Barack Obama, Oct 9:

Speaking in a video message to residents of West African countries currently experiencing outbreaks of Ebola, President Barack Obama dispensed advice on how residents can avoid the disease, including:

“You cannot get it through casual contact like sitting next to someone on a bus.”

OOPS....

Were I a young parent, I would not know what to do, except that I would know not to believe these two. And so, would be on my own.

Hard to keep up with the timeline on this...Jenkins is on about 12 days past exposure to the family. Is that remotely close?

“Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins”

isn’t this the goofball who went into the contaminated apartment and then drove the family to a house in a gated community?
