Obama Dodges Question on Whether He Will Fire Sebelius
Obamacare website rollout was a mess
President Obama in a Super Bowl Sunday interview with Fox News's Bill O'Reilly dodged when asked point-blank if he will fire embattled Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius over the flawed ObamaCare rollout.
"I promise you that we hold everybody up and down the line accountable, but when we are midstream, Bill, we want to make sure we our main focus is how do we make this thing work so people are able to sign up and that is what we have done," Obama said.
The president claimed that the ObamaCare website, www.heatlhcare.gov, is now completely fixed.

What if O'reilly flew into a rage and slapped Barry with a glove.
"And to you sir, pistols on the morrow!"
"There has been a challenge! Do you accept, Mr. President?"
"Uh, uh, well, Bill, you see, you can rest assured that, uh, this...this uh, insult will not go unpunished. We will do everything in our power to, uh, fix this. I, uh, accept."
