Six years ago he put his legacy-building healthcare legislation ahead of the need to create jobs and reboot our fragile economy. Today, his ambition to be a hero to Africa is undermining common sense approaches to protecting Americans from the Ebola virus.
At issue is the enormous popularity of George W. Bush in Africa, a love affair that highlights how little, by comparison, Mr. Obama has done for that continent. As The New York Times reported in 2013, Bush “is seen as a lifesaver who as president helped arrest a deadly epidemic [AIDS] and promoted development of impoverished lands.” As The Times noted, “During a final trip as president in early 2008, Mr. Bush was warmly greeted by huge crowds of the sort he never saw at home anymore.”
That’s a bitter pill for Mr. Obama, who makes little secret of his dislike for his predecessor and who, as our nation’s first black president, was expected to make great contributions to Africa. It must gall him that U.S. approval ratings in numerous important African countries have tumbled under his leadership.
The president, who opened his 2013 speech at the University of Cape Town by saying, “Some of you may be aware of this, but I actually took my first step into political life because of South Africa,” is desperate to rebuilding his standing. He is trying to do so in foolish and dangerous ways.
Sending 4,000 American troops to the epicenter of the viral outbreak, to help build medical facilities and generally contribute manpower to the stricken and chaotic nations, can only end in tragedy. This is not what our troops signed up for.
At the same time, President Obama is refusing to cancel flights to the United States from the most stricken nations.

“Risking”?
Hoping for?
First, only if the epidemic spreads here will Americans spare no expense to find a treatment.
Next, an epidemic as devastating as Ebola will no doubt contribute to the destruction of the economy ala Cloward & Piven.
Finally, it will teach racist Americans what its like to live in the third world. Obviously they still have a debt to pay for the sins of racism & bigotry.
And the beauty of it is there is no political price! In two years Obama retires to the links with a handsome pension.
We need to quit calling it the Ebola epidemic or the HN whatever the hell it is killing kids all over America, and start calling with EVERY thread, political speech and news article “The Democrats Biological Warfare on America”. Please help.
“In two years Obama retires to the links with a handsome pension.”...And handsomely paid speaking engagements.
You’re right. The virus brought to our kids from the Democrat’s illegal alien invasion is really scary.
PLEASE copy and paste my post my saying (or make a better one) and post it every time you read a “Disease” thread, talk to a radio show or write a letter to the editor in your newspaper.
PLEASE help me spread the word, or make up something more catchy than War On Women.
That's what I thought. A hero to Africa, not us.
They are importing human weapons of mass destruction.
Please, help me spread the phrase.
It could also be used to justify the complete nationalization of our health system.
Memo: Ebola Exposed US Troops To Be Quarantined Near Washington DC
Any soldier exposed will immediately be brought back to US; UK will NOT bring back infected troops
Per CNN via InfoWars
What happens when it shows up in DC?
A hero to Africa, not us.
A hero to Islam, not us.
All the politicians and public employees will leave ahead of it. Elections may have to be suspended?
Thy have more control there than anywhere else. The could engineer that on whatever schedule they wanted.
That Obola began his SECOND biowarfare hit against
the American Homeland,
AFTER EV-D68, which was his FIRST,
shows this is nonsense. He planned this.
I think we should start offering sight-seeing specials to Capital Hill for anyone from West Africa.
