Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama will appoint Ron Klain his "Ebola czar," knowledgeable sources tell CNN. The president on Thursday signaled his openness to the idea to have one individual coordinating the entire federal response to any threat of an outbreak in the United States. "It may make sense for us to have one person ... so that after this initial surge of activity, we can have a more regular process just to make sure that we're crossing all the T's and dotting all the I's going forward," Obama said.

Lawyer/party loyalist, not a doctor.
So what are the medical qualifications of the first Ebolagate Czar besides being a PrRat.
Surely he’s not this stupid. Appointing someone who BEGS to be ridiculed.
Translation: Obama names a future fall guy when the SHTF.
Ron Klain? HAhhahahahahhhahahhaha! What’s he going to do? Sit on the virus?
Obama looked high and low but was unable to find anyone less qualified to handle a medical emergency.
“Czar’s” are utterly ridiculous. Every one all throughout our latter Republic has been nothing but a PR stunt.
What crap.
I guess the thinking is that if you can be president with zero qualifications, what the heck. Who needs to be qualified?
Ah, what happened to the Ebola Czar we already have - and her department of workers?
“...What’s particularly interesting about this discussion, then, is that nobody has even discussed the fact that the federal government not ten years ago created and funded a brand new office in the Health and Human Services Department specifically to coordinate preparation for and response to public health threats like Ebola. The woman who heads that office, and reports directly to the HHS secretary, has been mysteriously invisible from the public handling of this threat. And she’s still on the job even though three years ago she was embroiled in a huge scandal of funneling a major stream of funding to a company with ties to a Democratic donor—and away from a company that was developing a treatment now being used on Ebola patients....”

I seriously just love how our idiot president’s first impulse in dealing with this potential crisis is to set someone up to blame in case things go to hell.
Lest there be any doubt that Obola is the most incompetent imbecile ever elected to the presidency...
One of those high paying shovel ready jobs he was talking about.
A lawyer and political operative? Geezzzzzz........ Unreal.
man can this guy do anything that is not laced with politics? Disgusting...add another layer of incompetence on top of other layers of incompetence. I want to see the top Marine Corps Medical officer take over the CDC...that would fix it for me...
zero just keeps up the politics, usually to a disastrous end, and, makes our prez as an extreme FOOL!
“Gergen said that while Klain doesn’t have a health care background, he does have both domestic policy and foreign policy assignments on his portfolio...”
A non-medical person...
Just wow.
Crossing all the T’s. What a joke. How about crossing one T? How about just remove Obama from office and let the Congress get this thing under control.
All Gore’ COS and Clinton/Kerry debate prepper.
Another useless political hack who will draw a paycheck at taxpayer expense, but do nothing.
