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.”

Thought it was a portmanteau of Susan Rice and Samantha Powers.

I’m thinking quarantine ... no, on second thought, she needs to brief the full Cabinet upon her return ... maybe at an intimate little overnight get together at Camp David. Maybe take a sauna, some hot tubbing, oh, and touch football to work up a sweat.

I wonder if Obama will hug Samantha as soon as she gets back from West Africa?

That female couldn’t find her booty with both hands. The Messiah expects her to find facts? Too funny.

I just checked Power's bio on wiki.

She is a lockstep liberal lawer.

She has zero (0) experience in public health, and no health credential, whatever.

"Fact finding mission?"

One suspects that the alleged "facts" are already prepared, and Ms Power is merely performance art to provide counterfeit cred.

Samantha Power ain’t gonna help Obama!!! The NIH and the CDC are led by Obama braindead puppets. Just the simple fact that two Democrat “Blue” state governors, Quinn & Cuomo have joined with Governor Christie of NJ to impose strict quarentine rules of entry to their states “port of entries, tells you they have no absolutely no faith in the Obama and his failed federal government health organizations

And....where, might I ask is the “Obama” EBOLA Czar, Ron Kline.......nowhere to be found...or has he already been thrown under the bus because he is nothing more that a useless Democrat, moron, political hack!!!

It is the highest obligation for American voters, of all political stripes to turn out and vote all across the country to totally destroy the entire Democrat Party, politically....across the board, come election day, Tuesday, November 4, 2014!!! Make POTUS Obama an instant “Lame Duck” POTUS, come Wednesday morning, November 5, 2014!!!

How long have TPTB know about ebola, the JV of contagions? How much money has been squandered by the CDC, NIH, Surgeon General, Ebola Czar? Witness continually changing protocols. How much does the disease of BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALISM cost to throw hard-working healthcare nurses under the bus of career bureaucrats?

I hate to say it, but I wonder if the outbreaks here will suddenly get worse.

Good idea. How about a fact finding trip for Kerry, Hilary Clinton, Harry Reid, Shumer, Durbin, etc?

You all have a good time.
