"Everybody was making nice at the White House today as the president thanked outgoing HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius for her fine work on the Affordable Care Act. Was Sebelius fired? Who knows? My question is, how on Earth did she keep her job until now. She oversaw one of the most abysmal product rollouts since New Coke, and for that alone she should have been fired. And what did ObamaCare actually achieve? Many of the 7.5 enrollees are people who had their policies canceled because of ObamaCare. There have also been job losses, premium hikes, out-of-pocket costs soaring, doctors retiring early, and the list goes on. No corporate CEO or NCAA coach would have survived with a comparable win-loss ratio. Obama kept Sebelius as long as he did for political reasons; he doesn't like to fire people because it admits his fallibility. After 'Fast and Furious' and Benghazi and the IRS targeting, why is Eric Holder still at the Justice Department? And why was Susan Rice promoted? I suspect the real reason Sebelius is leaving has more to do with you voters. With the midterm elections looking grim for his party, the president could not keep the face of healthcare reform in place. And come Election Day, you have the chance to help rid us of a lot more people who are in over their heads."

Laura asked Fox News White House correspondent Ed Henry to elaborate on the Sebelius departure. "It might not really have been up to her," he surmised. "They're saying that she approached the president in early March and offered her resignation, but the president did not ask her to reconsider, which suggests that the president did not want her to stick around. They didn't want to announce that in early March because they finally had some good news and didn't want to stunt the momentum. She took a lot of hits for this, but ultimately it's the person in the Oval Office who will take the heat." Turning to Sebelius' likely successor, Sylvia Mathews Burwell, Henry reported, "She has some business experience, she ran a large operation, and she is likely to be confirmed."

Attorney General Eric Holder has implied that he gets harsh treatment because of his race, and President Obama is now contending that Republicans are trying to tamp down the minority vote. Laura discussed the race card with Rich Benjamin of the liberal think tank Demos. "This is not about attacking the Republicans," Benjamin said, "it's about protecting our democracy. The president sees it as protecting the fundamental right to vote." But Laura argued that the president and his top law enforcement official are cynically using race as an shield: "The attorney general is supposed to enforce the law without regard to party politics, but this week he turned his position into a battering ram against the Republican Party, using this sickening and cynical race card. I find that antithetical to what the civil rights movement was supposed to be about."

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, a prospective presidential candidate in 2016, has called illegal immigration "an act of love." Laura was joined by immigration activist Francisco Hernandez, who agreed with that description. "All these folks want to do," Hernandez opined, "is have an opportunity to buy their ticket on the bus and get a piece of the American pie. Who can blame them, there is opportunity here. At least Jeb Bush has been consistent." Laura argued that politicians should spend more time worrying about American workers: "There isn't comparable compassion for the middle class, the people who are not seeing their lives getting better. Those are the people who are affected by illegal immigration."

Laura welcomed Democratic strategist Richard Goodstein, a former aide to Hillary Clinton, and asked him why she is qualified to be president. "She has a lot of accomplishments," Goodstein asserted, "and the paramount one is that when Barack Obama was saving the economy from the precipice, she was salvaging the U.S. reputation around the world. She got Russia to agree on sanctions against Iran, she got a coalition against Qadafi, and she was a beacon for women and children around the world. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are met with a tumultuous welcome every place they go." But Laura refused to buy what Goodstein was selling: "I'm not saying she's not a nice person, but we're talking about accomplishments. The Middle East is still in turmoil, Eastern Europe is afraid of what Putin will do next, and China is on the move. We look feckless!"

Fox News host Mike Huckabee, who may run for president in 2016, entered the No Spin Zone to stress the importance of traditional values, including traditional marriage. "The position I hold," he said, "is the position that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden held in 2008. The president said in 2008 that he stood for traditional marriage because he's a Christian and that's what the Bible taught. I'd like to ask him whether he was lying then, whether he's lying now, or did the Bible get re-written. One of those three scenarios has to be the reason he was comfortable enough to change his mind. If one has Christian convictions, they don't change because of what the culture does." Huckabee added that traditional values are not at odds with pocketbook issues. "Of course we have to focus on jobs and the economy, but you can also talk about issues that touch people's basic sense of character and tradition and history."

Laura introduced Bill's recent interview with ABC News anchor Dan Harris, whose new book documents his battle against drug abuse. "I was 28 when I got to ABC News," Harris recalled, "I was insecure, and my compensation was to be a workaholic. After 9/11 I volunteered to go overseas, and when I came back I crashed and burned. I had an undiagnosed depression, I was having trouble getting out of bed, and, in hindsight, the drug use was a way to revive some of the adrenalin of the war zone. It did not take over my life, but it did ultimately affect my work and I had a panic attack on the air. This was a great example of mindless behavior and I knew I needed to get my life in check, which led me to meditation."

Finally, Laura asked Fox News media analyst Howard Kurtz why so many reporters and producers seem to be protective of President Obama. "There is a collision of several things," Kurtz theorized. "On one hand, some news outlets seem to be going softer on President Obama than, say, President Bush. And there is less investigative reporting, particularly in television, because it is expensive and time-consuming and you tick people off. The softer segments are easier to do and they're cheaper." Laura lamented that all Americans are paying a price, saying, "Regardless of who's in the White House, we want an aggressive media."
