I didn't want to hi-jack Carl's ObamaCare thread with this side note topic. 1.Is the roll out a symptom of govt incompetence or lack of leadership at HHS or by our President, himself? 2. Should Sebelius be fired, resign, or as Pat notes below and in the link remain as a testimony of govt inefficiencies / incompetence? 3. With many Dems now stating that ACA should be delayed (individual mandate) due to this mess, is there some vindication for Ted Cruz or other repubs calling for a delay before the gov't shut down? Pat Buchanan adds this opinion. http://www.wnd.com/2013/10/the-queen-of-obamaland/ A couple of quotes : Republicans are clamoring for Sebelius’s firing. Herewith, a dissent. Why not leave her right where she is? After all, Sebelius’s continuance testifies more eloquently than any attack ad just how far Obama’s beliefs about government and political philosophy are beyond the Middle American mainstream. In most great U.S. corporations, if an executive had three years to roll out the product on which the company’s future might depend, and delivered this debacle, he would be gone. Panic would ensue. Emergency meetings of the board would be held to determine if more heads should roll and who should be brought in to save the company. Outside of government, people routinely pay for their mistakes. Inside, there is often no penalty, no price, no punishment for failure. To Obama, a mess that has members of his own party calling for suspending Obamacare for a year is just the result of “glitches.” Still good enough for government work. Sebelius remains at her post despite manifest incompetence for reasons both ideological and political. She is a pro-choice Catholic, a feminist, an early Obamaite, a crony of the president, an apparatchik of the Party of Government. She is a queen in Obamaland. Like many of his generation, Obama himself is a skilled verbalist. He talks and reads teleprompter well. As for executive, managerial and operational skills, however, upon what ground would he stand to dismiss Sebelius? He was himself clueless as to the extent and severity of the problems in his signature legislation. Two weeks after the Benghazi massacre, he was still parroting the Susan Rice line about anti-Islamic videos, which the CIA knew within hours had had nothing to do with the murder of Ambassador Stevens. Obama had no idea for three years his IRS might be slow-walking tea-party applications for tax exemptions. He wasn’t in the loop about Eric Holder’s phone taps on Fox News or the Associated Press. Nobody told him. The president has not been more deeply implicated in the scandals since re-election because he could credibly say, “How was I supposed to know what was going on?” Sebelius remains at her post despite manifest incompetence for reasons both ideological and political.
