How in the world would Gov. Perry be to blame?

I went to the CNN to copy and paste their comments to give you their iname responses to the contagion in Texas, but all comments seem to have disappeared.

I read the comments in reverse chronology. I wonder if people with logic began to chime in.

But basically they they think Perry is incompetent and blameworthy for not supporting Obamacare. Self-sufficient Texans, to them, are now proven they need big government to intervene. They also seem to muse a lot about how can the right still accuse BO for this crisis, when none of this is his fault!

He acts as if there is a "downside" to that strategy in controlling a potential pandemic.

Obola could halt all airlines to and from infected countries and make exception for US military flights and medical emergency personnel and supplies. He just will not do it....he wants America to worry and suffer.

The Ebola fiasco diminishes CDC, the White House, and Obama. He hopes to prove America is not special so he is, perhaps unconsciously, making things happen that make America look impotent and ineffective.

You are completely correct.

Yes, some of the concerns seem to border on tinfoil hat paranoia, but when the fatality rate of Ebola among the infected is over 50%, all measures to stop the the spread of the disease must be considered.

The problems with things like Ebola is that they grow exponentially. Even if Ebola grows slowly to start with, unfortunately, we ain’t seen nuttin yet. Just wait until flu and norovirus season hits to see what a completely paralyzed nation that battens down the barricades REALLY looks like as millions have symptoms that are much like how Ebola starts off!

The trenches of our medical system are woefully unprepared for something like this. And thank you, President Obola for your “fundamental transformation” when flu season hits!

Oh, and PLEASE let’s keep those West African shuttles flying back and forth, since obviously it would do no good anyway with your open borders policy. Oh, and everyone? Be sure to vote a straight Democrat ticket in November: they really DO care about you folks, ya’ll hear? After all:

“Now, I am not on the ballot this fall,” Obama stressed. “... But make no mistake: My policies are on the ballot — every single one of them.” (Including unrestricted West African air flights.)

People see what they choose to see, I guess.

Thanks for the report.

Obama gave them an October Surprise that they never expected.

This is an Open Borders/Treason Lobby issue.

And that means the Establishment of both parties.

So this Cassidy’s argument is: Ebola is not a problem because there are many other ways to die. Letting Ebola into the country is not an objectionable policy because there are many other ways to die. As you lie dying of Ebola, you can give thanks that you didn’t die in a car crash.

“In this country, Ebola isn’t yet a huge public-health threat. But it’s fast becoming a political nightmare.”

Two highly positive developments!

Repulsive.
Reminds me of a careless remark of a newscaster years ago:
“A mother and her 5 year old daugther were killed today when their car struck an abutment, tearing the vehicle in half and spoiling the commute.”

That should be a Boeing 777, not a fence.

No, it is a political issue. Obama cares more about open borders than stopping the spread of deadly diseases like Ebola & enterovirus 68. I am shocked that someone who has been here 3 days would not realize this.

Obama is driving this nightmare for Democrats.

The reality is that he has only one thing on his mind and that is to prepare us for his marxist paradise.

He doesn't care about our safety.

When Obama uses the word "change" he is referring to us changing to go along with his will.

He will not "change" his mind.

“they don’t see this as a democratic “optics: problem.’

Brokaw on NBC this morning, “I don’t see how anyone could blame the president for this.”

I guess this moron forgot Katrina???

My two most pressing concerns.

1. Obama sent 3,000 soldiers to west Africa, with even experienced nurses and doctors contracting Ebola, I pray that our soldiers don’t get Ebola in the heartland of its worst presence. If they do likely someone will be positive before election day, and of course Obama hushes up any crisis like the IRS, and Benghazi before elections.

2. An Ebola case found in one of our tourist centers such as Orlando Fl. or Las Vegas. Both large Cities, and almost completely tourism dependent. The economic disaster this would be would spread to the airlines, and billions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs within weeks.

Obama really messed this one up. Instead of quarantine in Liberia etc. for 21 days before allowing people to board a plane, Obama is playing Russian Roulette with people’s lives.
