In making the appointment, Obama will effectively bypass another official, Dr. Nicole Lurie, who has served as assistant secretary for preparedness and response (ASPR) at the Department of Health and Human Services since July 2009.

ARREST OBAMA FOR TREASON. This is SO obvious, it stinks.
Congress, nearly a decade ago, created that post, which would seem to fit the bill for Ebola coordinator -- at least on paper.

Growing calls?
Perhaps by ValJAr, but that's about it.
Never confuse motion with action.....

Obama's reaction to anything - another government agency.
How about a travel ban, numbn*ts? It will be a million times more useful than your friggen "Czar" and won't cost the taxpayer a thing.

Of course.
Who else would we expect this blithering shithead to elevate.
Doesn’t matter anyway, our government is useless in all regards.

Great selection! Surround yourself with incompetent friends and bypass everyone who might have a clue on how to address the problem. You, Sir, are the dumbest President this Republic has ever seen and people are dying on your watch.

Political tactics to address an infectious disease outbreak.
The Oministration is not trying to stop the ebola outbreak, they are only concerned about the political fall-out from it.

I guess Pres. No Brains forgot he already has an Ebola Czar..of course misusing research funds (per redstate.com) might be a reason to forget about her (and let her keep doing it since it benefited a Democrat(s) )

Let us never forget that Klain is the one who “eased up” the regulations on Fannie Mae in the early 00s and is also the one who gave final signatory approval to the Solynra loans. Oh and of course he has ZERO healthcare background,,..,. Just when I think the administration can’t sink any lower, it always does.
To: McGruff
liberal hack Ron Klain.. good one Obama
