The people have had enough.

Have all the polls you want, until youre blue in the face. Nothing will happen in a positive direction until Mr I have a Pen & Phone decides to move. I wouldnt hold my breath on that one. He has his priorities and they arent Ebola.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Wow, even 60% of Democrats support restrictions on travel from these countries. Obama is out of touch with all but his most radical base.

Racism!

Slavery!

How dare we!

“Europe and neighboring countries to the Ebola crisis in Africa have implemented flight restrictions and some have shut down borders”

RACIST!!!!

[The Toll]

No one cares what American’s want.

Where is Mr. Duncan’s family? Are they ill? How do we now have two infected Medical Workers and no news on his families condition?

[Tennessee Nana]

all 3 of my congress critters claim this wont work ..

a staff member of Congressman Scott Desjarlais (TN-4)(a doctor) said that Desjarlais said it would not work since the flights were not direct..

HULLO ??? Scott ???

a ban starting back in the West African country of origin would help a whole lot..

Ijit..

Senators Alexander and Corker were not any better..

Alexander is up for reelection this time..

In TN early voting started today..

Thomas Eric Duncan was the first to bring back the disease from Africa

Mygan Kelly reamed the CDC director last night about why we haven’t closed our border to people from Ebola ravaged areas. His explanation was pure BS and made no sense. The reason we haven’t closed our border for Ebola is that it would raise some tough questions about Obama’s open border policies.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Obama will not impose flight restrictions...

They have to get as many potential carriers in the US while they can. After a month or so, none of this will even matter any more.

This is just common sense. I can’t believe our government did not restrict travel to our country from people who have been in West Africa.
Travel restrictions will eventually happen, it is just a matter of time. When this this starts to spread all over they will have no choice. Lets hope we can minimize the death toll before our government gets their head out of their asses

This mantra that flight restrictions would make things worse is not plausible. Ebola has a incubation period lasting 21 days... Anybody flying from any of the afflicted countries should be tested for a minimum of 25 days before they are allowed to exit the borders, whether by air or land. That would have been the proper quarantine time, but the cat is out of the bag now and they’ve hemmed and hawed too long to reverse themselves. They’re like a child who refuses to admit that they are wrong, even thought they know they are.

[Cubs Fan]

yet only 26 politicians came forward and supported the idea.

Only 26 out of hundreds of our “respresentatives” have bothered to represent the opinion of a clear majority of the electorate.

What happened to representative democracy?

hen a wildfire breaks out we don't fence it off. We go in to extinguish it before one of the random sparks sets off another outbreak somewhere else.

Sometimes. Or, if the fire's already too big to just throw water on, you create something called a firebreak. You build a wall to prevent the wildfire from crossing.

[I want the USA back]

0bama won’t stop flights. Will the public realize that 0 is acting against their interest?
