Daily Mail: U.S. Surgeon General 'Missing in Action' on Ebola
Breitbart ^ | 10/12/12 | Breitbart News

Posted on 10/12/2014 4:08:32 PM PDT by Nachum

Currently the U.S. does not have a permanent surgeon general. President Barack Obama nominated Dr. Vivek Murthy to fill the spot last November after the previous surgeon general vacated the position.

Murthy's nomination has been tied up in the Senate since March amid concerns from conservative, gun rights group, the National Rifle Association, that the Harvard and Yale educated doctor would seek to implement restrictions on the Second Amendment if he were confirmed for the position.

...

Now, liberals in the media are arguing that Murthy, not [CDC Director] Frieden, should be out calming Americans and cautioning them on how they can avoid contracting the disease.

The Chicago Mob at its finest.
Can you believe there were people in 2008/2009 who actually thought Baraq was some kind of “inspirational” leader?

The Brits might be forgiven for not knowing that the position is a joke.

To the posters who took the "Joy" out of Joycelyn Elders: Just remember all the joy she brought us!

Libs seem to think a White House mouthpiece Surgeon General would be a Messiah who would succeed not like the failed one in the Oval Office.

"If Joycelyn Elders were still around, she’d suggest we all masturbate."

Most of the white hut already does anyway.

Remember to use a condom, we don't know of we are contagious or not.

Doesn’t really make any difference because he would be just another General “leading from behind”.

Joycelyn Elders is still alive and still saying boneheaded things so maybe Obama ought to tap her.

Shouldn’t the CDC be involved with communicable disease rather than gun control and global warming?

They don't seem to be doing awfully well with that communicable disease stuff. Maybe they could shift focus and try starting a Muslim Outreach Program, like NASA.

In defense of Ms. Elders, she was sufficiently inept as not to constitute an immediate danger to the republic. A foolish old woman demonstrating Peter’s wisdom of organizational advancement.

That's right. If it weren't for those !@#$ firearms, Ebola wouldn't have spread like wildfire. < / sarc >

I was just reading about Joycelyn Elders (I don’t know why Rush insisted on calling her “Jocelyn” Elders.)

She was Surgeon General for about a year. But she certainly wasn’t “missing in action.” She managed to call for “safer guns, and safer bullets.” She called for more abortions for girls in middle school and high school. She told pro-lifers to get over their “love affair with the fetus.” She had to resign when she called for grade-school kids to be taught how to masturbate.

But she certainly was never “missing in action”!

Bob Bork told how some people came up to him—an elderly couple—and said, “We are heeding your warnings.”

He said, “Thank you. I’m happy to hear that.”

She looked at him a moment, and said, “You ARE Dr. Koop, aren’t you?”

We do not need a Surgeon General — we have a president who knows it all.

And a CDC that will do his bidding...

I saw an immediate yellow flag that our Surgeon General could possibly be a foreigner with no allegiance to our country.

Oh, and a leftist Obama-lover at that. Now it is a red flag.
