NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – President Barack Obama has canceled a trip to New Jersey and Connecticut and will instead hold a meeting about Ebola at the White House.

“The president’s travel today to New Jersey and Connecticut has been postponed,” the president’s Press Secretary said in a statement. “Late this afternoon, the president will convene a meeting at the White House of cabinet agencies coordinating the government’s response to the Ebola outbreak.”

Unbelievable but true. This is intentional.

[MeshugeMikey]

Given the enormous complexity of the job it may well be beyond my scope of expertise

thank you

[Yaelle]

I know. My rueful laugh was from that element of truth.

But this must be pretty big to stop a fundraiser.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Awwwwwwwwwww how nice of him to take time off from golfing and pimping for Commies to pretend to give a rats ass about Ebola..he is the one that allowed this to happen

[Robert A Cook PE]

Nah. The only thing that will attract HIS attention to Obala will be the introduction of Obala into his gay and lesbian communities in NYC, West Hollywood, Washington DC, San Francisco, and Rahm’s Chicago.

[reagandemocrat]

Nice work.

Ebola is “Above my paygrade”

[Norm Lenhart]

People can deny it, but intentional fits the facts in evidence.

They are socialists. Socialists are a polite term for Communists. Communists already killed millions with a smile.

Is IS happening.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Obama rides to the rescue...!

[Norm Lenhart]

He will just fundraise off the need for Dems to address the problem. Give the libs a day or so. Thats the pattern.

[plain talk]

Or another one would be to show Obama giving a press conference behind the podium or in oval office decked ouit in hazmat telling us that everything is under control and we have nothing to fear from ebola if these nurses will just follow federal protocols. Or Obama on golf course in hazmat gear. Possibilities are endless.

[SpaceBar]

But this must be pretty big to stop a fundraiser.

Tomorrow he'll attend two fundraisers to make up for it.

[DoughtyOne]

Not factual, simply a fictional scenario made up from what has been taking place over the last week or so.

Meanwile back at the CDC...

Phone room:

CDC, how may I direct your call?  No sir, we don't have our heads...
CDC, how may I direct your call?  No madam, we are not all idiots!
CDC, how may I cirect your call?  No sir, we don't need third graders from Obola Elementary to help run things better.
CDC, how may I direct your call?  No madam, we don't actually come in contact with Ebola patients, so that's not likely to happen.

Phone tree:

Behind the platform:  [There'e bedlam, people running in every direction, one pool of border-line sanity in the midst of it.  Let's listen.]

Unknown voice one: OMG there's another one in Dallas
Unknown voice two: Oh C....., that means our protocol didn't work again
Unknown voice one: This one flew on a domestic airline exposing a lot of homeland folks
Unknown voice two: Call Katie in spin control and get her to work on this one.
Unknown voice three: There's an airliner headed this way with seven people who appear to be showing symptioms
Unknown voice two: Okay, make sure a team is dispatched at once.  Seal that section of the airport.  We'll need to isolate the seven, plus the rest of the passengers for 21 days.
Unknown voice three: Where will be put them?  I'll get ......... to work on that in a few minutes
Unkonwn voice four: Sir, there are 12 new suspected cases off three aircraft at JFK...
Unkonwn voice three: Perhaps we should call the White House and let them know.
Unknown voice two: He told us yesterday shut up and do our work, and to quit bothering him.  We wanted to inform him a patient had died and he said he was on the golf course.

On the platform:  [Three people, one of which will speak, the other two there to provide smiles and nods as appropriate.]

Good afternnone ladies and gentlemen.  We just wanted to give you a few updates.  We have one new case of suspected Ebola in Dallas now.
As we understand it, this person flew domestically yesterday.  We will be contacting the airlines and other passengers shortly.
Other than that, we have everything under control.  Our techniques are being evaluated and improved upon daily.
The general population is in no danger.  We've got the situation under control.  Rest assured, you families are safe.

Press:

We have learned that there are...

Thank you for coming.  That is all...

“”Yeah, poor ambassador Stevens and the other brave Benghazi victims””

Not to change the subject but everyone needs to read Kenneth Timmerman’s latest book - “Dark Forces, The Truth About What Happened in Benghazi.” I swear you will not be able to put it down. Reads like a Vince Flynn or Brad Thor thriller. Everyone and every country involved in that disaster was so crooked and deceitful. What our own state department has gotten away with SO FAR is nothing short of criminal. I pray that Trey Gowdy and others on his investigating committee will have read the book and find facts that have eluded them so far. This administration is laughing behind our backs at what they have pulled off. We are in bed with every wretched country in the middle east who had a part of what was happening in Libya and we are seeing the fruits of their labors in Syria and Iraq. This includes the efforts of this current dirty, rotten administration in DC.

A warning - you may be up all night reading. I was! I was still awake when the school bus went by at 6:30 a.m.

[Mears]

Well aren’t you the clever one.

The sad thing is that there is much truth in it.

He said he wanted the flights stopped the first day. Look at the transcript, Candy...

Even that is too hopeful. Yes, it’s just for show.

[DoughtyOne]

Afraid so, and if attitudes don’t change, this is going to pale in relation to reality.

[NYRepublican72]

It’s raining in the NYC area. Canceling golf would be easy.

Their optics look terrible right now.

[Fido969]

Okay, now Obama is focusing all of his attention on this disease. Focusing like a laser beam.

"No one cares more about [fill in the blank] than Obama."

“”It is so scary for me to think about what is being done to and left for children.””

Isn’t that the truth? I’m thankful I was born when I was and will not have to see the time when this monster’s agenda is fulfilled. We all have children and grandchildren who are our biggest worry. What’s the matter that people don’t see that? What is there for liberals when there is no more United States? I received a great email yesterday with a service by a rabbi in GA for the Jewish holy days. It is excellent. I don’t know if it would be permissible to post it but I would be glad to. Hits every nail on the head!

I told my husband this morning that most of us have gone through our 40, 50, 60, 70+ years without ever feeling such animosity toward one person until this lout came along. I print articles from the internet for him and I’ll have to stop as he becomes so frustrated. I try to tell him that’s the way everyone feels but it doesn’t help.

I started keeping binders full of great articles for my 5 year old grandson about what is being done to this country under this creature but have almost decided I should recycle the paper and call a halt to it as I expect that some day if he was found to be in possession of them - say, at college age, they would be considered subversive material.

I want to say how did we get here? But after all my years here on earth, I know how. I just don’t understand why!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Don’t look for him to make a statement until after the markets close.

If he does, and he is his usual feckless self, they’ll be down 30% within minutes.
