The nation is facing a deadly threat from the Ebola virus, so President Barack Obama has deployed a new, poll-tested strategic defense adverb.
Before Wednesday, “tenacious” had not been said in the White House press room since at least March 2011.
But since Wednesday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest has been bombarding reporters with the adverb.
He used it five times on Wednesday. ”So what you are seeing from the federal government, however, is the kind of tenacious response that reflects evolving circumstances,” he said.
He threw it out six times Thursday. He used it at least four times Friday. The adverb is likely intended to defend Obama from growing public worries about his feckless response to the Ebola threat.

“No one is more tenacious than Obama”
The adverb is "tenaciously."
Morons. I'm surrounded by morons.
The adverb is "tenaciously."
Morons. I'm surrounded by morons.
And it is part of the tenacious response, to appoint a political hack to be Ebola czar, and calm all of our fears.
We all have great confidence now, since this Ebola czar has no medical or healthcare background or experience whatsoever. He seems to be an inspired choice, since he has worked for Al Gore and Joe Biden. Wow, what a choice. I’m so relieved that our president has found a top notch point man for this. (sarcasm)
But you repeat yourself.
Obama is tenaciously spreading ebola.
Our government is only worried about their usual agenda, with a PR coating for this crisis.
They don’t realize how big a problem this is yet.
This is a real crisis.
Obama protect America. That is your job.

I’ve noticed sometimes, that you hear various liberals in the media, use the same words to describe their position on an issue.
It always makes me think, the talking points went out, and everyone is parroting the same lines, using the exact words they were told to use. Nobody thinks for themselves, they just parrot the talking points.
HHHHHHHHHH
There.
Ten aitches.
I remember the Tenacious use of the word Gravitas.
Stop the flights, strictly quarantine.
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.

Another annoying word they use is “pivot.”
This should be a main Republican campaign poster saying” Look what the socialist Democrats can do for you!”
But since Wednesday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest has been bombarding reporters with the adverb.
Being "tenacious" is really, really good when addressing pesky little problems which crop up "unexpectedly."
Mr. niteowl77
Thanks to our poor education system, probably 90% of Americans don’t even know what the word ‘’tenacious’’ means.
Tenacious enough for you?
