His job description is simple: Use the perceived power and authority of the White House to lean on the press to not make so much of that pesky Ebola virus that is raging out of control, kills 70% of everyone who gets it, is spread like the common cold, and for which there is no cure.

It was so upsetting listening to the hearing yesterday- those congress members bought everything the witnesses were saying.

After seeing Gruber’s videos why would anyone believe administration hacks?

What would be the chances of Obama securing $6.18 billion from Congress without the first case of Ebola on US soil?

It’s all about the optics.

Who will be in charge of appropriating these billions of dollars?

This is madness!

You understated WAY OVERBLOWN.

Like other outbreaks in the crucible of filth, West Africa, this ebola session is self eliminating in spite of the West African’s propensity to perpetuate it with their personal habits.

Ebola Czar Vanishes from Democracy Alliance Website
Ron Klain no longer listed as a trustee for Third Way

October 20, 2014 3:05 pm

Third Way, a progressive think tank with ties to the Democracy Alliance, has removed newly appointed Ebola czar Ron Klain from its website, following a Washington Free Beacon report.

The Free Beacon reported Friday on Klain’s status as a trustee for Third Way, and his past experience lobbying on behalf of a drug company that was accused of denying life-saving drugs to dying cancer patients.

The choice of Klain to head the administration’s emergency response to Ebola was criticized as a political move. Klain is a political operative with no medical experience and a former advisor to former Vice President Al Gore, Vice President Joe Biden, and President Barack Obama.

Third Way claims to be the voice for the “vital center,” though the group advocates for immigration reform, gun control, and a “credible alternative to neoconservative security policy.”

**** “They are asking for .... $6.18 Billion” ****

The new Ebola Czar’s job is to find a place to hide and store significant % of that $6.18 Billion

Ron Klain’s job was to get Ebola out of the headlines, and he has succeeded. The man is a master of propaganda and controlled media, unequaled since the mid-1940s.

GOP torn on Obama’s Ebola funding request

By Rebecca Shabad - 11/13/14 12:48 PM EST

Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.) late Wednesday suggested Congress might supply funding to combat Ebola, but below President Obama’s new $6.2 billion request.

On Fox Business Network’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” Boozman said lawmakers are still looking over the comprehensive request.

“We’ll take the president’s request, the administration’s, and then sift through it. We will be supplying funding, you know, for this, but not, I don’t think, at that level,” said Boozman, who serves on the Senate Appropriations Committee.

That panel held a hearing Wednesday on Ebola in which Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell and other administration officials asked for Congress’s cooperation.
