She spent most of her last term passing policies to get her notice for a national liberal job. I will be glad to see her go. The Lt. Governor may not be much better but one never knows. Some of her policies have been so bad that they are about to be overturn with veto proof votes by the legislators. The hope here has been if Obama did get elected he would get Governor Sebelius out of our hair.

I’m still not sure how she got elected. GOP had a weak candidate and she had big money and the Newspapers backing her not to mention Kansas City but still. Now I did run across several women her voted for her because she was a women but I hope that wasn’t the reason she won.

Well let's hope she paid her taxes.

I wonder why she is taking this spot too. Seems like if she was out to resume build, she would consider the senate seat a better resume check than HHS, and one that might come with a longer term job security.

The thing that befuddles me about this is that I can’t imagine why one would rather be head of a second tier government agency rather than governor of a state.

Forget where she's been; I wonder why would someone accept such a placement? With so many of Obama's appointments having some serious skeletons hidden, or not so hidden, I think if I were appointed into such a group of people, I'd feel vaugely insulted. Then again, I think criminal behavior isn't a good thing, so what do I know...

Dude, this is pretty obvious--the broad is building her resume.

She's got the Governor thing under her belt, if some type of health reform takes place this chick takes credit for it.

Getting out of the hellhole that is Kansas also gives her exposure to a larger audience.

Assuming Hussein wins in '12, she leaves the admin in '13 to start building her campaign.

If the whole enterprise goes sour--she can fall back on a lobbying/think tank gig.

Its a no-brainer.
