Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., said Saturday that while he "hate[s] to invoke the term 'czar,'" President Obama needs one to combat the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.
"One of the big backdrops of this is a national defense issue of germ pandemic and drone warfare," Kingston told the Washington Examiner.
The congressman said the United States needs a "George Mitchell type character" to lead "one central office that's a clearinghouse" to unify the efforts of government entities like the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Why do we need a czar for something that will never make it to our shores and isn’t that catchy in the first place?
Wait til one of Obola’s kids or family starts hacking and wheezing. The rules will change then..
Thing is, Obama is likely to give him that position, after all he is running out of people to BLAME and this one is Prime being a Republican
The solution is simple. Stop the incoming of any non-citizens. Quarantine any incoming citizens who have been to countries where Ebola is identified as a crisis.
The Congress should pass this by overwhelming majorities and order the executive branch to begin enforcing this law immediately.
The halting of incoming non-citizens could be passed...the quarantine idea might not fly.
But we don't need a new czar. We need the federal government to protect the borders. Part of that is, I would think, being CERTAIN any non-citizen entering is free of disease.
Just what the Bamster needs - another Muzlim, commie, radical Czar.
How about asking the person whose responsibility it actually is to do his or her job?
That is the problem. Some are saying Governor Perry. Some are saying President Obama. Some are saying Congress because they have yet to confirm the CDC person that has not been in office since 2009. Some are saying the Mayors of the Cities. Some are saying the Hospital Administrators. Some are saying Congress because they cut 10 million from the Center of Disease and Control Department and not enough money to accomplish such task. Some are saying Homeland Security due to not stoping them at the airport. So much blame but nobody has an accurate answer to who is responsible.

Cute. We do not have a Surgeon General. The position has been blocked and not voted on in Congress, but you knew that. That is one reason why this is a mess. Not that I am all the concerned about this but it really doesn’t look good on Congress.
I would rather see Governors and Mayors and department heads evaluated.
This is what he wants you to believe, yes.
Congress does not have to rubber stamp every idiot Obama appoints. That’s why many require approval. It’s up to Obama to put forth an acceptable, qualified candidate.
There are plenty of existing other bureaucrats who could be charged with this role, despite that.
And Obama always chooses the best person for the job - if a far-Left boot-licker is the best one, he finds that person.

That’s a real knee slapper!
Funny, I thought the exact same thing, then I realized it entirely depends on their job description...
Since most of the job descriptions in this administration seem to be either:
1. CYA Obama
2. Destroy the pillars of the country.
I'm going with whoever is responsible will be getting a nice bonus...!
Thanks for the ping!
YES. We need a person in charge of PROTECTING AMERICANS from Ebola. Anthony Fauci’s not up to that job.
An Ebola czar??? Ooooo, scary!
Combined PING! and DANG!
