Amid Assurances on Ebola, Obama Is Said to Seethe
New York Times ^ | October 17, 2014 | MICHAEL D. SHEAR and MARK LANDLER

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.

The real reason he is upset is because the crises is causing him to miss a few golf rounds.

This article is noting more than political cover from an ally.

This is what happens when a completely incompetent executive appoints a bunch of people who are a lot less competent than him.

But in reality he’s just pi$$ed because he had to cancel his golf outing.

He phones in everything. Struts around like a big shot while other people scramble to get the work done.

Then he complains when his own incompetence is reflected in the failings of his administration.

But what can we expect from a guy who stole ice cream when employed at Baskin Robbins and gave it to his friends for free.

It's not golf he's upset about missing, it's passing amnesty to illegal alien democrat voters.

Obama has squandered all credibility for himself and everyone in his employ.

Then he gets mad when nobody believes him or his co-conspirators?

Or is he mad because everyone he hired is as incompetent as himself? AS DISHONEST AS HE, HIMSELF, HAS ESTABLISHED AS THE STANDARD?

OR, IS HE JUST WHINING BECAUSE HE WAS CAUGHT WITH HIS PANTS DOWN?

This is the ol’ “the president is angrier than we’ve ever seen him” meme.

The real blame goes to Obama himself since he did NOT ban people from West Africa from traveling to the USA. If Duncan had NOT come to the USA because of such a travel ban, 2 nurses who today have Ebola would be perfectly healthy and there would not have been an upheaval in the Dallas hospital nor an outbreak of fear here.

LOL, no kidding, this sure undercuts any talk about immigration and open borders, and anything foreign.

“This article is noting more than political cover from an ally.”

I would have labeled it “creative writing”, but your description is more to the point.

Obama Is Said to Seethe

BS, propaganda to deceive the masses that this is none of his fault, and he is right on top of things. Reality: borders have to stay open to finish the socialist takeover and if that requires some of the masses die — so be it.
