Trainwreck atop a trainwreck: Gupta interviews Sebelius on Obamacare website/implementation

Plenty has already been reported about this ludicrous interview given by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta (dodging Congress, but has time for the MSM, go figure). Here's a couple of jewels that you may be hearing repeated throughout the day...



Uh huh. Did Sebelius really say Obama didn’t know about issues with the website before implementation? Yep. Here's Gupta's thoughts in a post-report...
"According to Sebelius, President Barack Obama was not aware of any significant problems until a "couple days" after the website had been launched.

The Affordable Care Act is touted as a signature achievement for the Obama administration, and it surprised me that the President was not being kept up to speed -- according to Sebelius -- on the concerns around the rollout."
Also, we get the 'I'm Not Signing Up for Obamacare' elite response...peasants!



Great WZ comment: "You know, because she had good insurance, unlike the crap they are pushing on the commoners."
CNSNews: In an interview with CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta Tuesday night, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said she won't be enrolling in the problem-plagued health insurance system that she was charged to implement.

"I have created an account on the site. I have not tried signing up, because I have insurance," she told Gupta.

But Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says government officials like Sebelius should be required to live under the same laws they impose on everyone else.

Paul is now plugging a constitutional amendment that states, "Congress shall make no law applicable to a citizen of the United States that is not equally applicable to Congress." The amendment also contains two provisions that apply that same principle to the Executive Branch and Judicial Branch of the federal government.
Agreed...but good luck getting the majority of either party on Capitol Hill to agree to live by their own law. That would likely require taming the federal leviathan through the states' amendment process (the same process that Levin lays out in The Liberty Amendments).

Anyway, these are merely two examples pulled from the trainwreck atop a trainwreck that is Sebelius managing Obamacare.
