The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is both a danger in itself and a wake-up call for Americans — about President Obama, about the institutions of this country and, most important, about ourselves.
There was a time when an outbreak of a deadly disease overseas would bring virtually unanimous agreement that our top priority should be to keep it overseas. Yet Barack Obama has refused to bar entry to the United States by people from countries where the Ebola epidemic rages, as Britain has done.
The reason? Refusing to let people with Ebola enter the U.S. would conflict with the goal of fighting the disease. In other words, the safety of the American people takes second place to the goal of helping people overseas.
As if to emphasize his priorities, Obama has ordered thousands of American troops to go into Ebola-stricken Liberia, disregarding the dangers to those troops and to other Americans when the troops return.
What does this say about Obama?
At a minimum, it suggests that he takes his conception of himself as a citizen of the world more seriously than he takes his role as president of the United States. At worst, he may consider Americans' interests expendable in the grand scheme of things internationally. How To Explain?
If so, this would explain a lot of his foreign policy disasters around the world, which seem inexplicable otherwise.

Right now, the economies of the west African countries are Barry’s number one priority. Same with the political clowns down at the CDC. We’re going to see a lot of taxpayers’ dollars going down those rat holes.
“As if to emphasize his priorities, Obama has ordered thousands of American troops to go into Ebola-stricken Liberia, disregarding the dangers to those troops and to other Americans when the troops return.”
God Bless Them, because they are Dead Wo/men Walking.
How I loathe this POS CIC!
He’s a Muslim, Tom.
Or rather, Dr. Sowell, isn’t that the most economical explanation, which underlies and motivates his lack of care for the Americans in his charge?
We have a winner!
Important article.

Rush has an interesting perspective in that if Obola closes the borders to Africans it will contradict his open borders amnesty plan later this year.
Sowell is never to be taken lightly... thanks for posting.
Sowell is dead on as usual. The irony is that Obama is so inept that we are not doing as much as we should in Africa at the same time we endanger our citizens.
America’s WORST interest is a priority for President Obama.
Is Mr. Sowell officially “black enough” to criticize Obama? Not to liberals I’m sure.
I wonder if liberals will be singing a different tune about Zero if they or one of their family falls victim to this disease? A disease that never needed to be brought into this country. Why are they willing to gamble that it couldn’t happen?
Boggles the mind, but then, liberalism truly IS a mental illness.
I sense a ticked off Dr. Sowell in this one. Yup, he’s not happy.
I agree, Dr. Sowell has ripped 0 many times but it really comes through with this.
Boehner and the chicken s^&&t Republicans need to reconsider impeachment charges for this idiot. He is committing treason against Americans every single day.
You never want to let a good crisis go to waste, you know.
Well met.
Thanks for posting, j.
Dr. Sowell, as always, is spot on.
