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.

Great, just great: a freaking lawyer and supreme political hack to handle possibly the worst health crisis in this nation since the 1918-1919 flu pandemic. I’d normally laugh at this, but somehow I can’t wrap my mind around this equation:
(Galaxy-Class Stupidity + Malignant Narcissist In Charge + Extreme Political Correctness + Ebola Zaire) = funny
Nah, I just don’t get it - maybe someone can explain it to me.
Oh, and I’m a lawyer - and I think that the very worst thing to do is appoint a lawyer to oversee a health matter.

Obama relies on so-called czars just to get around having to nominate and confirm cabinet positions. That's how he gets his fellow travelers in control of the government.

With this news I'm going to start planning my exit from this insane nation. The outcome of the next two election cycles will determine if I act on that plan, but I'm just not going to live in the midst of this absolute madness.
And, yes, there are certainly places that will be more sane.

No medical experience, but he has worked with pestilances such as Gore and Biden.

And what reason would we have to believe that Dr. Lurie would be any better? Frieden is a politically corrected imbecile, and she probably is also, if she is an Obama voter.
Feckless cretins all.

One thing that reasonable people can all agree on is that the most important qualification for the Ebola Czar is a demonstrated history of Democratic party loyalty.
Wait, wut?

Great, another incompetent political hack.

Isn't this why we have a Public Health Service headed up by the Surgeon General?
To: McGruff
Lurie got caught funneling CDC funds to an Obama supporter so has been disappeared by the administration.
