The White House is launching an aggressive, public campaign to counter the movement of some states most notably New York and New Jersey to quarantine American health care professionals who return from treating Ebola victims in West Africa.
Obama made an unscheduled statement on the South Lawn this afternoon to highlight what he said was the need to support health care workers when they return home, support which presumably would not include isolating them. And in a staged event designed to draw attention to the issue, Obama will meet at the White House Wednesday with a group of health care professionals who have been treating Ebola patients.
The combative, almost political nature of the effort suggests the fingerprints of Ebola coordinator Ron Klain, whose background is as a Democratic political operative. Nevertheless, the aggressive nature of the campaign also suggests the White House has concluded that quarantining health workers could have disastrous consequences for the effort to quash the disease.
The president today repeatedly insisted the protocols for the health workers should be guided by science and facts, implying that the moves to quarantine health workers were ultimately irrational.
America in the end is not defined by fear, Obama said. We dont just react based on our fears we react based on judgments.
Obama pressed the case that hampering the ability of U.S. health care workers to head to West Africa and back would imperil worldwide efforts to stop the disease before it gets to the United States.
If we dont have robust response in West Africa, we are endangering ourselves at home, he said. They are doing Gods work over there, and theyre doing that to keep us safe.
there is another explanation.
he wants us citizens to suffer a pandemic of ebola. it will be an epic crisis to exploit.
I totally agree! would give him a reason to enforce martial law & also huge population reduction. Our hospitals seem to struggle with one Ebola patient, could you imagine 50-100! He's so obvious but not bright enough to have anticipated Governors who want to protect their states.
his hack cdc director reacted in fear when he banned sodas larger than 16 ounces. could kill ya if you drank them.
his hack unlicensed cdc director reacted in fear when he banned transfats in nyc. could kill ya if you ate them.
ebola? keep them flying in. it will be worse for us if we don’t let them in.
They must be politically tone deaf....the party of Ebola...I like it!
his plan is to use ebola to weaken the economy with ebola fear and erase our borders totally

You’re right. He’ll continue to get away with as much as he can.
This is what Obama is afraid of:
Given the enterovirus situation and things like drug-resistant TB, a case can be pretty easily made that there is a substantial risk that immigrants are bringing in dangerous communicable diseases. States can easily enact laws that would require immigrants into the state to show a doctor’s clean bill of health or be subject to quarantine. Of course, illegals who sneak in would break these laws too, which would open them for arrest by the states for breaking health and safety laws.
Obola is applying strategy from Richard Andrew Cloward and his wife Frances Fox Piven (both longtime members of the Democratic Socialists of America). The Cloward-Piven Strategy seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse. An Ebola pandemic would certainly overload the government. If it is true that Obola is using the Cloward-Piven Strategy, it would prove the demonic nature of his motivation.
If you just change assumptions to look at it from the perspective that he is out to inflict as much harm as possible on America, he has done everything right.
The libs are talking about these (unionized) HCW like they talk about unionized first-responders and unionized teachers. They are all selfish saints who are underpaid, or so says the media and the Rat Party. It is a get out the vote ploy.

Well, looking at it from that standpoint, I am sure you are right.
>> We dont just react based on our fears we react based on judgments.
Your judgment is crap. You’re benched, JV!
Obama wants us to trust him after telling the big lie if you like your health insurance you can keep your health insurance, period.
Charge the traitor-in-chief with treason and get his sorry butt out of the White House.
I sense that this is an issue which might bond REAL Democrats and REAL Republicans because it is a life and death issue in our faces. I wonder about people who object to something as small as a 21 day quarantine to protect vulnerable people from a fatal danger. It is such a small sacrifice..I just do not get it.

“Demonic” is the correct term to describe this diabolical plan.

And don’t forget salt and cigarettes.
There are 150 people a day coming into the country from Ebola countries who are too stupid (like Duncan) to even know they are infected. They can easily be infected without symptoms. That is the actual problem, not HCWs.
Just wait til some of our soldiers get ebola.
You think your polls suck now you antiAmerican mooselimb punk.
Just wait.
This is just inexplicable. Why is he so passionate about the potential for this to spread in the US.. Very perplexing
