Scarborough: Obama's Self-Righteous Quarantine Hypocrisy 'A Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker Moment'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

You really have to watch the clip of President Obama strutting his self-righteous anger at states that are imposing Ebola quarantines. I, Barack thunders that such quarantines reflect a lack of leadership, and "that's not who I am." Thanks, sir, for letting us know what a strong leader you are.

On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough scalded President Obama's self-righteous hypocrisy. Mockingly quoting the President, Scarborough said "'This is America. And we do things differently.' Unless it's Barack Obama's overseeing the military." Where of course a quarantine is being imposed on soldiers returning from Ebola hot zones. In the unkindest cut, Scarborough cast Obama's hypocrisy as "a Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker moment." Ouch.

Video clip shows Obama at his sickening, self-righteous worst. Too much even for Scarborough. Ping to Today show list.

Obama is an authoritarian boss, not a leader. He’s never inspired me or made me proud of him as our president. Even Clinton made me proud a time or two, Obama never. Inspiration is what true leaders do, apparently Obama doesn’t get that. Arrogance, having a fit when you don’t get your way, hypocrisy, self-righteousness, destroy any possibility of inspiration.

Are those lab coats the same props they brought out for the ACA stunt a few years ago.

I’m curious how the Army intends to quarantine these returning soldiers.

They can’t just confine them to barracks. That would endanger the soldiers who do not have Ebola, unnecessarily spreading the disease.

To properly quarantine, each soldier must be kept in individual isolation. That’s a lot of isolation for several hundred troops.

We should have implemented the following 3-4 months ago:

MY PLAN TO ISOLATE THE EBOLA CRISIS IN WEST AFRICA:

1. Any U.S. citizen working in West Africa (in any way) in any of the striken countries should have a mandatory 21-day quarantine imposed on them at a clean facility at the airport in that nation. Then, when they clear that, they should be flown back to the United States on specially chartered aircraft that bring only US citizens back who are shown to be virus free.

2. All travel on commercial flights and shipping from those nations to the U.S. should be halted until the crisis is past.

3. No new travel visas for the U.S. should be approved or given to any individual from any of those nations until the crisis is past.

4. No current travel visa holders from any of those nations who are seeking to come to the U.S. should be allowed to do so. They should be stopped at those air ports and ports and informed thaat they cannot travel to the U.S. until the crisis is past.
