The Obama administration has expressed deep concerns to the governors of New York and New Jersey and is consulting with them to modify their orders to quarantine medical volunteers returning from West Africa as President Obama seeks to quickly develop a new, nationwide policy for the workers, according to two senior administration officials.
One administration official said the federal government has been pressing the governors to back off their decisions, which quarantine all medical workers who had contact with Ebola patients. But another official said the administration has not specifically asked the governors to reverse their policies.
Mr. Obama held a meeting with his top advisers at the White House on Sunday as officials work to craft a policy that reassures Americans that they are protected from the virus while following the guidance of the government’s scientific advisers. Officials said that policy will be ready in days and that the government would urge all states to follow it.
On Sunday both governors, Andrew M. Cuomo of New York and Chris Christie of New Jersey, stood by their decisions, saying that the current federal guidelines did not go far enough.....

I don’t.
what a lovely true-to-life portrait of that guy in my White House...
So this is why that nurse was spouting off about her ridiculous and unbelievable “concerns” about the quarantine process. She sounded exactly as though she had been coached, or was otherwise being used as a prelude to this.
Yup. Elections are deciding this mess. Let's just hope these pols decide after Nov. 2 to back off the quarantines.
A mistake on my part. Pols…not to back off...
Thought so. I was just pulling your leg!
When it comes to an infectious disease like Ebola, revoking quarantine orders for those who comes back from west Africa having worked with the Ebola outbreak is pure insanity and delusion.
Like saying that they have a right, in essence, to infect others they come in contact with at their leisure.
This administration is showing itself, more and more, to be the effectual enemy of the nation.
That was a quick decision by President Obola. He must have read about their decision in the morning paper instead of his usual three weeks later review of the news.
Samantha Powers and her ENTOURAGE will NOT be quarantined......pretty sure she won’t
come near ANY EBOLA VICTIMS.
Seriously, if this gets out of control, you can bet that governors will stop infected individuals from crossing state borders. And if they don’t, sheriffs and municipalities will do it. And if that doesn’t work, individuals will band together to do the job.
There is no way that federal agents will come and carry off Obola victims to treatment centers (death camps). Let’s see if a Fed can take down a feverish but determined Ebola victim with a gun and a hate on for tyrants. Anyone going to take that job?
That would be CW 2. Thank God we haven’t been disarmed.
Ebola is a good example of obomian Trickle-Up epidemics. How dare the state governments interfere with its intended progress.
I think that’s the best version so far.
Yes, he wants us all to die, he didn’t exoect this, it’s ruining his plan! He doesn’t want all the African infected ones under quarantine, that he plans to bring here after the election! He needs to be charged as a traitor!
time for judicial watch to do some more FOIA requests
