Obamacare Live: Sebelius delivers SNL-like testimony

CNN, of all networks, captured the perfect representation of the total failure of the (Un)Affordable Care Act from concept, to content, to execution, to implementation in one powerful split screen graphic.

Health and Human Services (sic) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testified Wednesday before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, bravely taking blame for difficulties accessing healthcare.gov.  CNN, along with other networks, covered the proceedings live.   While she denied the website ever crashed, CNN (CNN!) continued broadcasting the proceedings on half of the screen while the other half had a live screen shot of the website itself headlined with the oh so perfect, oh so truthful "The system is down at the moment."  And the site really was down all through her testimony.

No, that wasn't part of a Saturday Night Live skit, it was Obamacare live.  And not funny at all.

The unfunny Obamacare Live hearings skit continued.  Rep Cory Gardner (R-CO) persistently questioned her if she was purchasing insurance through the government exchange.  Practicing what he preaches, Gardner decided to live under the law and rejected his government insurance plan.  Sebelius didn't.  After all, she didn't have to, wasn't eligible, it is illegal.

Sen. Barrasso: Sebelius now 'laughingstock of America'

Sen. John Barrasso on Sunday added to his criticism of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’ handling of the ObamaCare website, saying she is now the “laughingstock of America.”

The comments by Barrasso, R-Wyo., who last week called for Sebelius’ resignation, follow NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” comedy show in which the opening skit featured an actor pretending to be Sebelius talking about the site and its problems.

Barrasso is just one of dozens of congressional Republicans who have called for the resignation of Sebelius, whose agency has handled the development and Oct. 1 rollout of the site.

Thirty-three House Republicans, separately, sent a letter to President Obama urging him to ask for the resignation. They appeared to be joined Sunday in the call by Tennessee GOP Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who said Sebelius will testify on Capitol Hill this week "before she's out the door."

"The incompetence in building this website is staggering," Blackburn told "Fox News Sunday." 

Sebelius last week fought back against calls for her resignation, saying she doesn’t work for the people asking her to resign and that “no one is getting fired” over the glitches.
