The Obama administration said Thursday it’s relying on the news media to help tamp down public anxiety over Ebola.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters the president is not considering giving a prime-time address to the nation about the virus. Instead, other administration officials — such as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Thomas Frieden — will continue speaking to the American people.

Dear President Obola,

I do not need more liars trying to calm me with lies.

I am calm.

I am however alarmed, because it is quite clear to me that my government does not care at all whether I or anyone else lives or dies.

It is quite clear the government is the mortal enemy of every single person in this country.

“On Ebola, White House calls on media to help calm public”

In other words, obama is calling on the liberal media to provide cover for him.

In other words...

Obama: “Let the cover-up begin!”

Those of us here on Freep knew before he was elected - this clown was never prime time ready. Unfortunately we are all paying the price.

He will go down in history as the worst president ever.

So like any other “crisis” this WH’s facing, it is all just a simple “messaging” of their Narrative, isn’t it?

Tell me why Clooney is/was Obama’s top advisors again?

The Obama administration said Thursday it’s relying on (it’s worshipping allies in) the news media to help tamp down (Blaming Democrats) over Ebola (unitl after election day).

There, it’s fixed....

That was on CLEAR display this morning, as the CNN talking heads were spewing Media Matters talking points, like blaming Republicans for Sequestration cuts to Disease studies.

Marching orders have been given to the acolytes in the press. It is no longer politically correct to question why infected but asymptomatic West Africans are still being allowed to come into the US. All must adhere to the one world/no borders ideology of Obama.

If it wants to calm the public about ebola, the Obama administration needs to stop being so publicly stupid. It's the extravagant show of incompetence that has people shaken up.

I refuse to believe (yet) that most Americans will blame others beside Obama. He’s in charge, and showing no leadership or concern.

Instead, he should send out Dr. Goebbels or his double out to speak for him.
I think its about time for him to go into the bunker.
