While Jack Cashill today focuses on why President Obama cannot be trusted on Ebola, Byron York of the Washington Examiner does a quick accounting of the president’s track record fully supports Cashill’s conclusion.
On September 16, the president flew to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta to speak to the public on the disease with the reassuring and authoritative logo of the CDC behind his head. (That was also where the Secret Service allowed him to board an elevator and stand inches away from an un-vetted security contractor with loaded gun, who happened to have an arrest record, but that’s another story.)
As York shows, just about everything the president told us about the disease was wrong:
The chances of an Ebola outbreak in the United States are "extremely low," Obama said. U.S. are working with officials in Africa "to increase screening at airports so that someone with the virus doesn't get on a plane for the United States." And then this:
In the unlikely event that someone with Ebola does reach our shores, we've taken new measures so that we're prepared here at home. We're working to help flight crews identify people who are sick, and more labs across our country now have the capacity to quickly test for the virus. We're working with hospitals to make sure that they are prepared, and to ensure that our doctors, our nurses and our medical staff are trained, are ready, and are able to deal with a possible case safely.
Obama added that in the unlikely event an Ebola case appeared in the United States, "we have world-class facilities and professionals ready to respond. And we have effective surveillance mechanisms in place."

We need to take it back.
EObolo has never told Americans the truth.
He is mentally unable/unstable to ever tell the truth.
Obama and the Dems are trying desperately to maintain the ignorance of the Low Information Voters re this.
If the LIVs panic, it’s over for the Dems.
Ebola has more documentation than Obola, the Moslem Impostor.
What’s amazing is not that he said it, but that he maintained policies that were virtually guaranteed to have the opposite result—namely not cutting off travel from the outbreak countries.
Airline / TSA personnel making medical diagnosis of EVERY INDIVIDUAL who boards a plane?
This is another “disaster” we got due to odumbo missing all those “briefings”. The bastard is totally incompetent or deliberately trying to infect the entire nation.
OBAMA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AN INCOMING HEALTH CRISIS OF APOCALIPTIC PROPORTIONS.
Incompetence and malfeasant is the coat of arms of Obama’s administration
The Centers for Disease Control Changed Its Ebola Prevention Page on September 19, 2014. Why?
PJ Media ^ | 10/1/14 | Bryan Preston
PREVENTION
PARAPHRASING SOCRATES, THE CDC ADMITES THAT ALL THEY KNOW IS THAT THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT EBOLA.
CDC edited out the following text on Sept 19:
Because we still do not know exactly how people are infected with Ebola, few primary prevention measures have been established and no vaccine exists. When cases of the disease do appear, risk of transmission is increased within healthcare settings. Therefore, healthcare workers must be able to recognize a case of Ebola and be ready to use practical viral hemorrhagic fever isolation precautions or barrier nursing techniques. They should also have the capability to request diagnostic tests or prepare samples for shipping and testing elsewhere.
Why did the CDC edit all of that information out? Did the science change, or did the government make the edit for some other reason(s)?
There is no FDA-approved vaccine available for Ebola.
If you travel to or are in an area affected by an Ebola outbreak, make sure to do the following: •
Practice careful hygiene. Avoid contact with blood and body fluids. •
Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids. •
Avoid funeral or burial rituals that require handling the body of someone who has died from Ebola. •
Avoid contact with bats and nonhuman primates or blood, fluids, and raw meat prepared from these animals. •
Avoid hospitals where Ebola patients are being treated. The U.S. embassy or consulate is often able to provide advice on facilities. •
After you return, monitor your health for 21 days and seek medical care immediately if you develop symptoms of Ebola(http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/symptoms/index.html).
Healthcare workers who may be exposed to people with Ebola should follow these steps: •
Wear protective clothing, including masks, gloves, gowns, and eye protection. •
Practice proper infection control and sterilization measures. For more information, see “Infection Control for Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers in the African Health Care Setting”. •
Isolate patients with Ebola from other patients. •
direct contact with the bodies of people who have died from Ebola. •
Notify health officials if you have had direct contact with the blood or body fluids, such as but not limited to, feces, saliva, urine, vomit, and semen of a person who is sick with Ebola. The virus can enter the body through broken skin or unprotected mucous membranes in, for example, the eyes, nose, or mouth.
OBAMA OPEN US BORDERS TO A DOUBLE WHAMMY - TERRORISM AND EBOLA
Doomsday warning: UN Ebola chief raises ‘nightmare’ prospect that virus could mutate and become airborne - making it much more infectious
United Nations warns Ebola virus currently plaguing West Africa could become airborne
The longer it moves between human hosts the greater possibility of mutation.
The risk grows the longer virus is living within the human ‘melting pot’ NGOs have said the Ebola virus is currently infecting five people every hour.
More than 3,300 people have died from Ebola since the outbreak first began.
Officials call for 1,000 new Sierra Leone isolation centres to contain virus British survivor says ‘horror’ of children dying from disease must be avoided.

From Pigs to Monkeys, Ebola Goes Airborne
Nov 21, 2012 | Jane Huston | Research & Policy –
Ebola has a 21 days incubation period before the infested person show symptoms. The CDC maintains that a person infested with Ebola cannot transmit it until they show symptoms of the disease. How can they assure that the person cannot infest another person after 10, 15, or 19 days of being infested by the virus while still not showing symptoms of the virus? The CDC falsely assure the American people that it cannot be transmitted by air although studies in Canada seems to prove otherwise.
When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air. The team, comprised of researchers from the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease, the University of Manitoba, and the Public Health Agency of Canada, observed transmission of Ebola from pigs to monkeys.
They first inoculated a number of piglets with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus. Ebola-Zaire is the deadliest strain, with mortality rates up to 90 percent. The piglets were then placed in a room with four cynomolgus macaques, a species of monkey commonly used in laboratories. The animals were separated by wire cages to prevent direct contact between the species. Within a few days, the inoculated piglets showed clinical signs of infection indicative of Ebola infection.
In pigs, Ebola generally causes respiratory illness and increased temperature. Nine days after infection, all piglets appeared to have recovered from the disease. Within eight days of exposure, two of the four monkeys showed signs of Ebola infection. Four days later, the remaining two monkeys were sick too. It is possible that the first two monkeys infected the other two, but transmission between non-human primates has never before been observed in a lab setting.
Airborne and droplet transmission both technically travel through the air to infect others; the difference lies in the size of the infective particles. Smaller droplets persist in the air longer and are able to travel farther- these droplets are truly “airborne.” Larger droplets can neither travel as far nor persist for very long.
What do these findings mean? First and foremost, Ebola is not suddenly an airborne disease.
Doctor Boards Atlanta Flight In HazMat Suit To Protest “Lying CDC”
Zero Hedge ^ | 10/2/14 | Tyler Durden
“If they’re not lying, they are grossly incompetent,” said Dr. Gil Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician from Springfield, Mo. as he checked in and cleared Atlanta airport security wearing a mask, goggles, gloves, boots and a hooded white jumpsuit emblazoned on the back with the words, “CDC is lying!” As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, Mobley says the CDC is “sugar-coating” the risk of the virus spreading in the United States.
Say what?
since when has he proven to be right about anything?
Something's gonna have to give, far be it from me to say what it might be...
His advisers gave him the wrong information.
Bush should have seen it coming 10 years ago.
He read it on the google just like everyone else.
The whole thing is a white conspiracy to kill black people.
Its caused by man-made global warming.
...and these are not excuses he makes. These are the excuses the media has given.
Lets see... what else?
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
“Something’s gonna have to give, far be it from me to say what it might be... “
I really hope what that might be is my state Texas takes Ebola containment into its own hands and sets enforcement of border entry EVERYWHERE.
Would love to see the feds send in stormtroopers to stop the state enforcement officers, as there would be 100k armed citizens to back up the officers.
The Bundy debacle for the feds was nothing, as this is Texas where we all have guns and know how to use them.
May be the beginning of the great debate about reining in federal abuse of power retained by the states.
“And we have effective surveillance mechanisms in place.”
</hr>
...you mean like on the Southern border? What a joke. They have checked all 11milliom illegals they can’t even find now? I’m betting that new “Honduran Flu” killing our kids came from the wave of sick kids that were allowed in the purposely dispersed to heighten the infection. If I didn’t know better, it looks like E-Bama is setting up a reason for Marshall Law.
I think what Obama probably means is that people who are comatose, convulsing, vomiting uncontrollably, and bleeding from multiple orfices will not be allowed to board planes. This is probably within the competence of Airline/TSA personnel. What is scary is that this is the level of screening that Obama thinks is appropriate.
Just let us know when, Tex, and keep the Red River bridge open. :)
What do we expect from the lying king.
i expect nothing less from incompetent, affirmative action, stoners.
unfortunately, we’re putting our lives in their hands.
i’m unsure how long this will be tolerated
