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. He told aides they needed to get ahead of events and demanded a more hands-on approach, particularly from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “He was not satisfied with the response,” a senior official said.

I find it hard to believe that he is surprised the unqualified political hacks he appointed are incompetent. If he is miffed about anything it is probably that the various diseases he has imported are not spreading more quickly.
What a line of crap. They meet and they talk about what it takes to make it to the Mid-term elections without too much political fallout. NOTHING ELSE.
He tells them that they are leading from behind and need to get ahead of the game, must be talking about himself.
Nothing they have tried thus far has given him the excuse to interfere with the upcoming elections. Not even the spectre of Ebola, one of the world's most feared and deadly diseases (for those infected) has shaken the American people enough to cause blood in the streets. The Race War (imho, what they were trying to get out of Fergusson) didn't happen. People haven't gone on the warpath over: EV-D68, illegal invasion, Ebola, the multitude of rip-offs, Obamacare, IS, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, or any of the other high crimes and misdemeanors of this administration--(yet). Still looking to capture the Senate, still praying for Impeachment and removal (and prosecution).
Without the excuse, he can't interfere with the election, and short of stopping it, the gravy train has come to the end of the line.
Hmmmmm. No wonder he is upset.

Anger because it is not spreading fast enough.
Just setting up the smoke screen to buffer him from one more case where he takes absolutely none of the blame....The buck can’t even find him on a map, much less stop with him.
He’s had to cancel fund raisers and golfing. Presidenting is haaaaarrrrrd...
Seething over missing a fundraiser or 18 holes.
That’s the Photo I Like!
Thanks
Exactly - He knows it would look bad to be on the course - so he is upset.
Why not resign, then ?
A fish rots from the head down.
I believe the only thing Clown Prince nobola may be “seething” about is that more US citizens haven’t been struck down by his imported viruses. The fool is a TRAITOR. Everything this degenerate hobo does is intentional.
It’s. Not their instincts; it’s their criteria. They select based on liberal tendencies and party loyalty.
Thanks for the ping!
