A toxic president
The New York Post ^ | October 19, 2014 | Michael Goodwin

Chalk it up to karma, fate or bad luck. Whatever you call it, the Ebola scare is proof that Bad Things Happen to Bad Presidents.

The morphing of what is a single case into near panic is, according to medical experts, unwarranted. They point out that, so far, one person from Liberia died in a Texas hospital and two nurses who treated him got sick. Period, end of panic.

In rational and medical terms, they may be right. But their calculations omit another factor. It’s the X factor.

In this case, X stands for trust.

President Obama has spent six years squandering it, and the administration’s confusion, contradictions and mistakes on Ebola fit the pattern. This is how he rolls.

Don’t worry, there’s no chance of an outbreak, they said. Then it was, Oops, we must rethink all procedures for handling cases. Then there was no worry about a “wide” outbreak, yet quarantines for lots of people.

The irrational fear of an alien pathogen is fueled by rational suspicion of an incompetent and dishonest government....

“President Obama has spent six years squandering it, and the administration’s confusion, contradictions and mistakes on Ebola fit the pattern. This is how he rolls.”

X factor? It was predicted with sold proof of just how
untrustworthy the Obama was with the way he won elections
in his rise to power. He squandered nothing because he
had nothing to begin with. This, every bit of it, is the
fault of a squeamish spineless republican party. Everything
from low-balling investigations of his criminal staff to
intentionally saying or doing nothing while knowing all
along what the Obama was doing to it’s base with the IRS.

He squandered nothing. The republicans did.

“Now granted, unwarranted panic is never good and can be a hell of a manipulative tool.”

Especially for a president who is probably sitting on the
cure.

“Whatever you call it, the Ebola scare is proof that Bad Things Happen to Bad Presidents. “

No one ever doubted it. What was wondered over and over was How long can ignorance on the part of common Americans and a protective Liberal press carry the fool?

We’re getting our answer now.

"Overwhelm the system into collapse..."


President Obama is eager to see desperate and low-information Americans clamoring for Big GovernmentTM to come "help" them more.

I am convinced that the media is not reporting on all the cases of Ebola in the States. What happened to Duncan’s family? Hanging out with the race baiters, then NOTHING. Watch for Ebola cases popping up after November.

There are literally dozens of cruise ships going out every day. Carnival however, should have chartered a helicopter off the ship for the two guests, and refunded all the passengers. But they likely won’t. Royal Caribbean however will send their CEO , pay for everyone’s flights, and give a full refund when stuff like this happens.

The founders gave us a remedy for bad presidents that we rarely use.

Obama utterly failed in his most basic responsibility, to keep America safe. He is the Chief Executive in charge. Ebola was a known threat. His policies allowed it to come to the US. Obama cannot hide behind congress, or behind some bureaucrat. Obama owns this miserable failure. May his soul burn in hell.

There were dupes who believed the hype and there are a bunch who still believe the hype and there are dozens of political con-persons in office, in media, who promote the hype and the lies.

Independent thinkers, who looked at Obama starting in 2007 and 2008 had no trust in the guy. And Rush, representing the independent thinkers said "I hope he fails", even before Obama's immaculation and idiotic inaugural speech.

“I guess we'll get our border fence after all”

Trust in obama. The Kenyan has taken us to the point where the Mexicans are probably considering building an impregnable fence to keep disease ridden Americans out.

The irrational fear of an alien pathogen is fueled by rational suspicion of an incompetent and dishonest government….

The rational concern about a virus of the biosafety level 4 category is fueled by a history of lies and coverups from this deceptive administration.

The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal.

If you like your healthcare…

Not allowing a travel from those countries infected with the Ebola plague, Obama runs the risk of having the blood of any people who die from people flying with the disease.
I think he is driven from his own Prejudices and believes America and Americans deserve to be infected.

It isn’t karma, fate or bad luck more like a plan.
