Late Friday afternoon White House Homeland Security Advisor Lisa Monaco addressed the media on Ebola. Monaco said "we are not facing just a health crisis, we are facing a national security priority."

Monaco said the Ebola virus is "as important as any threat we're facing."

LISA MONACO, WH HOMELAND SECURITY ADVISOR: As the president has said, we are not facing just a health crisis, we are facing a national security priority and it's one that he has instructed his team is as important as any threat we're facing. Since this outbreak began in March the president has directed that we scale up our response, both here at home and in the countries effected in west Africa and that's exactly what we're done. Most recently by deploying United States military members to Liberia and to the region to support civilian efforts on the ground.

Wait. What? Just days ago, no hours ago, Obama said this was nothing, nothing at all and that it couldn't come to American soil!

Now???

These guys are totally, completely and profoundly incompetent.

Just wow.

Which is why your boss won't order the State Department to close off entry to this country to anyone from the Ebola hot spots, right?

Oh, and that southern border thingy is also under complete control, huh?

Yeah...

I don’t think that statement is a lie.

After all, look at how pResident Ebola has dealt with every other critical issue he has faced, and is facing...

I’m watching this barfest right now. Its just double speak. We are not even able to competently handle one case of Ebola in Dallas. God help us if a bunch of cases crop up.

All flights from the 4 hardest hit countries need to be suspended. And they will be. The question is why is Obola so stubborn about it?

Damage control.

Obama’s name and recklessness is all over this from even happening.

They are beginning politically by distancing themselves for the responsible blame as this becomes worse each day.

Well, I can say it’s hard, if not impossible, to believe anything O and his team say.

What other threats?

I thought every day was a holiday and every meal was a picnic with Obama in the White House.

Why the change? Because the election cycle is at hand and the negative outcry is giving this administration whiplash...

I wouldn’t put anything pass them just because the way he shows that he has no regards for the servicepeople of our military and of the traditional form of our government that was designed by the founders to this nation. He has no right to change our government foundation so, he deserves impeachment.
