"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Thomas Frieden began his grilling Thursday on Capitol Hill with a stark admission that his agency is still searching for ways to combat the Ebola virus as it burrows into the United States.
Two members of Congress are calling for his resignation, and the White House began the torturous process of throwing him under the disease-control bus on Thursday afternoon, saying that Frieden is 'taking responsibility' for his agency's screwups.
'We're always open to ideas for what we can do to keep Americans safe,' Frieden said in his opening statement, departing from his prepared remarks in the face of a hostile and impatient panel in a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee.
'We would consider any options to better protect Americans,' he said later during a Q&A period."

Nobody resigns in this administration. Holder did but he’s still there and I don’t see him departing any time soon.

Nothing ever changes for the good, that is.
Thank you White House media. They don’t call you that for nothing.

When we elect a clown to the Presidency who has choosen a clown for his Vice President, why should we be surprised when he appoints clowns to head key government agencies?
Apoligies to real clowns who would have better managed the country these past 6 years.

What's the budget of the CDC, and where was it spent?
Obviously not on keeping this county prepared and protected from invasive diseases...

This Obama acolyte understands that an infected person can remain asymptomatic for up to four weeks yet he wishes to allow West Africans to freely enter the United States. He behaves like a modern day Lysenko. He is more interested in deploying the one world/ no borders ideology of Obama rather than protecting the health and well being of Americans.

This man was Bloomberg’s health advisor who came up with the Big Gulp ban. And Obama, proving once again that no nanny-stater is too stupid to be employed in his administration, made him chief of the CDC. We can see the familiar failure of another Leftist who couldn’t find his butt with both hands being exposed as a total incompetent in a critical situation.

This is what happens when the government of the formerly greatest nation on earth is run by ignorant, arrogant COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS.

Not just community organizers, but complete airheads.
It’s THEIR job to figure these things out, not ours. We’re supposed to be allowed to go about our daily lives with the belief that our officials are doing their job, which is to look after our country’s safety.

'We're always open to ideas for what we can do to keep Americans safe,' Frieden said.... Excuse me, dumbass, but YOUR agency is the place where those ideas are supposed to originate.

This is why universities are jokes; this man likely has multiple degrees and honors, but has graduated a complete moron.
