves. This is theater to prove to the rubes that there is a Republican War On Women.
    The only way to be held accountable in the Obama regime is to be a whistleblower.

    Short version: guy goes to Obamacare site, is told he’s not eligible for Medicare, finishes, goes back in, finds out he’s been signed up for Medicare.

    Too bad the GOP isn’t capitalizing on all the free anti-Obamacare press. “If Obama lied about keeping one’s insurance plan, was he also lying about Death Panels and safe abortions?”
