If I had Ebola, I would be happy to meet with the occupant of our White House and even to get close enough to him to make any decent person throw up. Purely for the photo op,

Kind of like my ‘fear of needles’, I have said that if I should contact Rabies, rather than the painful(?) shots in the stomach, I would let the Rabies run its course and have a list of people I would bite.

let me check to make sure my understanding is correct:
in the space of four days she went from ebola diagnosis to Bethesda to the Oval Office, is that right...?
because do you know what? This has the faint whiff of fast and furious and Benghazi about it:
It sounds to me very much like once the White House heard that her metrics were going in the right direction they flew her out stat, specifically to permit for this pre midterm photo.
in fact I might even go one step further and speculate that she didn’t have ebola in the first place at all, and that this was an orchestration from the start.
3 years ago that would have sounded completely crazy but with this administration darkly crazy is sort of standard fare.
Not understanding the political value in her going there, or the value, perceived or otherwise, to him fulfling his duties... Amazing.
What would a LIV get out of this?
"Face it, Nina... you threw up *on* the President!"
Yep. What a strange thing it seems to me. Enough to ask to make a person ask, “WT...???”
Should’ve read: “Enough to make a person ask, “WT...???”
Apologies.
“Show up for a photo op with Obama, or suffer the wrath of unionized government bureaucrats for the rest of your life.”
It is hard to respect her after she accepted this. On the other hand maybe Obama would take her into the oval office.
My first reaction would be to not go, but man, what an OPPORTUNITY to tell the man to his FACE what a loser he is.
Then I would cough and vomit on the floor.
You would be able to hear me laughing for miles...
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Ebola has been found to reside in a survivor’s sperm for up to three months. She could very easily carry traces in her system in such reservoirs that don’t show up in standard blood tests.
Like the Secret Service letting an armed felon be in an elevator with the President as an armed guard, they are putting him at risk again.
This time, though, he might have actually known but not cared about the risk.
And I don’t think he’d have done the photo op if it was a white survivor.
Thanks for the ping!
You’re Welcome, Alamo-Girl!
Fox this morning reported that Obama was heard saying to Nina, “let’s hug it out for the cameras”. Is this possible or did I hear wrong?
Yep. She had to be careful to not get something from Obola.
