How Do Democrats Avoid Political Ownership of the Ebola Crisis? (VANITY)
self

Posted on 10/03/2014 9:51:50 PM PDT by TigerClaws

The Administration says it's very unlikely Ebola will ever make it to the United States. It does.

They say they have it under control. We see in Dallas the family found out on the news about the infected man and CDC has told them nothing. This the same day a press conference from the Administration assures us they have everything under control.

How does Obama avoid complete political ownership of this catastrophe?

I've heard now Van Jones trying to blame budget cuts or sequestration, But that won't fly.

These are policy decisions: Keep open borders and no travel restrictions during a pandemic. (

It's not like we can tell where these folks are from. I mean, they don't have a document they are required to carry that tells us every country they've been in called a "passport" do they?)

Bush was blamed for some water bottles not being parachuted into the Superdome. It was all his fault - as was everything, according to Democrats, for years to come and now.

But how does Obama escape the responsibility for the American bodies that are sure to start piling up directly the result of his incompetence?

Or, worse, is this planned chaos?

Will the Democrats get blamed?

Oh yes, and the media, who sold us on these wimps, won’t be able to change the conclusions being drawn.

Fear, and make no mistake, fear is the operative emotion here, concentrates the mind. Ebola evokes fear. Beheadings evoke fear. Obama’s inability to deal in a manly way with both gives the people an easy decision to make.

Americans are beheaded, everyone wants a response that has a retributive, punitive flavor-we want them dead-and the girly-man gives us no satisfaction.

Obama won’t stop the flights from Africa. What?

Obama, the Democratic Party, and liberalism itself will be blamed for this and, to the extent the media jumps in to defend them all, the media will get blamed too.

The paradigm has changed. Fear trumps all. Next up? Anger.

Ebola drives future Liberal voters to the USA.

the first arrivals or at the very least their children will vote for liberal politicians.

as long as they can control the media portrayal, my prediction is that almost no Democrat will do anything at all to impede the flow of scared Africans flying from Africa and seeking refuge in the USA.

basically this is Africanized repeat of the Central Americans kid invasion,

we are contending with an EV 68 invasion from the south and an Ebola invasion from the east and both of those invasions have long-term electoral consequences.

Most of these people will be in the first die off so it’s all O.K. If you live on food stamps, section 8, free medical and everything else free do you really believe these people will survive Ebola? As for the southern border jumpers they will head home fast once this gets cooking.

They don’t if we keep tying Ebola to Obama. Ebola to Amnesty. Ebola to Immigration. Ebola to Illegal Aliens. Ebola to Border Security... etc...

Saw on FOX news last night (don’t remember which show) that 3,500 people have arrived from Ebola affected areas of Africa on direct flights in the last few weeks.

This meas that obama is intentionally allowing the risk of ebola spreading here.

When ever he makes global statements, such as the risk of ebola is low for the United States, he is telegraphing his diabolical hopes because everything he says is a lie.

They can tap dance all they want, but average people know that Obama owns it. He still has not stopped flights from the African nations, nor restricted visas. His lack of action has allowed Ebola into the US and there is no getting away from that.

Ted Cruz has already called on the FAA to stop flights from these nations. They will look like fools if they push that argument.

Found it - on Megyn Kelly’s show last night:

“Right now over the Atlantic, a fully loaded Delta 767 – Flight 479 – is coming from Liberia to land at JFK tomorrow morning. It’s been happening every day for a month while this crisis has melted down and they haven’t done a single thing about it.”

Former Department of Justice attorney J Christian Adams told Megyn Kelly tonight that President Obama could merely “write a paragraph” to halt air travel into the United States from Ebola-plagued countries.

Holy crap! A planeload every day.

Obama is out of his friggin’ mind!

Does he think that, if an epidemic gets going, he, his family, or his staff will be immune?

Is he going to stop shaking hands when he campaigns?

He is managing this the same way he made sure illegal immigrants were shipped all over the country - working in the shadows.

Obama can be blamed for the Enterovirus 68 (previously rare in U.S.) epidemic sweeping the country putting our little children in danger. No doubt this was brought into our county through illegal Central American immigrants who were not properly medically screened for disease.

Maybe he sees himself as a martyr working for the greater “good”, as he sees it: Fundamentally Transforming the United States of America.
