Are we the only ones who are wondering whether the next high-level resignation from the Obama administration ought to be the director of the Centers for Disease Control over the issue of ebola? Dr. Thos. Frieden, at every turn in his appearances — yesterday, when he went before the cameras for the first time about the Texas case, and since — has seemed determined to understate the problem where he should be sounding an alarm. Afterward his first broadcast, Americans had to turn to the Drudge Report to find out just how serious this threat is and what was happening at Dallas, where the first case of ebola in America had just been confirmed.
It’s an ironical situation. We have never been a fan of the Centers for Disease Control. It is a fiercely left-wing institution that is trying to infect the entire nation with nanny-statism. It sticks its nose into everything. Why are centers for “disease control” pontificating on motor vehicle safety? Are cars some sort of infection? What’s its mandate in “adult seat-belt use”? Or “child injuries” or “teen pregnancy” to name but a few of the issues that that it pontificates on but that aren’t diseases. Yet just when we need CDC to jump in and take the lead, it offers bland assurances that we will stop this disease in its tracks.

Ebola is Obama’s way to punish America for killing 90 percent of the Indians with European diseases.
This may be the “African disease” that Americans don’t have resistance to. They don’t know, or do they?
the idiots put out for media consumption saying that banning anyone from the nations with ebola is a bad idea ought to be taken out , horse whipped, and then sent to those nations. Good lord the first rule of epidemics to ISOLATION
The people of the CDC should lead by example... they should ALL go to Africa for a month and ‘help out’. We know they’d be safe.../s
Frieden changed his tune. A few weeks ago he was very vociferous in warning us about the dangers of Ebola. Now that it has come to the USA...Hey! Relax. No problem. And don’t worry about passengers from Ebola stricken nations arriving here.
What happened to that idiotic Dallas judge who walked into the Ebola apartment in ordinary clothes and NO protection? Has he been put in quarantine?
Or you could always use Mark Harmon:
Gibbs: McGee, I want every passenger from every manifest for every flight from Liberia for the past three weeks.
McGee: Boss, that’s over 40,000 people!
Gibbs: [Gives McGee a pointed look]
He’s the County Judge, which is actually Texanese for county executive.
Their motives are known they are still trying to figure out how to blame everything on GW or the Tea Party or Conservatives
TT
Can't wait to see how they spin that stupid Judge and then the all the folks that have been exposed because of him. Political Correctness is now Weaponized
Thanks for the ping!
You’re Welcome, Alamo-Girl!
Good for you and your family. There is still hope.
The point is this. The ONLY reason for the Center for Disease Control to exist has to do with the Federal Government’s interstate commerce jurisdiction.
It is just like the National Weather Service.
So when they are faced with something that seems to be beyond their control.. they are now just punting! and hoping for the best.
I am hoping that the State governments will seal the borders.
