For the first time a high level administration official, as close to Obama as you can get, gives the American public something once only reserved for our enemies....an apology.

Quote:You deserve better," Sebelius said as she began her testimony to the House Energy and Commerce Committee. "I apologize. I'm accountable to you for fixing these problems.

Bleh. That's just the technical issues. The law itself is the atrocity.

That entire administration is full of failure. Yet WE'RE the ones holding the country hostage... F*cking idiots. They deserve all of this, and they own it.

"In written testimony released ahead of Wednesday's hearing, Sebelius vowed to improve the website and said the consumer experience to date is "not acceptable." But she defended the law itself and said extensive work and testing is being done.

"We are working to ensure consumers' interaction with HealthCare.gov is a positive one, and that the Affordable Care Act fully delivers on its promise," she said in the prepared remarks.

Sebelius blamed the website contractors and the "initial wave of interest" for the glitches, but expressed confidence in the experts and specialists working to solve "complex technical issues."
"Mr. President, at some point there has to be accountability. Expecting this secretary to be able to fix what she hasn't been able to fix during the last three-and-a-half years is unrealistic," he said on the Senate floor on Tuesday. "It's throwing good money after bad. It's time for her to resign -- someone else to take charge."

I still can't believe it, tech issues or not. This after claiming who she doesn't work for.

Rings hollow with me. She's as partisan a hack as they come. This will be the first step in the "We have an apology to the American people, now it's time to move on and move forward and fix this new system for the American people". Wait for the Carni to start parroting that line.

This is step one in sweeping, this too, under the rug.

True. But someone had to come up with and/or appprove the regulations that go with it.

mach was already saying that a few days ago. leftists love being serfs and insisting that things will get better if we'd all just work harder at serving their masters.

I'm accountable but there will be no action taken against me because at some level this is the republicans fault.

Wait. Was this accompanied by a resignation?

No and as happens 99% of the time...no one gets fired.

Yes, I saw a headline on TV this morning, about people to get "grilled by Congress" over the debacle. Yeah? Whatever. It will end there, and they'll probably have a beer together afterwards.

Will you ever post a retort that doesn't rely on invective and name calling?

Don't hold your breath.

Not on this board. I gave that up a long time ago.
