This outbreak is being handled as a political problem instead of a scientific, medical problem.

And this appointment is yet further proof of it.

This administration, their entire party, disgusts me and their actions could bring us all to ruin.

Idiotic for normal people, but makes complete sense to Obama and his sycophants.

Nicole Lurie would have been even worse. I think “shes” crooked, a long time “social justice” idiot, and looks like “she” hasn’t always been a woman.

PLEASE don’t show any pics.

‘Her’ and that massive government Health woman from Belgium should open their own haunted house. Henry Waxman would probably help them, since he doesn’t have much to do this election season.

Leave it to President Obama to try to head off an Ebola epidemic by appointing a “Czar” whose only medical expertise it to tell you whether your chad is pregnant.

So incompetent.

This guy will be there to protect Obama

That's exactly right. The current point man (CDC head Frieden) is a clumsy liar. That is hurting Obama politically.

This new guy is a smooth liar. The fact that he knows absolutely nothing about medicine is immaterial.

Look into the history of the Democrats since Clinton. Obama and Clinton have appointed lawyers in the place where trained professionals should have been. Clinton put lawyers in charge of the FDA, APHIS and USDA and the results is what we have today with incompetence.

A lawyer in charge of overall care of an infectious and contagious disease such as Ebola is a recipe for disaster. Not only a lawyer but a political hack. Where is congress and the Senate?

He’s being brought in for one purpose and that is to be an insider able to get information, and coverup the information for Obama. He is a big time political hack, his loyalty has never been to this country and never will be.

A Leftist Jew. I’m shocked. He probably meets all the other requirements:

IMMATURE
ARGUMENTATIVE
THIN-SKINNED
A COMPLETE POLITICAL HACK
ZERO PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

Obama hates women, so he is appointing a white male to do her job, and probably will pay him more.

One thing the government has done is ;

spent America into oblivion. How will America recover from our debt and obligations? ... and it is increasing daily.

NOW THAT IS SOMETHING TO GET UPSET ABOUT!

IT HAS TO stop!.

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.
