Darrell Issa to Subpoena HealthCare.gov Records: Obama ‘Missed Management 101’

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) told Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer on Sunday morning that he intends to subpoena records relating to the building of the Affordable Care Act federal exchange website, and that President Barack Obama needs to substantively restructure the management of Obamacare.

“You’ve had me on before asking about full confidence in Eric Holder,” Issa said, in answer to Schieffer’s question of whether Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius should resign or be fired.

“This president has to understand, this was his signature legislation,” he said. “They voted it on a purely partisan basis, but they had unlimited money, $600 million just to do this part, and billions to do the other part. The president has been poorly served in the implementation of his own signature legislation. So if somebody doesn’t leave, and if there isn’t a real restructuring—not just a 60-day, somebody comes in and tries to fix it—then he’s missing the point of management 101, which is: these people are to serve him well and they haven’t.”

“If she cannot reorganize to get a kind of a team in to meet his agenda, she shouldn’t be there,” Issa continued. “And when she says she didn’t know, why didn’t she know that the president’s signature legislation was, in fact, in trouble?”
