I applaud President Obama for his Health and Human Services secretary pick and congratulate Gov. Kathleen Sebelius on the nomination. This won’t be easy, but I’m sure Sebelius is up to it if confirmed.
Sebelius’ years at the helm of a Republican state attest to her abilities to work with others of opposing viewpoints and get things done. Much like the president, Sebelius can see past the partisan bickering and special-interest group vitriol that often cripples attempts to fix urgent issues facing us all.
Best wishes and good luck, Kathleen. I know you can do it.

We want them to fail in implementing policies that will be harmful to the country.

"God, what is it with wishing failure on people lately? You want Obama to fail, you want Sebelius to fail. Who else?"
A lot of good Germans wanted Hitler to fail as well. Do you find fault with them as well?
And you on the far left are simply being dishonest when you say that you didn't want Bush to fail. How often did a moonbat say, "I support the troops, but not their mission." By not supporting the mission, you were saying you did not want it to succeed.

"Apparently, Jess was being sarcastic."
Nope, Jess got it right. You're the one being sarcastic, which is nothing new.

Y'know, as much as I loathed Bush and his policies,. I never once wanted him to fail because that would mean more problems for all of us, and more deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. I saw his policies leading to failure, and I got angry, but I never wished him failure just so I could say 'I told you so'.

Tell that to the skilled trade worker sitting on the bench becuase she denied a much need project in Holcomb, all based on her ignorance.
She's another worthless politician, may she fail miserably at her socialism.
