Why Sebelius will keep her job for now

Challenges continue to mount for Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

Public criticism persists as she prepares to testify Wednesday before a Congressional committee demanding answers about ongoing problems with the Obama administration's health care enrollment website.

Public ridicule reached prime-time - or late-night - when "Saturday Night Live" parodied Sebelius and the HealthCare.gov debacle that has rocked the online rollout of President Barack Obama's signature domestic policy achievement.

    Two political candidates were having a hot debate. Finally, one of them jumped up and yelled at the other, "What about the powerful interest that controls you?"
    And the other guy screamed back, "You leave my wife out of this!"

      NBC has an article on how obomba lied to all of us and they prove it. Check it out all. Man it gets pretty quiet on here when obombas lies are revealed. Think I just heard a pin drop and a cricket. You liberals crack me up! Thanks. 🙂

      Well, except there have been fact checkers that have proven that most of what is asserted was misrepresented. Gullible people who don't do their homework crack me up.

    A man dies and goes to Heaven. He gets to meet GOD and asks GOD if he can ask him a few questions.

    "Sure," GOD says, "Go right ahead".

    "OK," the man says. "Why did you make women so pretty?"

    GOD says, "So you would like them."

    "OK," the guy says. "But how come you made them so beautiful?"

    "So you would LOVE them," GOD replies.

    The man ponders a moment and then asks, "But why did you make them such airheads?"

    GOD says, "So they would love you!"

    Good morning saywhat
    It is good to see you again as well. Have you noticed the lack of news coming out of the ME ? Kind of eerie. The biggest story out of that area lately is the women of Saudi Arabia defying the law of DWW ( Driving While Woman ).
    So attention now has been diverted to the other side of the world with the "escalation" of showmanship between Ja pan and China over those islands. Let's add to that the new revelations of N. Koreas' new construction at their mille launch site.

    An insurance agent approaches a cowboy, trying to sell him an accident policy. The agent inquires, "Have you ever had an accident?" "Never," the cowboy responds. "However, just recently a horse kicked in two of my ribs, and back a couple years ago a rattlesnake bit my ankle." "Wouldn't you call these accidents?" says the puzzled agent. "Nah," the cowboy replies. "They both did it on purpose!"

    Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center. There he advised new recruits about their government benefits, especially their GI insurance. Soon after, Captain Smith noticed that Airman Jones had almost a 100% record for insurance sales, which had never happened before. Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the back of the room and listened to Jones's sales pitch.

    Jones explained the basics of the GI Insurance to the new recruits. He told each of them, "If you have GI Insurance and go into battle and are killed, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don't have GI insurance, and you go into battle and get killed, the government only has to pay a maximum of $6000."

    "Now," he concluded, "which bunch do you think they are going to send into battle first?"

    Lol @ Juan, and i bet he don't walk on water either! Or you even for that matter! So what. He had plans....big plans as it turns out....since he's having to walk ALONE! Remember, all previous presidents had a team working WITH them. Hes had to go it alone basically because Congress hasn't figured out the concept of Team!
