Ron Klain is a great choice for Ebola czar (hemorrhagic hurl alert)

Something I learned during the first two years of the Obama administration, when the staff infighting was at its worst: if you wanted to get somebody to say something nice, ask them about Ron Klain.

Klain entered the administration as Vice President Joe Biden's chief of staff. This was, itself, notable: Klain has been chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore, too, making him the only person to serve in that position for two different vice presidents.

But the esteem for Klain wasn't based on his resume. Rather, he had a mix of policy, political and bureaucratic chops that everyone agreed was rare. The policy people spoke admiringly of his policy savvy, and they all agreed he lapped them in political instincts. The political people admired his political instincts, but recognized he was better at policy. And everyone agreed Klain knew how to run an interagency process.

No need for Med School. Having served under Al Gore and Obama just naturally qualifies him as a world league epidemiologist with intuitive public health policy skills. /s

This is a perfect choice for Obama if he cares about his image instead of the American People.
Note too that Klain will not report to the President but Susan Rice and Lisa Monaco. Once again giving Obama plausible deniability. Par for the course.

It would have been tempting for the Obama administration to nominate an Ebola czar who sounded good: someone with a long list of medical credentials to her name, or someone with a reassuring public profile. But the federal government has plenty of skilled epidemiologists, and this position needs to do more than look good on the Sunday talk shows.

What's next; a Doctor to be Attorney General? - Tom

Ezra Klein typical ass kissing Lefitst twit. Not yet thirty, knows all.

Ron Klain is a HACK! Pure and simple. We are now paying him out of the public till for no reason what-so-ever except as pay back for his hackery.

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought I had that job wrapped up.
Maybe I will be named the new AG or
Head of CDC.

After all my background as a Morse Code Copier, Asphalt Coordinator and Delivery Driver (though I was owner/operator so probably disqualifies me) should make me a perfect fit for a Medical Profession or LEO job.

These clowns are taking their cue from the old WWII ‘jokes’ of the draftees going in and one saying
‘I was an auto mechanic’
Good, you’re a Medic,
‘I was a chef’
Good, you’re a Machine Gun Repairman,
‘I cleaned toilets and pumped sewage and sludge’
Good, you’re an Officer
etc etc etc

I guess i bertter contribute to the ‘tar, feather, and rail fund’, for we have just been given one more moron to accomodate in this fashion!!!

[RoosterRedux]

Obama's not concerned about fixing the problem. He's concerned only about the politics of the problem.

Obama knows only 2 things...politics and race.

[lavaroise]

yippee.. Never let a crisis go to waste. A great opportunity to be paid well to be an idiot playing doctor leader.

I have more trust in the mafia front manager and front owner of the next local Chinese restaurant.

First thing he should do is visit the slums of Western Africa and have tea with the sick

Ron Klain and his Ministry of Health. Remember `Nineteen Eightyfour’? They actually did the opposite of what their names suggested: The Ministry of Truth falsified and hid the truth. The Ministry of Love tortured and killed opponents.

Ron Klain is like Eric Holder or Darrell Issa.
His job is to serve as Barry’s hammer. Period.
He won’t address the problems of predator diseases. He isn’t expected to do anything like that.
Notice that he didn’t even show yesterday for the initial czar meeting of this latest “We’ll throw money at it and call it good, and the GOP won’t do squat” gimmick?

Klain’s job will be to attack anyone who attempts to effectively address the Entero virus and the Ebola plague.

Recall the failure of law enforcement and Holder, and Obama’s repeated violations of law and Issa. It’s something like that.

In other words, Klain’s mortal enemies will be anyone who actually wants the problem resolved and wants our borders closed to disease vectors.
And Boehner, McConnell, McCain—and all the other usual suspects—will wail, moan and complain:
“Ohhhhhh, ooooohhhh! If only there was something we could do ... “.

Here’s a thought boys: Why don’t you call/email your GOPee offices and complain?
The Demobicans’ war on the American middle class continues unabated.

Ezra Klein is a Democrat HACK.......Klain is a community organizer for the Democrats.
