It was only a matter of time.
President Obama, a short-term college professor and failed community organizer who became a mostly absentee state senator and then an all-but-invisible U.S. senator, has Petered out. Per the Peter Principle, he has risen to his level of incompetence — some would argue far beyond it.
The president — and the president alone — let Ebola into America. He could have made one phone call (even on Saturday, when playing his 200th round of golf as president) and said one sentence to protect all Americans from the usually fatal disease: “No one from West Africa gets into the country.”
Done. That single sentence would have kept Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian who had carried an Ebola sufferer back into her home after she was turned away at a hospital, out of Dallas. While he lied on an airport questionnaire about whether he had had contact with anyone suffering the disease, and while hospital workers blundered badly even though they knew he has been in Liberia, the bottom line is Duncan would not have been in America had the president banned visitors from Ebola-stricken countries. Simple.
Many African countries have instituted such bans, and most Americans think such a ban would be a good idea, according to a recent survey. But Team Obama and his band of incompetent minions argue that shutting off flights from affected countries would “harm” the economy. Absurd.

Boycott airlines that fly there.
Spot-on.
What I find interesting that nobody is addressing is that it took Ebola to stop the Puppet from going out fundraising, the cowardly imp that he is.
My $$ is on the fact that Ebola is also the only thing that will cease his neverending golf vacation as well.
Stats will tell the story in a month...
I think it is more of Obama’s quest to reform this country into a third country socialist disaster has turn deadly!
you gotta laugh. This is such a freaking absurd situation, Mel Brooks would have been tossed out of Hollywood had he scripted it for a movie.
This thing is gonna happen now regardless. Might as well get ready to meet our maker with a smile.
Agenda 21/Wildlands Project/Turtle Island/Population.
do the search folks. It’s real, it’s on the books and it has been for a long time.
I guess everyone is too scared to say he’s doing it on purpose. Reason for martial law? Personnel carriers? 5B bullets purchased? Dallas of all places? Hmm.
See post 45
Voting for someone because of skin color, and skin color alone.
Obama would eff up a lemonade stand.
LOL
I agree. The destruction is deliberate. But don’t look to our “conservative” House to do anything about it.
They funded it. We screamed and bitched and then voted them in...so they did what they wanted. they fully funded Obama’s agenda all on their own.
The Cheshire frauds haunting FR can complain all they want but that is EXACTLY what happened.
How would shutting off flights from a massively poor country harm our economy?
I'll have $100 on "new dim voters" Alex
with a follow up on "Cheap labor"
Alex, I’ll take “Reduced DNC donations” for $1000
Because he was being honest. It would hurt the DNC economy. He never said Americas.
Incompetence? I think not.
This was Obola’s dream - his “Mission Accomplished”.
I know.
It is “Theater of the absurd”.
And the RINO lovers can’t get enough of it.
He couldn’t run a brothel let alone do anything worthwhile while inside it.
Oh I think they are about to.
Last night and today there are several threads with cheshire types siding with the Dem positions on Ebola/contagion. So soon enough nature will take it’s course, Darwin trophies will be delivered to any surviving next of kin and as a whole the country gains IQ points.
Yeah, saw a few idiots insisting that Ebola is magically less lethal outside of Africa.
Yup and saying we are all hysterical.
If its so non issue, why do containment facilities exist with sealed vault like rooms within sealed vaultlike rooms?
And WTF happened to the average intelligence level at FR where thinking like a democrat is now ‘open’?
I have a feeling there may be no need for a tax strike. People may be so freaked out in four months that workers will not show up for work ( including IRS workers) for fear of the guy next to them having Ebola. Workers who work in crowded rooms, in hospitals, post offices, plumbing or waste trades, air terminals, aircraft, restaurant, banks, etc. may also figure it is not worth it. The only hope is that the virus mutates and burns out or a vaccine pops up. Plus of coarse closing the borders.
