Obama to Africans: Don’t touch Ebola corpses
The Hill ^ | September 3, 2014 | Justin Sink

Posted on 09/03/2014 6:13:11 AM PDT by Zakeet

President Obama urged West Africans in areas affected by the Ebola virus not to touch the corpses of loved ones who had succumbed to the deadly disease in a public service announcement released by the State Department on Tuesday.

"When burying someone who has died from this terrible disease, it's important to not directly touch their body," Obama says. "You can respect your traditions and honor your loved ones without risking the lives of the living."

"If you feel sick with a high fever, you should get help right away," Obama said.

"Yet, the man can’t / won’t tell foreign invaders they better not come to America illegally."

That's because he is making them legal so they will be authorized invaders.

And actually, that is the exact WRONG way to get the ketchup out.

Obama never gets anything right, does he?

I actually thought this was pretty good, and I am the biggest Obama critic I know. It was simple, one point only, and a direct instruction. I’m assuming Frieden helped him select the one simple sentence that will do the most to stop this plague.

He’s NOT black-skinned

Okay - He's got thin, chocolate brown, mocha colored skin and a black heart...

Just imagine if he showed that much concern for the well being of Americans.

Not likely to help.

I realized years ago, when reading about AIDS transmission in Africa, that they cannot be helped.

They are told not to engage in anal sex, yet they continue. They are told to use the free condoms they are given, yet they don’t. They witness people dying of AIDS continually around them, yet they make no connection to the behavior they are told causes it and to those deaths.

Why would Ebola be any different? Ebola is not likely to be a pandemic outside of Africa, but in Africa it could be.

Health advice from Obama, and self defense advice from Biden:

Did he also advise them on how to wipe their rear ends?*

How would the world survive without “experts” like Obama telling everyone what to do and what not to do?

*Given his upbringing, his advice would likely involve the use of the left hand.
