It’s bad enough that Obama rejects an Ebola travel ban because he thinks we need more Ebola, but he’s attacking Democrats and Republicans who are doing the responsible thing by enacting quarantines.
The Obama administration has been pushing the governors of New York and New Jersey to reverse their decision ordering all medical workers returning from West Africa who had contact with Ebola patients to be quarantined, an administration official said on Sunday.
But both governors, Andrew M. Cuomo of New York and Chris Christie of New Jersey, stood by their decision, saying that the federal guidelines did not go far enough.
“It’s too serious a situation to leave it to the honor system of compliance,” Cuomo said of the decision.
Ever since Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, and Mr. Christie, a Republican, announced the plan at a hastily called news conference on Friday evening, top administration officials have been speaking with Mr. Cuomo daily and have also been in touch with Mr. Christie, trying to get them to rescind the order.
But in that time, two more states – Illinois and Florida – announced that they were instituting similar policies.
A senior administration official, who did not want to be identified in order to discuss private conversations with state officials on the issue, called the decision by the governors “uncoordinated, very hurried, an immediate reaction to the New York City case that doesn’t comport with science.”
What exactly is that anonymous official’s background in science? Same as Joe Biden’s Chief of Staff/Obama’s Ebola Czar?
Quarantining people who are potentially infected doesn’t comport with science? Please tell me more, Guy Who Got This Job Because He’s the Brother in Law of a Campaign Donor.
The decision to institute a mandatory quarantine came after a New York doctor, Craig Spencer, received a diagnosis of Ebola on Thursday, having contracted the virus while working in Guinea for Doctors Without Borders. He is being treated at Bellevue Hospital Center, where his condition has worsened, an expected development as the virus replicates and spreads through his body.
But it wouldn’t be a media pile on without the usual idiot showing up to fight a travel ban.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Disease, said it was vital not to do anything that might interfere with the flow of health workers to West Africa.
“The harm is that it is totally disruptive of their life. We want them to go because they are helping us to protect America to be over there,” Dr. Fauci said on CNN.
No they’re not. They’re helping Africa. And that may be a noble thing, but it’s endangering America.
Obama doesn’t prioritize America over Africa. American leaders should.
Dear Mr. pResident,
Go fvck yourself.
Some states are run by governors who are Republicans. The regime can’t have that.
Clown Prince nobola hates you and your family. Your death or your family’s death means nothing to this psychopath. These anti-Free-America idiots’ families are safe in their protected compounds.
I hope the governors tole Obola to go pound sand, but I know how likely those boot lickers were to stand up for the states they are supposed to serve and protect.
Coumo, is already caving.
can’t we just have him arrested as an enemy of the state and working to the detriment of the American people?
serious question
Ebola was/is his chance to “fundamentally change America”.
Like it or not many do not his plan to fundamentally change our republic.
But we have a few more weeks to go, and his plan to use Ebola as a is fading.
Wonder what he has up his sleeve yet? Obola will never stop while he has his powers with the Senate left before the election.
He’s right you know. Undocumented viruses like Ebola deserve a chance to flourish and succeed here, just like other native diseases. Besides, Ebola’s a lot of work, turning out to be a real drag and it’s dangerous for federal workers to be cooped up too long.
Also, the Center for Disease Proliferation is looking forward to going back to fighting Big Gulp sodas and to ensuring that Meals Rejected by Ethiopians are made standard lunchtime fare for our grade schoolers.
The guy is as predictable as the sun rising. He’s a radical Muslim and an enemy of the United States so anything that harms the US he going to make damn sure it continues. Ebola is getting into the country and quarantines prevent that
We have covered this countless times.
President Obola cannot have disease control on his watch!
I think King Obama is begging NY and NJ to turn completely against him. I am certain those senators will end up denouncing Obama and this will likely mean a push towards impeachment.
No way could anyone come up with a more effective strategy for creating a situation that would result in infighting among the Democrats or a more effective way of turning the whole of NY and NJ completely against Obama.
Biden is that you?
“He’s right you know. Undocumented viruses like Ebola deserve a chance to flourish and succeed here, just like other native diseases.”
Yeah! Just THINK of all the shovel ready jobs!
He’s a radical Muslim and an enemy of the United States. Once you understand that, everything he does makes perfect sense. This is what Democrats put in the Whitehouse and Congress is doing absolutely nothing about it even though they know damn well what he’s all about.
WTFRNOOB
And once again the Republicans are nowhere to be seen!
F-ing cowards!
I am still amazed by the people here who still don't get it. Obama doesn't give a good crap about capitalism. His objective is the absolute destruction of AMERICA and AMERICANS. And he is being very successful so far.
It’s so obvious what his motives are, he’s insane, he needs to be removed ASAP!!!!!
