Only a madman would gamble with our lives…our children’s lives…and the entire American economy. Why would President Obama play “Russian Roulette” with the future of our country? It’s a gamble no sane leader would take.
The life and death issue is Ebola. The President is more concerned with political correctness (and golf) than taking common sense precautions to prevent a deadly pandemic. Why does this President not see his responsibility is to keep the odds as low as possible?
There are three simple, common sense actions any President who cared about American citizens would take:

Unlike Republicans, Democrats never turn on their own.
If every Republican was a clone of Ted Cruz, it still wouldn’t happen. Just do the math.
Wear your Mickey Mouse ears....that'll throw them off the track.
Yep. I’ts why I left my home of 45 years, Seattle, and bought a small farm in central, rural KY. It took me three years to find good paying work after I bought the place, but it was a great vacation spot in the meantime.
If things get worse, look for all the blame to be placed on the usual suspects (the GOP and Conservatives) and the cities to explode like Detroit, circa 1967.
The life and death issue is Ebola. The President is more concerned with political correctness (and golf) than taking common sense precautions to prevent a deadly pandemic. Why does this President not see his responsibility is to keep the odds as low as possible?
There are three simple, common sense actions any President who cared about American citizens would take:
#1) Ban all flights from the Ebola Zone and quarantine all travelers coming from any Ebola Zone. This is an absolute ‘no brainer’. Time is wasting. It should have been done months ago and may already be too late. Who knows how many people in America right now (or flying here tonight or tomorrow) are already infected.
#2) Secure and seal the border- NOW. Any day, any minute, illegal immigrants sick with Ebola could be walking across our border.
Worse, how easy is it for our radical Muslim enemies to send Ebola infected terrorists across the border? How simple to infect and send hundreds of “Ebola suicide terrorists” into our hospitals and children’s schools.
All our radical Jihadist enemies have to do is inject tainted Ebola blood into volunteer suicide bombers or worse, innocent children, and send them across the border. Undetectable, they walk across our Southern border showing no symptoms and surrender to U.S. border agents. Obama disperses them across the country where they sneeze or cough on their lawyers, caretakers, and classmates. It’s that easy…it’s that simple, to start a deadly Ebola Pandemic across America.
Equally disturbing, what if Ebola spreads to Mexico, Central or South America. Suddenly panic ensues and hundreds of thousands of their citizens (or even millions) run for the U.S. border looking for America’s medical system to save them, spreading Ebola like wildfire… into your home and mine.
Our border is wide open to bring death and disaster, ending America as we know it. Yet President Obama is unwilling to do a thing to secure it. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
The question is why?
#3) Return all U.S. troops from the Ebola Zone. Obama’s decision to send troops to Africa is pure madness. No good can come from sending 4000 U.S. troops into harm’s way of an invisible deadly germ.
Can you imagine the panic that will ensue if any of our troops contract Ebola? What if a ship becomes infected? Would it stay at sea while most die and until the survivors are deemed safe? Will returning planes be diverted to military bases where every soldier is a ticking time bomb that could infect friends, family, entire communities?
Mr. President, it's time to tell the truth about Ebola. It is far easier to become infected than doctors or health experts are telling us. We are told becoming infected is an extremely remote possibility. Really? An NBC cameraman got Ebola without ever touching a sick patient, or entering the room of an Ebola victim. A nurse in Dallas got Ebola while wearing heavy protective gear. Over 200 doctors and nurses in Africa are dead despite wearing protective gear, washing hands with bleach, and knowing exactly what they were dealing with. Still they are powerless to stop it.
My new book, “The Murder of the Middle Class”, focuses on economic murder. Ebola is the embodiment of this murder. An Ebola pandemic will kill thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of Americans. But separate from the human tragedy, the economic cost will overwhelm and bankrupt our country.
The cost of treating just one Ebola patient is beyond comprehension: special ambulances; isolation chambers; hazmat suits; weeks or months in the hospital; quarantines for every person that came into contact with the Ebola victim; decontamination teams for their homes; and even special handling of bodies for burial.
We’re talking about millions of dollars per Ebola patient. Multiply that times thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of victims. If Ebola gets loose in a crowded urban area, America’s economy will crumble.
Then there's the death of tourism and commerce. Restaurants, hotels, airlines, shopping centers, movie theatres, sporting events, tourism and entertainment of all kinds will be shut down. Sports seasons will be cancelled. Americans will be trapped in their homes, frightened to go outside. Commerce will grind to a halt. Jobs lost by the millions. The economic devastation will be unimaginable. America’s economy (already on the ropes) will be in ashes. The result could be total economic ruin.
Yet knowing all this, Obama does nothing. He refuses to secure the border. He sends our young military men and women into the death zone to face an invisible killer. He even purposely chooses to refuse to do something so simple and common sense as ban flights and quarantine travelers from the Ebola Zone.
Our President is putting all of our lives, our families, our economic survival, at risk. He is gambling with our children, our jobs, the future survival of America. Yet none of this has to happen.
Why take that gamble? Why risk economic suicide? Why not take all possible actions and precautions to limit the possibility of a widespread epidemic?
Is Obama criminally insane? A madman? An ignorant, delusional fool? Or is he doing this purposely to overwhelm America’s economic system? Does it matter?
By the way, as America’s first case of Ebola transmitted on U.S. soil was announced, where was Obama? Playing his 200th round of golf as president.
Any American who isn’t blind can see something is very wrong. It's time for patriots, political and military leaders to speak up. Our President is clearly reckless, irresponsible, incompetent or evil. Regardless of the reason, for the sake of our families, and our physical and economic survival, it’s time to remove Obama from office.
Now…before it’s too late. Before he gets us all killed.
It’s time someone called for a massive protest demanding his removal. Writing about it good but it doesn’t really accomplish anything.
It was time to remove Constitution-ignoring Obama from office a long time ago. The problem is that voters have failed to remove Obama guard dog Harry Reid from office, Reid undoubtedly determined to keep Obama in office regardless if the House of Representatives impeaches Obama.
It is not just this president it is the entire Dim party. They are behind O and his acts. Don’t let them off the hook.
The time to get rid of King Obama was in 2012. You got what millions of you asked for so suck it up. He is here to stay two more years. That is what the around 4 million of voters who didn’t vote wanted. The Republicans may not survive the next two but most just can’t think beyond predigests..
well, just like in Iraq, we had to take out Odai and Qusai or taking out Sadaam wouldn’t have meant much.
Can you say...Joe Biden ?
Good thinking...the Dumbo ears would make them think Obama has returned.
And absolutely NO Goofy costumes-—lest goofball Biden come to mind.
I thought someone would. I looked for it but didn’t have time to look further.
I believe it was linked here on FR but I can’t find it.
Way past time.
Ebola is the main focus of this thread, but Obama’s policies on border security, the spread of ISIS and crazy green economics are all equally troubling and dangerous.
Biden could not be much of an improvement, he seems equally incompetent and delusional.
You don’t gain anything with John Kerry in charge either.
It seems to argue for an emergency government situation, one that would have to be brought into existence by actions of the Congress after the mid-term elections. I would speculate that no prominent Democrat would be acceptable given the mess, and that perhaps somebody like Cheney might be the person to ask to head up an emergency government. At the same time, it might then be advisable to move the 2016 election to 2015 and perhaps as early as September, to allow a quick return to elected government. The people elected in 2015 would serve an extra year as things returned to normal (and it would be good to give the new administration an extra year, they would need it).
Nor would I just talk about this — action is very much required, the ebola business adds urgency, but this has gone on too long already (some would say six years too long but definitely the mistake of 2012 needs to be corrected very quickly now).
“Let’s hope we get 60 senate votes.”
Not a chance. I see no more than 53. And that’s being optimistic.
That’s because to Democrats, party is EVERYTHING. Democrats would sell all their children to slavers and their spouses and parents to ISIS for use as sex slaves if it guaranteed them an extra vote.
I’m afraid that may be the only viable solution.
No matter what happens I’m afraid our country is going to burn.
A slow burn if he is allowed to stay in office or a fast burn when Big Racism industry can’t admit the truth behind why he was removed.
I believe this is why he is sending them to ebolaville-so he will have fewer people capable and willing to haul his sorry ass out of there.
Thanks, democrats!
