“I think the governors are afraid of getting lynched by the citizenry.”
I never thought about it that way, but you may very well be correct. Fear of the voters is a powerful motivator for recalcitrant elected officials. Plus, both governors have higher ambitions, so this makes them look action-oriented and decisive, especially when compared to that blithering, dithering idiot Obama.
Nonetheless, they checkmated Obama on the Ebola chessboard: after the dynamic duos’ fait accompli, the feds have just now started talking about instituting the exact same quarantine at the federal level. Basically, someone in the Obama administration figured out my analysis was dead bang on. Talk about leading from behind!
