WASHINGTON — Beneath the calming reassurance that President Obama has repeatedly offered during the Ebola crisis, there is a deepening frustration, even anger, with how the government has handled key elements of the response.

Those frustrations spilled over when Mr. Obama convened his top aides in the Cabinet room after canceling his schedule on Wednesday. Medical officials were providing information that later turned out to be wrong. Guidance to local health teams was not adequate. It was not clear which Ebola patients belonged in which threat categories.

“It’s not tight,” a visibly angry Mr. Obama said of the response, according to people briefed on the meeting.

Why are they all so afraid of this pathetic shell of a man?

IRS audits?

Maybe NSA gathered info - think of Hillary's possession of FBI dossiers in the White House only magnified many times over.

The incubation period is longer than his attention span, as well as his seething time.

LOL. The NY Times repeats Zero’s private press release. “An angry president takes charge.”

It’s more like he’s pissed he had to cancel two fundraisers.

Obama appointed these people based exclusively on political correctness, ideology and cronyism, why does he suddenly expect competence?

Gee, who could have leaked this story?

I’m guessing Barry himself approved it, and that the White House wrote most of the copy.

Nixon claimed that he was not a crook.

Here Barry claims that he’s not a chump.

Their usual brainless, snarky show is not working on Mr. Ebola. He should have real public health doctors running the program but all he attracts is snark.

Our entire Bill of Rights could be summarily suspended. We all need to be duly terrified, liberals included. Of course, many of us have been terrified since he was elected in ‘08.
