Sebelius Resigns
Matthews Burwell to Replace Sebelius
So Kathleen Sebelius resigned as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), and President Obama is replacing her with Sylvia Matthews Burwell, the White House Director of Budget Management. This is not a good decision on his part.
Matthews Burwell is the director of the budget, but the White House has never passed a budget under Obama. So what on earth qualifies Matthews to be the Secretary of HHS? Apparently she is responsible for the government shutting down parks and monuments during the sequestration shutdown, which was blamed on Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tx).
Apparently Obama is not so concerned with qualifications for various jobs or he would appoint qualified people to those. But if you can do your political hacking and hurt opponents in the process, you get promoted to cabinet secretary.
