Obama and the Ebola Bus Line
Radix News ^ | October 20, 2014 | James S. Robbins

Posted on 10/20/2014 1:58:21 PM PDT by Abakumov

President Obama has been going out of his way to assure the world that you can’t catch the Ebola virus by riding on a bus. In a September 2 video message to West African countries suffering from Ebola outbreaks, the president assured people that they cannot get the disease through “casual contact like sitting next to someone on a bus.” ...

But compare Mr. Obama’s laid-back attitude to responses in countries that have more than a mere briefing-book knowledge of the Ebola threat.

Tarnue N. Jeke, Managing Director of the Liberian National Transit Authority (NTA), takes a more serious view of the challenges of Ebola and public transportation. In “Measures for Prevention of Ebola in Liberia” he outlines policies far different from the White House do-nothing approach.

In Liberia, all NTA buses are sprayed down with chlorinated water every time they leave the compound. Bus drivers and conductors are forbidden from transporting any acutely ill people, and if they see someone who shows symptoms they are required to report them.

Here, the protocol is more like: “Yeah, go ahead - ride the DART commuter rail. What could happen?”

THE WHO
“Magic Bus”

Every day I get in the queue (Too much, Magic Bus)
To get on the bus that takes me to you (Too much, Magic Bus)
I’m so nervous, I just sit and smile (Too much, Magic Bus)
You house is only another mile (Too much, Magic Bus)

Thank you, driver, for getting me here (Too much, Magic Bus)
You’ll be an inspector, have no fear (Too much, Magic Bus)
I don’t want to cause no fuss (Too much, Magic Bus)
But can I buy your Magic Bus? (Too much, Magic Bus)

Nooooooooo!

I don’t care how much I pay (Too much, Magic Bus)
I wanna drive my bus to my baby each day (Too much, Magic Bus)

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it ... (You can’t have it!)
Thruppence and sixpence every day
Just to drive to my baby
Thruppence and sixpence each day
‘Cause I drive my baby every way

Magic Bus, Magic Bus, Magic Bus ...

I said, now I’ve got my Magic Bus (Too much, Magic Bus)
I said, now I’ve got my Magic Bus (Too much, Magic Bus)
I drive my baby every way (Too much, Magic Bus)
Each time I go a different way (Too much, Magic Bus)

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it ...

Every day you’ll see the dust (Too much, Magic Bus)
As I drive my baby in my Magic Bus (Too much, Magic Bus)

See, the mistake everyone is making is that they aren't really listening to Obama and obeying his orders.

Director Frankenstein at the CDC said "If you're showing symptoms of embola, don't ride the bus because you could infect someone."

Then he said, "You can't get ebola from riding the bus."

The problem is, Obama and Frankenstein are expecting the sheeple to do as they are told.

He told people who have ebola symptoms not to ride the bus. And since he told them not to do that, well, obviously no one with ebola symptoms is gonna ride the bus. So, voila, it's safe to ride the bus.

Don't you get it? Just do what you're told and everyone will be fine. Sick people won't ride the bus, so you won't get sick just from riding the bus. Simple!

Remember, the average Liberian IQ is 67 (!), and they’re still smarter than our government.

PING!

No one should ever expect anything of substance from Obama. He is called Emperor Zero for a reason. In his Empire all the emperor has to do is say something is true and it becomes true.

Perhaps a tenth of the EXEMPT and the EXPERTS
ought to spend a week in the HOT ZONE to give them
some credibility.

Rotating a tenth each week ought give the
Ruling EXEMPT Class some insight.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

SEN. TED CRUZ DISCUSSES EBOLA WITH CANDY CROWLEY

He responds with such common sense and leaves Candy speechless, just eager to go to another question.

Ted Cruz is presidential material.
