This should garner lots of votes for the Democrats.

In his justification of the administration continuing to allow flights, Earnest argued that because people carrying Ebola don't have symptoms when they get on planes, there isn't a need to limit travel.

Did he really say this? This statement makes no sense whatsoever. If someone is in the incubation period of the infection when they boarded a plane, they could be a symptomatic but still become infectious in the near future. It's a reason for restricted travel, not allowing it.

What am I missing here? Are all these people imbeciles?

[grumpygresh]

Well, let’s arrange a tour of the White House for some sick Liberians.
FUBO. Hell is too good a place for the POS.

How about using Air Force One for mercy flights?

It takes a special kind of STUPID to come up with that "reasoning."

[dragnet2]

Since the White House sees no problem, perhaps the White House should invite all newly arriving people from Ebola infected African states to the White House or Congress for tours. To show Americans there is little risk.

Maybe a photo op of President Obola going to Dulles International in D.C. to shake the hands with the newly arriving just to show everyone there is nothing to worry about.

Earnest argued that because people carrying Ebola don't have symptoms when they get on planes, there isn't a need to limit travel.

...That is exactly the reason why it should be limited/banned! If you don't know who might have the disease, you don't allow anyone! Their logic is completely backwards.

[coloradan]

Of course not. A society that doesn’t have any people spreading ebola on the streets isn’t very diverse. And diversity is good. We should embrace their differences, celebrate their varying states of health (and contagion).

[HandyDandy]

Earnest said Ebola will be handled through “rigorously applying medical procedures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control.”

That is the funniest thing I have heard all day. Who do you suppose tells the CDC what their recommendations are to be?

If obama refuses to protect americans from disease, he is guilty of conducting biological warfare upon them.

Think about this...

This is the third world's version of the Neutron Bomb.

Remember the Neutron Bomb during Jimmy Carter's administration?

That was the bomb that was supposed to kill all the people, but leave the buildings and infrastructure in place.

So somebody tell me, how is Ebola any different? With a 70% mortality rate and a 10 day infectious period where nobody knows that they have it?

And Obama doesn't want to stop it from coming here?

That guy in Dallas knew he had been exposed and yet he carried his biological bomb into this country.

[GOPJ]

Yeah, we suspended flights to Israel because one missile came close to the airport... but we can’t suspend flights to and from Africa? Gimme a break...
