I think we have the answers by now.

Is Obama doing what he can to create an EBOLA scare as a way of keeping voters home on election day?

Low turnout benefits democrats.

Are cautions people going to want to stand in line with a bunch of strangers who might be carrying the EBOLA virus?

"(questions about the president’s competency)"

I have absolutely no questions about his competency- He is quite competent in his holy jihad of destroying the Great Satan and the Little Satan. No one else could have destroyed so much so quickly.

Well, there were a couple guys that dressed up in black with clubs at one polling place.

Yes, I noticed that one too.

What was Bush’s major error in Katrina? With Iraq, it can be debated whether we should have been there...but Bush won the war. It was Obama that screwed everything up.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest, asked Wednesday whether Obama remained confident in CDC Director Tom Friedman, said “that pointing fingers of blame will not be constructive here.”

“What’s evident, I think, from this president’s leadership style is that he’s focused on solving problems,” said Earnest, who steadfastly denied ulterior motives for the president’s canceling of a campaign and fundraising swing.

This almost made me spit my Green Tea all over my screen at work.

...and many would argue that Wilson screwed us with his WWI actions. He ran on a platform that he would keep us out of the war. Then we ended up at war anyway. If the US had stayed out of WWI, there was a chance that there wouldn’t have been a WWII

It would be common sense to at least stop issuing visas to people from Ebola infected areas. Obama’s refusal to close our borders to this global epidemic can only be understood in a political context. Closing the borders due to Ebola would expose Obama’s open borders policy to push amnesty for millions of illegals who would then would become Democrat voters.

Cong Royce (Republican-Cali) recommended the State Department stop issuing visas for non-US nationals in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone as a “containment measure that may help mitigate the risk of further translocation to the United States.”

own country. I'll represent who I dam well please."

The 1916 election was entirely about staying out of the war. Roughly sixty days after the results...the plans team were ready to go with the war plans in early 1917. Public sentiment really was dazed over this.

Oddly, we go back 1912, and Teddy’s little tirade against Taft that created this mess. Teddy could have easily sat out 1912, and came back in 1916 to run again...winning easily as the “war-president”.

It’s not about competency. He deliberately chose his policy based on his ideology.

He makes the incompetent and widely detested Bush look good.

Dealing with the ebola crisis is above his pay grade.

This is his Katrina.

There have been uncountable reasons to question 0vomit’s competence, starting from before the 2008 election.

My question is: What is it about the current situation that is different from the previous six years that suddenly would make someone question his competence?

I guarantee you’d be treated with less deference by the authorities than the blackpampers were in 2008.

"Obama hasn’t had a major error like Katrina or the War in Iraq." Oh for Petes sake.

My thoughts exactly.

The writer is insanely, blindly supportive of Obama. The reality is that all of Obama's actions have been major errors, which is the only reason why no particular crime or illegal action stands out. It's easy to list his worst moves and simply miss the IRS abuse, or Fast and Furious, or the Obamacare rollout, of a thousand other catastrophic actions, on an almost daily basis. There's always a recent blunder (like keeping the borders open to Ebola) to make you forget the previous high crimes and misdemeanors.

Yep. And the worst part of the Katrina response was School bus Nagin and the progressive media.

I voted absentee. Please consider this option. If you contact your local Board of Elections, ask them if this is still possible. It should be. Over two weeks left....

Encourage others to do so.

It's extremely difficult to maintain a facade of trying to better the status quo, when you are trying to do the very opposite.

Obogus never had the intention of bettering the nation; only to transform it.
