President Obama has "complete confidence" in Kathleen Sebelius, the White House said Wednesday after the Health and Human Services secretary spent her morning testifying on Capitol Hill.

"The president has complete confidence in Secretary Sebelius," principal deputy press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One. Some Republicans have called on Sebelius to step down over the launch of HealthCare.gov, but the White House has consistently said that the president supports his Cabinet member.
