West Africa's Ebola outbreak is out of control but it can be stopped, World Health Organization chief Margaret Chan said on Friday.

"This outbreak is moving faster than our efforts to control it," Chan told the presidents of Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast at a meeting in Guinea's capital Conakry.

"If the situation continues to deteriorate, the consequences can be catastrophic in terms of lost lives but also severe socioeconomic disruption and a high risk of spread to other countries," she said, according to a WHO transcript.

To infect our country, cuz it’s “not fair” that “black countries” are the only ones being infected.

So Hussein's solution, devised by his staff of "Best and Brightest" Morons, is to bring them here.

Yikes! I don’t know how they get people to work for the Border Patrol. Those people are brave and the Obama administration is crapping all over them.

I'd much prefer a natural disaster like Ebola to a man-made disaster like Ubama.

The nice thing about a natural disaster is that it is equal-opportunity, meaning it might even get Ubama.

Is that not insanity? Or, rather, diabolical?

It is flying into Dobbins ARB in Marietta, northwest of Atlanta. from there it is about 25 miles on VERY crowded freeways to Emory University Hospital.

I guess the last time the devil (Hussein) came down to Georgia, he decided that we would be the FIRST HOT ZONE in America.
