Obama will give it preferred immigration status, as long as it votes RAT.

How about the US bringing an already ill Ebola patient to the US for treatment?

I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

...and with Obama looking like a role model for the antichrist, why not?

Nah, he comes later. This one is the rider on the white horse with the bow, sometimes associated with “Pestilence”, dropping people in their tracks with his arrows.

And yes, I know this particular rider also has other associations, but I think this is the more apropos one for now. His brother on the red horse already rides far and wide across most of Africa and the Middle East, and the black rider with the set of balances (Famine) has been glimpsed in several areas of the Globe.

I cant believe Obama is not postponing the African conference next week. What could be so important to risk infection?

If it breaks out in the US, it should be renamed “O-bola” in honor of our first black prez. It might be his most lasting legacy, and the “never let a good crisis go to waste” opportunity he really, really needs to get people to beg the gubmint to “...do something! Anything! Take away all our rights! Please, just save of from the O-bola bleedout!”

Milton may be the kind of migrant that the European press demonised the most

LOL. The press demonising oh-those-poor-migrants is as fictional as the story's characters.

Reminds me of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, where 2/3 of all humans on Earth die from an ape virus.

The worst thing to do is bring the ill here for treatment. The disease is so virulent you MUST contain it or face the worst health disaster in American history.

Optics. He needs to be seen with African blacks. Ironic, because the contrast makes him look even whiter.

I get Ebola and Ebonics confused.

One is an affliction that affects the central nervous system. Human-to-human transmission occurs via direct contact. It has the potential to cause great harm to entire segments of the population.

The other is a disease that has killed a bunch of people

I highly recommend reading the entire article.

http://frontpageafricaonline.com/index.php/news/2506-sawyer-s-final-hours-in-lagos-indiscipline-rage-strange

FrontPageAfrica has now learned that upon being told he had Ebola, Mr. Sawyer went into a rage, denying and objecting to the opinion of the medical experts. “He was so adamant and difficult that he took the tubes from his body and took off his pants and urinated on the health workers, forcing them to flee.

Looking to get to the bottom of Sawyer’s strange ailment on the Asky Airline flight, which Sawyer transferred on in Togo, hospital officials say, he was tested for both malaria and HIV AIDS. However, when both tests came back negative, he was then asked whether he had made contact with any person with the Ebola Virus, to which Sawyer denied. Sawyer’s sister, Princess had died of the deadly virus on Monday, July 7, 2014 at the Catholic Hospital in Monrovia. On Friday, July 25, 2014, 18 days later, Sawyer died in Lagos.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that the average incubation period for suspected cases or someone who has made contact with an Ebola patient is eight to ten days from exposure to onset of symptoms. The range is from two to 21 days. “That’s why we recommend that contacts of an infected person go on a fever watch for 21 days,” says Stephan Monroe, deputy director of CDC’s National Center for Emerging Zoonotic and Infectious Diseases, at a briefing Monday.
