Amid Assurances on Ebola, Obama Is Said to Seethe
NYT ^ | 10/17/2014 | MICHAEL D. SHEAR and MARK LANDLER

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 unclear 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.

Heh-heh.

This is The Puppet's 'Katrina moment'.

Let it burn. I hope it leaves a mark on all that blamed one man for largess (that's SARC) of government. Not defending GW...just pointing out the hypocrisy of these sycophants.

They've sent the military into harms way with no assurances of protection, blamed medical staff for their exposure and cannot accept responsibility for ANYTHING.

To every lib that supports the status quo as it existed last month: Suck it.

Maybe he’ll walk off-camera and kick a door.

That would be a tenacious optic!

It would show a lot of inherent resolve!

God help us.

It’s not tight? Open borders generally aren’t, you stupid, half-witted jackass.

NYT: "Obama is said to be seething at how government handled the Ebola crisis".

You can't make this stuff up.

The only thing he’s seething about is that he’s screwed up and the media is reporting it.

To adapt FlingWingFlyer’s tagline a bit and give Zero more to seethe about,

“Barack Obama, honorary chairman of Viruses without Borders, said...”

“It’s not tight.”

Are we sure he was talking about the response to ebola?

It is just the NYTimes covering for him, trying to make him look like he cares. He doesn’t. He arrogantly tries to “calm fears” like we are all too stupid to know how to act.

Put it in perspective he says. People die from viruses all the time. So do not worry that you will get the 10-days-until-death-by internal-bleeding-virus. No big deal. You might also get the flu.

Pres__ent Obola is upset as he expedites visas for Obola patients to come to the U.S. for treatment while deploying our troops to Africa in an effort to infect the military?

Screw you, Obola.

He was also reportedly angry about the IRS targeting citizens, the VA failures, Wall Street investors, the Oil rig that exploded...and then everything is ok. On to the next item, or fund raiser, or golf game.

“It’s not tight”

Was he talking to Reggie Love?

Seriously though, “its not tight”? Is Obama the leader of the free world or a jazz trio?
