With the death of Thomas Eric Duncan, news of a second possible case of Ebola in the Dallas area and worries that dogs and other animals could transmit Ebola, fears of a deadly epidemic in the United States are bound to accelerate.
And what is being said is only the obvious part of the psychological virus (call it "Ebolophobia") that is spreading;
Part of the preventive health strategy to ...should be a reliable flow of information and bold policy from the Obama administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But, already, their response lacks the necessary element of steady stewardship. And that’s because of President Obama’s continuing reticence to put America first.
Here’s an example: A travel ban on countries like Liberia, where Ebola is epidemic, makes sense as a technique to keep the virus from accelerating here.
But President Obama is very sensitive to being defined in any way by the borders of this country.
I believe the president may literally believe we should suffer along with less fortunate nations. And if he does, that is a very dangerous psychological stance from which to confront Ebola.
Let me say this plainly, as a psychiatrist who has studied this president only from a distance: In order for President Obama to keep thinking of himself as the leader of the world — and not just the free world — it may be that our boundaries must remain porous, allowing illegal immigrants and, potentially, even diseases to flow through them.
The correct stance against Ebola is a medical-military one that replicates fighting a war in which the enemy has already come ashore and attacked a city — in this case, Dallas.
The borders should be sealed to travelers who have visited nations affected by Ebola in the last 30 days.

A professional psych just noted that Obama sees himself as the leader of the world, and does so in a way that suggests extreme narcissism.
Proof: Virus leaving U.S. children paralyzed did come from Central America
American Pravda will “discover” this story.......after the election.
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...
The president needn’t take “bold” action, just simple, common sense action, like travel bans, and other public health actions to curb and prevent dissemination.
What about Obolophobia?
Oh come on, there is MORE important things for the President to focus on than stupid Ebola. First and foremost is the importance of fundraisers and having his ego stroked by Hollywood dingbats.

Well there’s the problem right there: You mentioned “common sense action”. To take “common sense action” one has to have common sense in the first place. Obama doesn’t have any common sense.
Ebolaphobia plays right into Hussein's hands and in the interest of "maintaining law and order" and stopping the pandemic, he will declare martial law, cancel elections, and declare himself caliph for life. Many (his moron supporters) will welcome these "bold" actions on behalf of the greater good.
The other day, my libinlaw got on the subject of Hitler.
As she was describing him, I chimed in with descriptions and observations about Obola without mentioning him by name.
My wife immediately picked up on it and said something in “warning” in order to keep harmony.
The funny thing was, the libinlaw didn’t get what I was doing.
Six years later I still have trouble processing this.
Rom 1:28
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind
OK, everyone that is surprised by this please raise your hand. What no-one?
“The president needn’t take “bold” action, just simple, common sense action, like travel bans, and other public health actions to curb and prevent dissemination.
You do realize who is in the WH? Those thoughts or actions never cross his pea brain. He’s all about himself, he doesn’t give a damn about anyone else, especially American citizens.
He wants us to suffer.
We await the first person in the media whether it be conservative media or other to say this is on purpose to create unrest via the illegal immigration bringing Enter0virus and Eb0la to our shores with PURPOSE and MALICE to not be able to seat incoming senators and such...armed personnel carriers? 5 billion bullets?
Closest thing we got was on Rush, 10/9 show, a caller introduced the idea...God help us...
“He thwarts the hands of the crafty so their plans achieve no success.”
I absolutely do believe this is the goal
He lived up to it, atheist little, no moral compass prig that he was, and recently dumped my niece. (Asked her to pack his bags after announcing his 'I don't love you departure.) He went to San Fran which gives me an idea which side of his toast he's buttered on.
Fortunately, niece had had enough and told him to shove it...which he probably gleefully did.
She's far more embarrassed than devastated it seems to me. He, on the other hand, always (without justification) considered himself the brightest in the room -- in atheist parlance.
I don't think we ever really did or said anything to him. It's just that the Christian conversation drove him batty. His divorce though was due to a heart of stone and pure self-focus.
I agree... he’s insufferable.
