Speaking from the White House Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest dodged questions about why flights from countries with Ebola outbreaks are still being accepted to the United States. He did not detail any future plans to stop flights from those countries, or to track connections through Europe to those countries, despite the first case of Ebola showing up in the U.S. after a Liberian man went to a funeral in West Africa and then returned home to Dallas.
In his justification of the administration continuing to allow flights, Earnest argued that because people carrying Ebola don't have symptoms when they get on planes, there isn't a need to limit travel.
Earnest said Ebola will be handled through "rigorously applying medical procedures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control."
Everything is under control...
FLASHBACK: U.S. Bans Flights to Israel http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/22/travel/israel-flights-suspended/
That prince of darkness hates this country.
“Protect America? Pffft!”
The stupid... it hurts!
Ad agencies right now are stockpiling this footage. Perfect for anti-D ads in all 57 states.
Playing with the lives of Americans is rarely rewarded at the polls.
Only flights to Israel should be banned.
If King O’Bozo bans Ebola flights into the US how do you expect him to finish his promise to transform us?
That would offend his head chopping child sex slaving moose brothers!
My understanding is he is from Liberia.
He was "visiting" here in Dallas."
Right / wrong?
.
I think we should seat the prince in coach and have him tell the same tale(of lies).
Hey Obama, our forefathers built Ellis Island and used it for a very good reason. They had common sense and our nations best interest in mind. QUARANTINE is one of the most effective tools in preventing the spread of diseases from reaching an epidemic level. Nah, you want to spread it around. Here Airborne you need some. You folk in Texas need some too. What? Me, ask Obama? Oh no I’m exempt. Contact with me is limited. /sarcasm
But you know the Republicans won’t use them.
Obama’s so desperate to damage this country , he’s like a jihadist strapping on a vest.
Credible reporting is that he “bugged out” after one of his roommates in a dwelling where he rented a room for several years, died of ebola on or about 9/15.
Supposedly, he had also suddenly quit his job at a shipping support company on Sept 4.
Several other people associated with the dead woman were diagnosed with ebola.
Medical tourism?
Even Jack Ryan knew enough to implement travel restrictions in an Ebola outbreak.
And he was a fictional president.
If Obama’s wrong - and this disease spreads easier than he thinks - millions of Americans could die for nothing.
Can he really be that dense?? Oh, wait. Never mind.
I had to check to make sure that this wasn’t satire...
