Why Has Ebola Czar Nicole Lurie Been MIA?
IBD ^ | October 15, 2014 | Editor

Posted on 10/17/2014 5:03:49 PM PDT by yoe

Preparedness: Earlier this week, Sen. John McCain called for an Ebola czar, not knowing one already effectively exists. Why should he, since Nicole Lurie, M.D., M.S.P.H., has been completely M.I.A.

You have to wonder sometimes if anyone in a leadership position in the Obama administration bothers to show up to work these days.

Case in point is Dr. Nicole Lurie, who arguably should be front and center in planning for and responding to the Ebola outbreak.

After all, it's right there in her job title. She's the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, a position created in the wake of Hurricane Katrina that reports directly to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Her mission, according to the HHS website, is "to lead the nation in preventing, responding to and recovering from the adverse health effects of public health emergencies."

Why? Not all Lefist Rats are created equal. RATS by nature are incompetent. Those on the “A” List will not take any responsibilty. They can't afford to screw up the big pay days like Lobbying, Heading up Freddie / Fannie. Being on the Board of Directors of Big Business, MSNBC........

Case in point, Odingo has insulated himself from Ebola by bringing on Ron Klain who should report directly to Odingo. But no he REPORTS TO PROVEN LIAR Susan Rice. Susan just wasn't "A" List. That Odingo is both a racist ( he is half white) and a misogynist.

Perhaps ‘she’ can star with two other Obama appointees in the reality show- “My Three Czars”

I'd bet my life, the administration called her when this broke knowing her job was to strategize for possible troubles of all sorts.

"Nicole, what have you got on ebola?"

Ebola ? Ebola is in Africa....I've got nothin'"

Friedan then became the lead guy to hide her incompetence.

Bet on it.

Obama Has An Ebola Czar. She Re-Directed Federal Research Money to a Democrat Donor

Redstate.com ^ | October 15, 2014 | Erick Erickson

It turns out Dr. Nicole Lurie, the czar in charge of potential infectious disease catastrophes, has made the most of her time by funneling federal dollars to Democratic donors.

That would be the federal dollars the left says we need more of.

She probably is spending a lot of time viewing porn (like many government “workers”).

I bet the only strategies she had in place for possible troubles were strategies in case anyone called her...
