To me the question is, once the president learns of the incompetence of a subordinate, what action does he take? Does the president hold the subordinate accountable, and fire them? Or does the president just let them keep on bungling. Rumsfeld eventually resigned, but Bush didn't push him out, meaning Bush owns Rumsfeld's failures. In my opinion, if Obama doesn't hold Sebelius and Clapper accountable, he owns their incompetence and misconduct.
