Don't sweat it Sylvia Burwell.
The nation as a whole could have done a much better job than re-electing a certified-57-states-stupid, swaggering, incompetent, clown as POTUS.

A group of kindergarten students probably could have done better.

Obviously CDC should have explained more clearly to the Ebola virus the protocols it was supposed to follow.

No SHIT! I’m sure glad we always figure this stuff out after the fact when the information has been known for decades.
