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

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."

BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM...

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

But who is she really?

She’s the genius [political] who gave a $433-million smallpox drug contract to Big CircleD Donor, billionaire Ron Perelman, who owns most of an outfit called Siga. How’d Perelman score such loving attentions from the .gov? He appointed to his board a fella called a “labor leader,” named Andy Stern. Yep. That* Andy Stern, of SEIU and ACT fame. But …

[Stern was compensated] “with stock options that would become dramatically more valuable if the company managed to win the contract it sought with HHS—an agency where Stern has deep connections, having helped lead the year-plus fight for health care reform as then head of the Service Employees International Union.”

all must read the entire article...someone (s) elected a man who believes he is the Global Crusader, rather than POTUS. Heaven help us..............

And they still claim that Obama was a better choice than Romney, and are likely to aid and abet the Dims again...we are beyond help.
