President Obama made a monumental mistake in appointing a political hack, Ron Klain, as the Ebola czar. He must undo his error now and give the job to someone of stature and genuine ability.
In alphabetical order, here are three individuals the President should consider immediately for this crucial post:
Michael Bloomberg. Hes not a physician, but from his extensive work with (and donations to) the medical school and hospital at Johns Hopkins University and other medical institutions, he has gained an enormous amount of knowledge.
Ben Carson. A gifted neurosurgeon and former director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Carson has the necessary background in medicine to be able to evaluate what needs to be done.
Bill Frist. A renowned heart and lung transplant surgeon who decided to enter politics, Frist won two terms in the U.S. Senate from Tennessee.
Two areas the new czar would have to tend to right away:
The FDA. Incredibly the FDA has let it be known that it wants to stick to its expensive, time-consuming ways of testing new drugs.
Liability. President Obama hates to cross trial lawyers, who are major donors to him and his party. But the President must ask Congress to grant pharmaceutical companies immunity from lawsuits when it comes to manufacturing vaccines.

Is Steve Forbes really buying into the idea of a Czar for anything? That hiring some guy and letting him have a staff, an expense account and some sort of rule-making power will do one whit of good for the Ebola problem? By the time this ‘czar’ picks out the drapery for his new office the crisis will be over.

Ever wonder why 0bama has appointed countless "Czars" when logically cabinet level department heads should be leading programs? It's because he knows the cabinet heads are certified imbeciles and only have the position to share in the political largess.
If you thought the Czar was appointed to control the outbreak and head off the pandemic, nothing could be further from the truth. He's there to "shape" the message so that no matter how many Americans end up dying, 0bama will not be held accountable.
Another middle finger to all of US.
The President wants to walk into a Ebola staff meeting where they’ve all rehearsed the topic of discussion, and go along with one single theme. It needs to have political objectives and be a simple media message. Klain delivers. The idea that the President is going to fix or solve anything? Well....it just isn’t going to happen.
Never let a crisis go to waste . . .

We need to quit fiddling with titles and get the disease eliminated on our shores and keep it that way.
