"President Barack Obama last week addressing Ebola-stricken countries in West Africa,... told residents they 'cannot get [Ebola] through casual contact like sitting next to someone on a bus.'
" 'Yes, CDC vetted the message, and, yes, we believe it’s accurate,' [CDC Director Thomas] Frieden responded.
" 'I think there are two different parts of that equation,' he continued. 'The first is, if you’re a member of the traveling public and are healthy, should you be worried that you might have gotten it by sitting next to someone? And the answer is no.'
" 'Second, if you are sick and you may have Ebola, should you get on a bus? And the answer to that is also no. You might become ill, you might have a problem that exposes someone around you,' he said."
“Thomas Frieden is the Joe Biden of the Centers for Disease Confusion. “
This fiasco proves we have no opposition party. Before the winds of Katrina died down the Democrats and the mainstream media were denouncing Michael Brown, head of FEMA. Within three days Brown had resigned, despite Bush praising him profusely for doing a great job the day before the firing. Then the Democrat attacks shifted to Bush who played defense the rest of his administration. The Republicans lost the House in the 2006 midterm election that followed Katrina and then were wiped out in the debacle of 2008.
If they are afraid to attack Obama directly, Frieden’s incompetence makes him the perfect proxy. Boehner and McConnell should be demanding Frieden’s resignation after today’s news of the second Ebola health care worker being allowed to fly on a commercial airliner by the CDC. Where is the GOP? Silent as usual.
Ebola is the October surprise. It can be Obama’s Katrina if the Republicans will pick up the ball and run. Instead they are playing to hold tight and let the clock run out while the unions, community organizers, and local corrupt Democrat politicians are working to drag every wino to the polls, help the dementia patients in nursing homes fill out their absentee ballots, not to mention churning out every illegal alien they can drag to the polls for same day, no voter ID registration.
This should be a wave election. If the Republicans were demanding the firing of Frieden, closing of the border, and mandatory 21 day isolation for everyone exposed the American people would stand up, cheer, and flock to the polls to vote GOP. If a Republican president was in power, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi would be walking in front of the White House, with media in tow, demanding the president do his job.
Rahm Emmanuel spoke of not letting a crisis go to waste. Haven’t any of these Republican leaders or consultants read Alinsky?
It seems as though Karl Rove and the other “strategists” are doing everything they can to convince me not to hold my nose and vote for the incompetent party.
” ‘I think there are two different parts of that equation,’ he continued. ‘The first is, if you’re a member of the traveling public and are healthy, should you be worried that you might have gotten it by sitting next to someone? And the answer is no.’
” ‘Second, if you are sick and you may have Ebola, should you get on a bus? And the answer to that is also no. You might become ill, you might have a problem that exposes someone around you,’ he said.”
You know, “Planet of the Apes” was right, we are going to kill ourselves off and the monkeys will rule the world since they are immune to this disease of modern, hyper - stupid civilization.
