Democrat Political Hack Named Ebola Czar
Posted on 10/19/2014 3:45:14 PM PDT by lbryce
Lawmakers blasted President Obama’s choice for Ebola czar Sunday, with Republicans accusing the commander-in-chief of prioritizing political loyalty over medical or emergency response experience.
"Mr. Klain is not a doctor, he's not a health care professional, he doesn't have background in these issues," Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said on CNN’s “State of the Union” of Ron Klain, who Obama tapped Friday to lead the federal government’s response to the ongoing Ebola outbreak.
"We don't need a White House political operative, which is what Mr. Klain has been. What we need is presidential leadership. The person who needs to be on top of this is the president of the United States,” Cruz added.
Klain is an attorney and a former chief of staff to Vice Presidents Joe Biden and Al Gore.

Who, according to the Constitution, has the obligation, responsibility, power and right, as next in command ?? There has to be someone who in times like these where the Commander in Chief is running amok, either by design or loss of his senses, whereby they must grapple the power of the President away by law. Is there no one in this chicken-sh*t government who will take control by dint of patriotism, of legality to put a stop to this?
Where is General Haig when we really need him?
Hey Obama, be a MAN - Implement a travel BAN!!
Well, Obama put Sebelius in charge of the entire healthcare system, and she majored in poli sci and had an MPA. So this guy seems to be well qualified, by Obamanation standards.
I’d have been happy even with Rudy G., at least he managed to be a leader after 911. He’s not a medical person, either, but would run circles around this guy. Klain’s sole purpose is to CYA for O, he’s the modern equivalent of Clinton’s Bimbo Eruption lady, only times are much worse, now and he’s supposed to make the WH look good as each emerging crisis erupts.
I never though I would say this, but this looks like the perfect time to use the Bat Phone and call Dr. Howard Brush Dean III to the White House and ask him to take on this new project. Dean was schooled at Columbia, Yale and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I bring up Dr. Dean, because as partisan as Obama is, he won’t consider any real conservatives for a Marquee Position. Otherwise, I would say,
“call Dr. Ben Carson, ASAP!”
I was an advance man in Iowa for him.
Dr Carson would certainly have *much* more credibility than the law school hack that Obola appointed.But as a neurosurgeon he's probably not the *best* choice.The best choice would be the Dean (or Assistant Dean) of one of the nation's top medical schools...Harvard,Yale,Columbia.Hopkins,etc.The next step would be for that appointee to surround himself with the top Epidemiologists,Virologists,Infectious Disease Specialists.
Wow. Fascinating. You do recognize the circumstances in which I made reference to him.
It needs to be repeated that Klain will NOT report to the President, but to Susan Rice and Lisa Monaco . Of course when anything happens, Obama will see it on TV with the rest of us. Plausible deniability
We’re talking about the guy who nominated Joe Biden for his running mate.
Even Whoraldo thinks it’s a bad move!
On Judge Janine’s show Ann Coulter said the new Ebola Czar was put in charge of getting the Military Votes thrown out in 2000 election.
To 0bama it is not about stopping Ebola and especially not about protecting the American people,
It's about making political hay!
Howard Dean might not have been such a bad choice. He was a doctor, a governor and ran the DNC, a pretty large organization. And, although we did not like him I never heard that he was terrible at any of those things. It’s a good suggestion. Certainly better than this guy.
Even Ron Kuby was running the guy down on Friday, his resume is a string of failures and corrupt failures.
None of the criticisms matter. Klain is a veteran bag man, and any administration action on ebola will involve big bags of money for redistribution to the right people, with just the right amount miraculously showing up in the obama secret accounts.
I think he’s doing to do a heck of a job, Brownshirtie.
(If you get the reference.)
Address him as Dr. Klain. Repeatedly.
