President Barack Obama said on Monday his administration was working on additional protocols for screening airplane passengers to identify people who might have Ebola and would step up efforts to make medical professionals aware of what to do if they encounter a case.

Obama made the disclosure after meeting top administration officials involved in attempting to prevent an outbreak of Ebola in the United States.

After a series of missteps involving the handling of a man who arrived in Dallas from Liberia with Ebola, Obama said "we have learned lessons in terms of what happened in Dallas."

Just doing something to make it look like he is doing something. The something they should be doing would be to shutdown flights from W. African countries with this outbreak. But that wouldn't allow Preezy Ebola to fly the sickness into this country, along with more illegal aliens. Can't stop the Cloward-Piven Express, now, can we?

Years later people will wring their hands in lament over the horrible cards dealt to obola

With all this on his plate in addition to the mess left behind by Bush the younger is it any wonder he did not achieve the dizzying success he so richly deserved

That’s probably going to be taught to the children

Sigh

So Barry, when can Americans expect these “Ebola screening protocols”? Six months? A year? Two years?

They know beyond a shadow of a doubt that yes, Americans are really that stupid.

After all, most of them voted these assclowns into office.

You’ve been selected for further TSA screening with a rectal thermometer would make anyone’s temperature rise.

BOHICA—is it just me or is everything appearing to be insane these days . . .

As usual no plan, no strategy. Just empty gestures.

The mainstream media will continue to commit journalistic suicide to protect him from his failures. So long as he is not held accountable, failure is an option.

Too soon to sing, “We are the world?”

Not at all. Should be followed with "I'd like to teach the world to sing."

Have a Coke and a smile.
