Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar
CNN ^ | 10/17/2014 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 10/17/2014 8:01:28 AM PDT by luckystarmom

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama will appoint Ron Klain his "Ebola czar," knowledgeable sources tell CNN. The president on Thursday signaled his openness to the idea to have one individual coordinating the entire federal response to any threat of an outbreak in the United States. "It may make sense for us to have one person ... so that after this initial surge of activity, we can have a more regular process just to make sure that we're crossing all the T's and dotting all the I's going forward," Obama said.

This whole Ebola episode is starting to seem like an alternate, but very real, ending to 12 Monkeys.

A lawyer.

Above all in America, lawyers.

The three branches are almost entirely for lawyers. Regulations are for lawyers. Obamacare is for lawyers. EPA is for lawyers. IRS is for lawyers. Business is for lawyers. Divorce is for lawyers.

Now, a deadly plague is for lawyers.

All these Obama appointed Czars are simply bodies with names for him to point the finger, and blame.

“just to make sure that we’re crossing all the T’s and dotting all the I’s going forward,”

The cliché presidency.

I might be wrong, but didn’t Harriet at least have a law degree?

Well, Klain does have ties to the Mistress of Disaster.

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.

Make the calls.

The family you save may be your own.

We need a Czar because all the other executives Zero has placed in the CDC and other agencies are buffoons incapable of doing the job.

Ron Klain is not a doctor. He is not military man. He is not experienced in logistics or management or operations of any kind. He is a lawyer and political insider and operative.

What a ridiculous choice. Imagine if during Katrina GWB had replaced Michael Brown as point person with Dick Cheney’s chief of staff instead of LTG Honore.

But, wait, he graduated at the top of his class at Harvard, so he must be smart!!

Ron, your job, if you choose to accept it, is to completely contain any political fallout that might affect the election in November.

This message will self-distruct in 10, 9, 8 ...

The guy responsible for the Solyndra debacle is going to be the guy running the Ebola response. THINK ABOUT THAT.

Maybe he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express

SMH

Pizza Hut told my son he was not qualified to make pizza, but this party hack with no medical experience whatsoever is going to oversee American lives. I bet all he knows about ebola are the lefty globalist talking points.

Freepers are naïve.

This is NOT about health or medicine or viruses.

This is strictly about message control on the eve of an election.

This is the perfect appointment from the Democrats' standpoint.

Cool. He held a meeting and appointed someone whose only experience with health care is that he drove by a hospital once.

Problem handled, time for some golf. /s

“Klain will report to both White House homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco and National Security Advisor Susan Rice, according to a White House official.”


That says it all.

We are so screwed .
