Calling Doctor Howard, Doctor Fine, Doctor Howard ...
Bloomberg would first scour the entire city of an Ebola patient to ensure it was a gun-free zone.
Then he’d worry about thousands of people bleeding to death before his eyes.
How about Ron Klain’s old boss? Janet Reno.
Ron Klain is a perfect choice . . . for 0bama’s purposes.
Carson has already made it clear that he would not accept such an appointment.
He knows that Obama would merely shift whatever blame arose from the situation to Carson. However, if it succeeded, Obama would take the credit.
It is a no-win situation with Obola in office.
The person you hire is usually based on how you view the job they will be doing. If the job was viewed to be all about public health, then a doctor with experience in immunology would have been hired. If the job was viewed as a political problem, then you would hire a political “fixer”. It’s that simple.
Obama doesn’t want Ebola contained in America, he just doesn’t want to take blame for the deaths. So Klain has been installed as a scapegoat Obama knows will take orders from him. Klain has never been anything more than a partisan flunky.
If 0bola REALLY wanted to select a “non-partisan” administrative individual —irrespective of medical qualifications— why not Mitt Romney? With his prior Executive experience (like the Olympics), this would truly have been a magnanimous move, worthy of ‘The One’.
It wouldn’t be too different than selecting Bloomberg, and would take Romney out of the GOP mix – that is if they really felt he was a threat in 2016…
Bill Frist would be perfect. His pro-life stand for Terri
Schiavo is a plus. In addition, his experience with Hospital Corporation of America reveals that he knows what accountability is all about.
How about stuffing the whole idea of a “Ebola czar” altogether? What do they add to the equation?
>>He must undo his error now and give the job to someone of stature and genuine ability.<<
.
Stature and genuine ability?
Why change the existing standard that he has established for his administration?
No he didn't.
The entire job of the "Ebola czar" is to spin the press coverage so that Obama doesn't get blamed. Of course he is going to name a political hack.
If Obama appointed "someone of stature and genuine ability" his czar might put preventing a national pandemic over protecting Obama's butt. That would be totally unacceptable.
Everything Obama does is a disastrous mistake.
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.
