'Whatever!' Sebelius: Knew of fed O-care website security risks in AUGUST; Launched anyway

Wait, what?

Sebelius says she knew about security risks on http://t.co/tFgTW6gk6w in August but "there's risks with every system that goes live"

That’s right. In testimony before the Senate Finance Committee Wednesday morning, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that they knew about the security risks in August. Shorter Sebelius?

“Whatever.“

Hatch ask Sebelius when you learned of security risks. Sebelius says, August. Yet, the launch went ahead as planned.

Double whatever.

Did I hear this right…..#sebelius just said security wasn't a priority?? #obamacarefailureexcuses

Sebelius: “No one suggested the [security] risks outweighed the importance of moving forward”

Oh well then. Case closed.

This Twitter user nutshells it:
