President Barack Obama plans to heap “a lot of pressure” on foreign leaders to do more to fight the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, he said Monday.
After meeting with health and national security aides, Obama told reporters the White House is developing protocols to screen airline passengers “both at the source and here in the United States,” an indication that tougher restrictions on those who have visited West Africa are coming after an infected Dallas man entered the country on a commercial flight.
Obama downplayed the chances of Ebola spreading within the United States, calling the odds of an epidemic here “extremely low.”
The President touted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s expertise in fighting infectious diseases, saying, “We know what has to be done, and we’ve got the medical infrastructure to do it.”(continued)

"Heap a lot of pressure?" What is he, Jethro Bodine or Ebb from Green Acres?

Sorry Barry. The odds should be ZERO! Only morons like you and your political clowns down at the CDC think the odds should be “extremely low”. You’re rolling the dice with the lives of the American people, scumbag.

In every instance (including this one) Obama is either a liar, a fool, or some combination of those two.

The moron has no idea of the concept of low odds. He doesn’t even understand decimals, much less odds.
Obie - Gynee
What a moron.

This from a guy who plays golf every three days and still can't break a hundred.
Probably puts with a pool cue.

Is ‘extremely low’ and ‘smidgeon’ about the same ?

They don't seem to be in much of a hurry.
Protocols should have been designed a long time ago and just need to be implemented.
Had he been asked in the 2004 debates or townhalls, John Kerry would have said, "I have a plan for that." All they need to do is get hold of Kerry's plan, update it, and put it to work. [/s]
