Outgoing Health
and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius officially announced her
resignation Friday, but just like the glitches that plagued the federal website
for Obamacare – healthcare.gov – which she was responsible for, Sebelius
experienced a glitch of her own when the last page of her speech went missing….To Read More….
My Take - She loses a page from her
speech….really? Get real. How much of a speech does someone need to say
– I’m gone! Then she fails to pronounce
the name of her replacement properly….supposedly someone she knows and
respects. This was a fittingly example
of her reign at Commerce, or was it Labor?
No, I think it was Energy, or perhaps Education. Wait, how about Job and Family Services? No that’s a state agency. Wait, wait….I know, I know…it’s the Bureau of
Land Management….no, that’s a bureau under the Interior Department.
Oh well, does it really matter which incompetent department an incompetent politico heads up?
There’s a side bar to all of this. Her father was a former Ohio Governor, John
J. Gilligan (D). A one term governor - and in
Ohio that’s a rarity. Almost all Ohio
Governors get a second term unless they’re idiots, like Strickland (D). Even Gov. Bob Taft (R) was re-elected, and it was obvious he really was a Mr. Potato Head.
Gilligan was a big spending, big government, social engineering, tax
increasing guy who never saw a government agency he couldn’t fall in love with,
and just like the current administration he played games with the public’s
property (closing state parks) to push his plan to pass the
state’s first income tax. That, among
other gaffs, such as - “I shear taxpayers, not sheep”
- doomed him to lose to another big
government, big spending Republican, John Rhodes (R), which
“short-circuited the plans of
his staffers and Ohio Democrats who were setting the stage for a two-term governor......to
run for president in 1976. Instead, the honor went to a former governor of
Georgia, Jimmy Carter.”
It would appear the apple doesn’t fall far from
the tree.
