The communists use Czars to control people, not disease. Everything about this administration swings in that direction, control the people. Communists suck.

Man, I wish this was satire, but I see nothing but the actual truth in what you wrote.

Klain is the one-hundred-day guy. He’s there to basically set up a shop, hire some facilitators and scientists, and delay talks to the Senate until January. By that point, the Republican majority Senate will sit down and ask so many questions that the President will be forced to admit that hiring a political guy was a mistake. But by this point, the quarantined crowd will number over 2,000 and be beyond any point of stopping.
I would also suggest that the President really doesn’t appreciate the 2-star common sense style of the CDC, and probably doesn’t want to sit in any conference room with them any longer....thus handing the job over to Klain. The CDC over the past month haven’t impressed anyone, and I’d say that it’s almost time to bring in some four-star Army medical general and press the CDC back to handling measles shots.

On the razor's edge between truth and fiction, and sometimes crossing the line...

Basically Klain was brought in to spin, BS and double talk.
He's Obama's number two press secretary/con artist in charge of deflecting Ebola screw ups and dangers.

I thought this was satire? It reads like the exact truth of this matter.

“I thought the fact that a person selected should have the appropriate medical background would go without saying. Boy was I wrong.”
Years ago we called the temp agency for a large office move (filing cabinets, desks, etc.) The agency said “what qualifications?” The boss thought - we’re moving furniture - it’s not like he needs a college degree. He replied “He needs a strong back!”
The next morning the guy showed up. Strong back and strong arms. In a wheelchair! (He manned the clip-board).

Careful. Copying an AP story word for word and calling it your own is big trouble.

“the medical issues are a minor technical aspect of the larger picture.”

What's scary is that line isn't satire. This is the real Obama view.
Thanks John for the ping.
To: John Semmens
It is a challenge to figure out which part is satire and which part is real news. Excellent presentation of the facts and the might-as-well-be facts.

The only satirical note I detected is the name “Josh Earnest.”
