Big presidential entourages from 3 Ebola nations coming to Obama's Africa summit
The Washington Examiner ^ | July 31, 2014 | Paul Bedard

The presidents and other top officials from the three nations considered ground zero for the deadly Ebola virus are still planning to attend President Obama’s U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit next week, adding another layer of concern to a world meeting expected to gridlock Washington for three days.

At least one of those leaders attending the Sunday-Wednesday summit, Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan, is bringing a 73-person entourage. Those from Guinea and Liberia are also expected to be large.

While the travel of the entourages and support staff such as jet crews is naturally raising concerns, the White House tamped down worries and said the summit will go on.

“In terms of the summit, I would tell you that we’re working closely with regional governments to stem the spread of the virus. We have no plans to change any elements of the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, as we believe all air travel continues to be safe here,” said spokesman Eric Schultz on Air Force One as the president returned home Wednesday.

Ebola has struck in all three nations. In Liberia, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said she will stay home but send Vice President Joseph Boakai instead.

Not isane if your goal is to reduce the world’s population by drastic numbers.

Drug resistant TB over the southern border is too slow to declare Martial Law. A good Ebola scare might just be what is needed to keep Obama in power.

What’s the difference. We’re letting 10’s of thousands of typhoid Mary’s cross our southern border daily.

Someday we’ll have a plague or terrorist attack that will make 9/11 seem like a cocktail party.

the White House tamped down worries

(imho) should be the lead story on all lamestream media broadcasts tonight and fifteen minutes spent on explaining this decision by the obama White House. I'll say or type this to the lamestream media ... Think you and your families are not at risk and you are justified in supporting the obama administration? Look no further lamestream media for a true reason to turn on obama and his crowd; obama's crowd means to kill you and yours also. Go right ahead lamestream media deny, deny, deny and never watch what is happening, by the obama crowd, right under your noses.

Me, too. It will be interesting to see if he shakes hands or hugs anyone on camera.

There's some irony here. I was thinking about him the other day, and I decided that he acts like a potentate of an obscure African country... but he's President of the US.

He's having a ball, stirring the pot, laughing in everyone's face, golfing, taking off on vacations. He love it, and himself. A true malignant narcissist. That might be a more important factor than all of his guiding ideologies.

That notion seems to come from a lot on the left as a solution to all sorts of problems. Their go to response is to reduce the population regardless of the problem. What better way than to infect the common people by spreading 3rd world diseases to a population with little or no natural immunity.
