Are these the same "experts" from the local mental institution that say they best way to prevent fire is to throw matches into gasoline?
Bammy certainly knows “ineffective”.
Just like we’ll keep illegal aliens out by opening the border?
“Obama said the experts have advised him that it’s more effective to let West Africans into the U.S. than it would be to keep them out.”
1. that makes ABSOLUTLEY no sense.
2. What “experts”? I need names.
John Holdren depopulation effort part one.
Considering human nature (which "progressives" seldom do), what rational person might not be tempted to deny exposure, as did the patient who first brought the disease to America?
So much for the Administration's "measures."
We should follow the lead of the more “advanced” African countries that understand that with a disease like this all you can is quarantine.
Rush nailed it the other day. What Obama is admitting is that these people will sneak across the border. Ha ha ha. There should be hearings to expose clearly WHY Obama does not want a travel ban.
The thing about Ebama is he will tell you with a straight face the sky is green and he won’t give a damn. He does this all the time. That’s exactly what he is doing here.....again. He says this crap with a straight face because he knows there are morons out there who will buy into it and the press will defend him. I mean let’s think about what he is saying here on a literal level: “The best way to prevent Ebola from getting into the USA is to allow Ebola into the USA.” That’s exactly what he is saying here.
Obama added: "We have to HAVE a pandemic to cure the pandemic."
OK, Freepers, it is time for action.
More is needed NOW than just posting here.
Call your reps in DC and tell them the flights from West Africa through any hub and admittance of anyone from these countries into the USA HAS TO STOP!
The place to fight this disease is at its source, not here.
The “screening” process at our airports is a joke and ineffective. 150 people a day are coming here from West Africa—that is 4500 a month. Some may show a fever and yet may be carrying the virus. The second nurse is proof of that.
Our healthcare system will shutdown if this continues.
We already have cases in Kansas, Nebraska, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Texas.
The first order of business of a government is to protect their citizens. And this government is failing to do so.
The President just appointed a political hack lawyer to head up a medical crisis.
The only thing the politicians fear in DC is you being angry, with a mid-term election 16 days away.
Make the calls.
The family you save may be your own.
“I don’t have a philosophical objection necessarily to a travel ban...”
I do, however, have an affinity for dithering while letting a problem become much worse in hopes that it may break America’s back.
I saw him say that on TV last night.
Eff him. Rot in hell, O’Bola.
Liar in Chief.
OBAMA = TRAITOR
Obams is more dangerous to Americans than Al-Qaeda, Isis or the Obola virus. The POTUS main job is to uphold the Constitution and protect Americans which he has failed to do. Time for the pubbies to show some cajones and impeach the Kenyan!
If t his is true, then why doesn't he close the borders? Does he not see the havoc and chaos he is creating? Doesn't he care?
...But let’s keep in mind that, as we speak, there are children on the streets dying of this disease — thousands of them. And so obviously my first job is to make sure that we’re taking care of the American people, but we have a larger role than that. We also have an obligation to make sure that those children and their families are safe as well, because ultimately the best thing we can do for our public health is also to extend the kind of empathy, compassion and effort so that folks in those countries as well can be rid of this disease.
Seems like they were very quick to mobilize to keep tourists and veterans out of the national monuments (even putting up fences) when the budget sequester took effect but not for this deadly disease.
What a great campaign commercial it would be...if the Repubs were not a bunch of lame tired a$$3s.
Let’s see: a house down the block from you is on fire. You want to help put it out, being a good neighbor and all. So, you figure that the best way to put out the neighbor’s house fire is to gather up burning embers and toss them into your garage, where you have several open cans of gasoline stored.
Yup, makes sense to me.
