Obama sends Power to west Africa on Ebola fact-finding mission ( Samantha Power)
The Guardian (UK) ^ | 10/26/2014 | Guardian staff

Posted on 10/26/2014 7:33:56 PM PDT by RightGeek

As controversy over the US response to Ebola cases within its own shores continued, the US ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, arrived in Guinea’s capital Conakry on Sunday to see first hand how the global response is failing to stop the deadly spread of Ebola in west Africa.

In Guinea, Power, who will also visit Sierra Leone and Liberia, said she hopes to gain a better understanding of which resources are missing so she can push other countries to offer more help.

The three west African countries are bearing the brunt of the worst outbreak of the hemorrhagic fever on record that the World Health Organisation (WHO) says has killed nearly 5,000 people. A small number of cases have also been reported in Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Spain and the US.

“We are not on track right now to bend the curve,” Power said. “I will take what I know and I learn and obviously provide it to President Obama, who’s got world leaders now on speed-dial on this issue.

“Hopefully the more specific we can be in terms of what the requirements are and what other countries could usefully do, the more resources we can attract.”

LOL, that'll help. Maybe she'll find that it was today to a YouTube video.

As for Obama's phone, the only people he has on speed dial are Reggie Love and 15 golf courses.

Maybe God didn’t hear what she said about invading Israel. Then again, maybe he did.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

I’m pretty sure He was also listening when the DNC kicked Him and Israel off the party platform, by voice vote THREE TIMES.

Presumably she will be riding buses around with Ebola patients, since we are told you can’t catch it on a bus.

who’s got world leaders now on speed-dial on this issue.


This is seriously funny. Nobody sane could make this up.

Hopefully she and the entire Obama admin will be quarantined when she gets back. We would have at least 21 days free of their incompetence.

The only fact that would be useful is if she contracts ebola or malaria or some other third world disease
