Obama taps Sebelius for HHS secretary
« on: February 28, 2009, 05:39:29 PM »




WASHINGTON – Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is President Barack Obama's choice for secretary of health and human services, a White House source said Saturday.
The source, who was not authorized to speak on the record, said Obama will formally announce the nomination on Monday.

Sebelius, 60, was an early Obama supporter. She picked his presidential campaign over that of Hillary Rodham Clinton, now the secretary of state. Sebelius worked tirelessly for Obama's bid and was a top surrogate to women's groups.

Obama's first choice for HHS, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, withdrew after disclosing he had failed to pay $140,000 in taxes and interest.

Sebelius drew praise for the consumer watchdog role she played as Kansas insurance commissioner for eight years before she became governor.

Her name had been floated for several Cabinet posts. She said in December that she had removed herself from consideration from a Cabinet job, citing Kansas' budget problems that needed her attention.

Great, that should cause a boom in the abortion economy, with her ties to "Tiller the Killer".

So, does this mean we can expect her to issue us IOU's instead of refunds if we pay too much federal tax as well?

She's tapped for HHS, not Treasury... expect planned parenthood talking points in every press briefing and policy statement

I think that was in reference to Kansas not issuing tax refunds to it's citizens.

Did they at least vett her first?

They've done a pretty lousy job of it thus far.  Somehow I don't think the obamanites are very quick learners, so some skeleton's will come slinking out of her closet before too long.

Say, whatever happened to the dems and libs referring to "culture of corruption" whenever they talked about republicans?

Could it be that pelosi and reid, finally after how many years, realized that their own damned party was far more CORRUPT than the republican party?
