(Reuters) - With three cases of Ebola diagnosed in the United States but dozens of people being monitored in case they contract the disease, President Barack Obama urged Americans on Saturday not to give in to "hysteria" about the spread of the virus.
As though to illustrate his point, a Dallas bus and train station was closed on Saturday afternoon over concern about a woman who fell ill. The woman was first reported to be on the checklist for possible Ebola exposure, but then turned out not to be on any such list.
Obama made plain he is not currently planning to give in to demands from some lawmakers for a ban on travelers from the worst-hit countries.
"We can't just cut ourselves off from West Africa," Obama said in his weekly radio address. "Trying to seal off an entire region of the world - if that were even possible - could actually make the situation worse," he said.

But it's OK to give in to suicidal political correctness.
What we're really seeing right now is total incompetence and utter failure of Obama to instill a sense of confidence and TRUST with the American people during this global health crisis. As a result of his laissez-faire attitude and (lack of) leadership most of us are anxious, fearful and angry while he coddles and gives preferential treatment to the infected foreigners, risking OUR health and safety in the process. Hysteria and fear will be a direct result of his continued failure to lead.
Precisely. Think about it this way... Obama's cool act has mostly worked with him. But there's some things you can't be cool about: Like major disease outbreaks that have no treatment, or nuclear weapons (thanks for ignoring and cutting our deterrent while Russia and China modernize theirs. Our nuclear deterrent is so ignored I wonder how much of it would work if needed.)
...not to give in to "hysteria" about the spread of the virus(es), especially the children that he has sent to secret locations who had the Enterovirus
Grrrrr.... this lie pisses me off. It is despicable propaganda. We can stop direct air flights without cutting them off completely. Look at all the other nations that are excluding flights from Ebola regions
It was OK to give in to hysteria and fear to get Obamacare passed, though.

Si se puede!
“We can’t just cut ourselves off from West Africa,”
Never mind, what I was about to type would be considered by some to be extremely racist.
Those that followed that Clinton saga should be familiar with lawyer Billy Martin.
Amber Vinson has now hired him.
I wonder how the Benghazi and IRS hearings are going?
Good one! Have you noticed how each succeeding disaster pushes the past ones out of the public eye? Who talks about the VA scandal these days (although I heard a grand total of four might be fired)?
Another Obama lie.
Douchbag sez what?
Hey, Buckwheat, you hypocrite, send your children to Dallas to care for sick ebola patients. It’s the liberal thing to do, you worthless bag of commie gas.
Crazy!
