I thought the editors at the Charlotte Observer were
pathetic political hacks, the News and Observer is giving those Obama
sycophants a run for their money. Here is
an excerpt from one of their ridiculous editorials entitled; Republicans
discredit themselves over health care reform:
As governor of Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius was
respected by her peers around the country for managing the state budget in a
no-nonsense way and maintaining worthwhile programs. She has been in politics
for over 25 years, and from the state house in Kansas to insurance commissioner
to governor, she has proven herself a capable administrator.
Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts knows all that and in
fact has been a family friend of Sebelius for some time. So it was a
particularly shameful moment in Sebelius’ appearance before the Senate Finance
Committee this week when Roberts called for her to resign. But he knows he has
a re-election challenger from the right-wing of his Republican Party, a tea
partyer, who’ll blister him if he doesn’t join the ridiculous, exaggerated
assault on health care reform.
Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, long one of the more
sanctimonious voices in the Senate, is running Roberts a close second in the
embarrassment sweepstakes, as he at one point said to Sebelius, “We’re not in
it just to give you a rough time. We’re in it to try and hopefully get it
right.” That’s preposterous.
Kathleen Sebelius is a respected and capable
administrator? Her tenure as governor of Kansas is
marred with failed programs. Here is an
excerpt from The Daily Caller:
Obama
administration Health and Human
Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’ failure at designing websites to provide
government services began during her term as governor of Kansas, long before
the Obamacare website debacle, Kansas political insiders told The Daily Caller.

Sebelius oversaw numerous costly and disastrous
government website projects during her six-year governorship (2003-2009),
including a failed update of the Department of Labor’s program to provide
unemployment pay and other services and similar updates pertaining to the
Department of Administration and the state’s Department of MotorVehicles (DMV) services.

The Department of Labor’s overhaul of its computer programs was a notable boondoggle,
according to 14-year former Kansas state senator and former state Labor
Secretary Karin Brownlee.

Secretary Karin Brownlee.
“In the
Kansas Senate, I chaired the Commerce committee. We had oversight over the
Department of Labor. For years, we watched as the Department of Labor under
Sebelius worked on that computer program. After seven years and $50 million,
something should work,” Brownlee told TheDC.
“In
Kansas if you have a 40 or 50 million dollar project, that’s a lot of money,”
Brownlee said, noting that the Labor Department project was funded by federal
money while other Sebelius website projects sucked up state taxpayer dollars.
“They started and stopped that project with at least 3 different major
contractors.”
When Brownlee was appointed
to head the state’s Department of Labor under new Republican governor Sam Brownback in
2011, she was tasked with cleaning up Sebelius’ technical mess

republicans have legitimate concerns about this Obamacare fiasco. The only ones who have discredit themselves
are the editors at the New and Observer.
