It is so reassuring that Obama has a good lawyer and political operative to head up the effort against the spread of Ebola. He is always looking out for the American people to find the most qualified person for the job. The fact that he has no background in diseases, healthcare, medicine or epidemiology is unimportant. He does know how to spend trillions and that is the key qualification.

I bet it’s easier dealing with Ebola than Biden.

[ How many years has he studied medicine and the transmission of infectious diseases? ]

Ebola-eussical, the Musical..

You cannot catch it on a Bus.
Even if you lick infected pus.

You cannot catch it from a Hug.
Harder to get than flu, this ebola bug.

You cannot catch it from a mouse.
Or rooming in an infected house.

You cannot catch it from the air.
Even on a plane ride from Zim-zam-zaire.

You can trust the Cee Dee Cee
Obama will save us, you will See....

Maybe Obama looked for a doctor who wanted to step into the whole mess and after finding no takers, Biden piped up and said he knew a guy.

Rest assured, he will be compensated highly for his effort.

Obama hack.

Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and our duty and it is THEIR duty to protect US.
Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or Google your congressman or senator and get his contact information and call him / her office directly. You can also call or go to their local offices.

I believe decisive response is urgent because you can’t put this Ebola genie back in the bottle once it gets out. It is a fire, it consumes all the fuel it can get and the fuel is people. The only way to stop a fire is to block it from the fuel or cool it with water. A vaccine or medicine to treat Ebola would be the water and we don’t have reliable, enough or any.

Every possible measure must be taken to stop the spread before draconian measures are imposed. What is being done now is sloppy. We are walking a dangerous road. The threat is blossoming by the day if not hour. Almost every hour there is some new Ebola development and none of them are good. This is a serious and potentially deadly event. Unchecked it could destroy or weaken the United States and facilitate our destruction by others. It has that potential for every country and that is why so many are responding with such strict quarantines. These consequences, no matter how small the probabilities, demand a full effort and significant response.

Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isn’t this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: “Stopping travel from Africa won’t do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola.” “You can’t get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others.” “Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies.” What about ours? What about our safety? What about resources we have paid for that should be protecting us?

Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.

Klain is President of Case Holdings and General Counsel at Revolution LLC, a technology venture capital firm based in Washington, DC.

That cinches it. Obama is going to use Ebola do to another Porkulus and funnel a few more billion to his peeps.

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

This will not make us safer from ebola. It’s just another way to take away more of our rights.

Is there anything to indicate whether this guy is even a competent Flack? The guy worked for Gore and Biden. Sounds like he's a two-time loser.
