(CNN) -- There are times when political ambition spurs political leaders to reach new heights of courage and creativity. To date, the Ebola outbreak of 2014 is not proving to be one of those times.
By chance, the deadly infection first arrived on American shores in two states, Texas and New York, where powerful governors are each nurturing dreams of the presidency and eager to posture as men with the right stuff to lead the nation.
But Rick Perry in Texas and Andrew Cuomo in New York are both being tripped up by a dilemma that has bedeviled recent presidents: They are trying to govern an irritable, politically polarized electorate that demands and rewards certainty and bombast from its leaders, even in situations that cry out for flexibility and calm.

Obama got the press in line on Ebola. This is a political stunt. The nurse works for the CDC. The quarantine was no worse than the places that she serves.

Actually Mr. Louis, the Governors are trying for a real world response, rather than Obama’s do nothing response, which is entirely politically motivated.

The simple-minded reaction here has been to propose banning travel to and from the affected countries and quarantining anybody entering the U.S. from those placesWho has proposed banning travel TO the affected countries?
So, is it a travel ban or is it a quarantine?
Why is this article so hard to follow?

Seeing those two names in the same headline makes me think of a nice guy in a sweater with a pleasant singing voice.

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...

“Simple-minded”, huh? Does this mean that they’ve turned on their European heroes, who are usually said by the left to be oh-so-sophisticated in comparison to us American rubes? Since they’ve enacted travel bans?

I miss entertainers like Perry Como — no drug arrests, no wife beatings, no outrageous politics. And to think! We thought life was sort of boring then....;^)

I agree, seeing Cuomo and Perry in the same sentence,made me think that I may have Dyslexia. By the way his father and my father were friends.

Hey! I loved Perry Como. Don’t let Cuomo or Perry anywhere near his music.
