Obama choreographed hug with Ebola victim

President Obama is usually “not interested in photo ops,” but apparently he made an exception for Friday’s good news that Nina Pham, the first Dallas nurse who contracted Ebola, is now virus-free.

Mr. Obama and Ms. Pham shared an embrace in the Oval Office, certainly a reassuring image for Ebola-panicked Americans.

But according to still photographers on the scene, his hug with Ms. Pham was staged.

This is going to sound silly, but there is a grain of truth to it; Marburg needs a scarier name before Americans pay much attention to it. The word or surname Marburg sounds serene and comforting, like a silouette of The Marlboro Man on a horse. The disease; not so much. We need something with a sharp vowel sound or with a strong almost deliberate dissonance to it. Lyme disease is quick and punchy, The Flu, has a long U, Diarrhea has the long E-E, Tapeworm has the long A, plus it paints a picture.

Exactly - had I more computer savvy I would put together a little Youtube bit with the video of one of Hitler’s speeches and the audio of Obama speaking, or the other way ‘round, or maybe both.......

Ditto!

This is as phony as a three dollar bill.

You missed the point.

It is impossible for this woman to have had Ebola, and recovered sufficiently for this stinking fraudulent photo-op.

Never mind, go back to sleep.

So how was this woman cured sufficiently to safely hug the Kenyan in cheap in less than a week?

Wake up!
