Paul Ryan calls for Sebelius to step down

Ryan calls for Sebelius to step down
By Mario Trujillo - 10/23/13 07:48 AM ET

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) became the latest Republican to call for Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to resign over the shaky rollout of the healthcare law.

On a Tuesday night conference call for Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli (R), Ryan said “I do agree” that Sebelius should step down, according to multiple reports.

“I’d probably say that to her if I ever saw her in person,” he said. “It’s becoming more and more clear by the day that they knew the rollout wouldn’t go well.”

Ryan said she failed to heed warning signs that the exchanges were not ready to be rolled out Oct. 1.

And Sebelius will not be asked to step down - I'll bet anyone $20 in a donation to DU on their behalf that it won't even be a blip on the President's radar. He's just trying to scare up another Faux scandal on par with the Bhengazi-Gate bullshit their party leadership started.

He and Romney lost by 25 points and he lost that town in his congressional race
to keep his seat by 10 points.

Ryan's shot at being President would be a very heavy lift .... even his hometown
doesn't like him.

shouldn't get a say as far as I'm concerned. And, at any rate, pushing out a glitchy website that AFAIK hasn't harmed or killed anybody is not a fireable offense IMHO. Republicans just love to see Democratic heads roll but they don't much believe in accountability for themselves.
