Sebelius Experiences One Last Glitch in 'Bittersweet' Resignation Speech

Sebelius Experiences One Last Glitch in 'Bittersweet' Resignation Speech.




In what could be a fitting metaphor following the disastrous launch of and subsequent problems with HealthCare.gov, Kathleen Sebelius had to pause partway through her resignation speech when she realized a page was missing.


Sebelius was quick on her feet upon the discovery, thanking President Obama and others before wrapping up her remarks.


Earlier in the announcement, the president called Sebelius departure bittersweet and congratulated her for overseeing the first launch of the health-care exchanges, even if there were some bumps and bruises along the way. He also introduced his nomination to replace Sebelius: Office of Management and Budget director Sylvia Mathews Burwell.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:

1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.

The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.

Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
