I was rather surprised to see this lineup of questions proposed by NPR for HHS head failure Kathleen Sebelius. At the same time, she is now a very convenient scapegoat for the failure of ObamaCare. After all, the more attention of Sebelius gets (and she is a large part of the problem but like all Obama’s minions, just a gog in his machine), the less is on Obama. I’m all for that at this point. Remember, we want them to be destroyed by their arrogance and hubris. If they throw Sebelius under the bus, Obama will proceed full steam ahead. Despite just hitting an iceberg.
5 Questions Kathleen Sebelius Must Answer
The hottest hot seat in Washington is the one occupied by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, whose office confirmed Monday she’ll testify about the Internet disaster that is Healthcare.gov, the Affordable Care Act website.
It’s not yet clear when she’ll go before Congress, but it won’t be soon enough for the Republicans who are calling for her resignation. Sebelius originally declined to appear before the House Energy and Commerce Committee Thursday, saying she had a scheduling conflict.
Many Democrats are also fuming at the shambolic roll out of the federal health exchange website, which isn’t just an embarrassment to the administration but a threat to President Obama’s legacy.
When she does testify, here are five questions Sebelius will almost certainly get:
What did she know and when did she know it?
How many people have actually “enrolled” for health insurance through the health exchanges?
How can anyone trust that the problems will be fixed in time when past Obama administration assurances proved so wrong?
Do the problems with Obamacare support the delaying of the individual mandate for a year?
Given the scope of the problem, shouldn’t she resign?
They expand in each question. Click through and read the whole thing.

Very funny….this is the ultimate “I told you so”…
Did she try to take a drag off that sharpie?
Don’t know about that sharpie Strider, but she surely does look like a harpy.
The look on here face in this photo answers every question for me. The look of disgust and complete contempt for anyone that dares question the Obamacare queen.
Her photo pose is that of ‘the cigarette smoking man’ in the X-Files television show.
I believe Tammy said this, Wash. Examiner reports that 88% of the 25k who’ve signed up for Ocare are medicaid enrollees, eg, only 12% have enrolled in private ins. plans that they pay for. http://washingtonexaminer.com/enrollment-numbers-show-why-john-kasich-cant-claim-to-oppose-obamacare-while-pushing-medicaid-expansion/article/2537488
Per Buzzfeed, http://www.buzzfeed.com/bennyjohnson/22-websites-that-are-more-popular-than-healthcaregov , Ocare website is 278 most visited website in U.S. and 3,395 most visited in the world. Seems to indicate that adult content sites get much more traffic. So instead of Silicon Valley building the website, the WH should have contacted that valley outside LA.
I know that adult content sites get more attention from my computer than does Healthcare.gov. Wait, did I type that or was I just thinking it? Edit, Edit…
She’ll be the scapegoat–and just like Holder and Clinton–absolutely nothing will happen to her. No consequences whatsoever. She will be “thrown under the bus” but that bus will have a very high ground clearance and Sebelius will emerge virtually unscathed.
BO has completely surrounded himself with arrogant sleazeballs. Birds of a feather… .

Good riddens, Kathy! Why does she remind me Glenn Close’s rendition of Cruella Deville? Ya know, she’s probably the best-dressed woman in DC. Shame too, those oil stains from under the bus aren’t gonna come out. Isn’t it about time to trade-in that bus for a tractor trailer?
