Ebola Headlines if a Republican was President (vanity)
(none) | Oct. 16, 2014 | (self)

Posted on 10/16/2014 4:04:58 AM PDT by BobL

I cannot help but wonder what kind of headlines we'd be seeing if, say, Bush was President, rather than Obama. I like the question format - the headline is question, which allows it to be both biased and have the ability to deny it's biased (i.e., we're only asking a question...we never said you killed your wife, we just asked if you did kill your wife). A very effective technique the media uses against Republicans.

Here are few that come to mind, maybe others have ideas too:

"Ebola, is the President Doing Enough?"

"Ebola Starts its Spread in the United States, Despite Official Assurances that it was Contained"

"CDC under Bush, what exactly do they plan for, if not Ebola?"

"Katrina Revisited - How Ebola is Testing the Competence of the President"

"Ebola, was the CDC Complacent?"

"Ebola, is the President taking it Seriously?"

I looked through 12 of the biggest US media sites and the ONLY headline that I saw mentioning the President and Ebola at the same time was this:

"Obama tells CDC he wants Ebola 'SWAT team' ready to go anywhere"

Also this one, related...

"US steps up domestic response to Ebola crisis"

“President George EBushla”

“Why Republicans Hate Health”

“What If America Simply Jailed All Republicans?”

“Kill Conservatives Before Ebola Kills Us”

“We Hate Conservatives. Oh, BTW, Ebola”

I think (might be wrong) that the vast majority of common sense people know that the US Media are a bunch of touting losers spewing forth ideas that some research team put together for them and they act their way through their news casts as if being experts...

the US Media are bias - they are hypocrites to the max...and anything suggestions they have I ignore - because not one of them knows what they are truly talking about...like good ole’ Shepard Smith of Fox News...Mister “Everyone Kept Calm” — good to know when you are bringing in a 6 figure+ salary...

Protecting Obama from being a known traitor on the news doesn’t stop people knowing it and responding to it...we’ll see in NOV what happens the next day when the tally is done...either this republic is over - or it’s a turning point to save it...

Another one comes to mind, blaming the CDC emphasis of “gun violence” on Bush.

“With limited funding, was the President unwise to have CDC continue to study Gun Violence with the Ebola Breakout in Africa?”

(probably too long though)

The kicker is “common sense.” How many folks really have that quality?

LOL’d Laz, I was thinking of some tame headlines along the the lines of ‘the republicans war on women” but your’s are great.

Time for the Solution to the root problem in a single day:

Playing Russian Roulette with people THIS LATE in the crisis! When does the ‘A-Game’ kick in? From the beginning, up until now:

This is too stupid to be stupid!

Which means?

Either it was deliberate or insane.

One thing is for certain — ‘why’ doesn’t even matter. A high crime and misdemeanor does not need to demonstrate motive. And the only ‘proof’ required is abject, unpardonable failure to do one’s sworn duty. The RNC should go through the motions — impeach in House and patriotic senators petition for an impeachment trial on the same day.

A single day!

Public record is all that is required at this point.

PUT THE DNC ON THE HOT SPOT. THIS CRISIS IS FAR ABOVE PETTY ‘RACE’ ISSUES BECAUSE EVERY RACE IS VULNERABLE TO EBOLA! If the DNC wants to subject the US to more of this ‘leader-ship’, let it BE ON RECORD! Then let the voters decide next month.

We can choose to forgive without pardoning. Forgiveness is a matter of the heart, not a matter of good governance.

They’ve actually already done:

“Ebola Response Shows Racism”

and

“Republicans Caused Ebola Via Sequestration”

What did Bush know about Ebola and when did he know it?
