After Golfing, Obama Holds Late Ebola Meeting - Guess Who Missed It (Again)!

Given the pressure to act and apparent urgency to calm the public over the Ebola pandemic, it is likely no surprise to hear that President Obama decided to play a quick round of golf (for 5 hours) Saturday morning before arranging a late evening meeting convening "members of his national security and public health teams to update him on the response to the domestic Ebola cases," according to The Daily News. "The meeting concluded with a discussion of broader steps to increase the preparedness of our health sector nationwide," which one would imagine the newly appointed Ebola Czar would be directing - think again!

The full list of everyone who attended, according to the White House, is:

• The Vice President
• Chuck Hagel, Secretary of Defense
• Sylvia Burwell, Secretary of Health and Human Services
• Jeh Johnson, Secretary of Homeland Security
• Denis McDonough, Chief of Staff
• Shaun Donovan, Director of the Office of Management and Budget
• Susan Rice, National Security Advisor
• Neil Eggleston, Counselor to the President
• Antony Blinken, Deputy National Security Advisor
• Lisa Monaco, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism
• Thomas Frieden, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
• Katie Beirne Fallon, Director of the Office of Legislative Affairs
• Benjamin Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting
• Jennifer Palmieri, Director of Communications
• Anita Decker Breckenridge, Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations
• Suzanne George, Executive Secretary and Chief of Staff of the National Security Council
• Rand Beers, Deputy Assistant to the President for Homeland Security
• Brian Egan, Deputy Counsel to the President
• Colin Kahl, National Security Advisor to the Vice President

Ron Klain, who was appointed Ebola Czar on Friday by Obama, is not on this list... and this is the second meeting in as many days that the man in charge of 'implementing a solution'.

Sooo Klain isn’t on the list and that’s really really bad. But did I just miss Obama’s name or is that a given?

[jazusamo]

Perhaps Ron Klain was in a golf playoff and was excused by 0bamabam.

[willibeaux]

Where was Valjar?

[Secret Agent Man]

an average reasonable person would see the same cavalier sh1t like this day after day and realize at best they don’t care about ebola, and worst case they want it to occur unabated.

[Billthedrill]

Klein only tells the lies, he does not make up the lies. BTT

[The Free Engineer]

So it seems that Klain is like the blue shirt guy beaming down with Kirk and Spock.

Just a bit player who has willfully accepted his duty to get the electorate to and past the election at whence time he will be be given the opportunity to examine the undercarriage of the presidential bus.

[Dr. Thorne]

Barack Hussein Obama (or whatever his name is), the 44th president of the United States of America, is a radical Muslim jihadi who is pursuing jihad through his executive power.

[Insigne123]

If nominated, I will not run, if elected, I will not serve

[Mannaggia l'America]

Dr. Klain is in the lab working on his Ebola vaccine...

[jimbo123]

Jarrett has been MIA for 2 weeks.

[TigerClaws]

Some b.s. cover story was that Klain’s “paperwork” hadn’t yet been processed. That’s why he missed two meetings now.

[dandiegirl]

Klain is there to make sure all the lies stay straight and fit together properly.

[right way right]

A a trap is being set for the GOP.

The MSM will blame republicans for criticizing Obama on his choice for this czar BS, therefore, they will be “pro Ebola”

Just watch.

[Lou L]

Yes, the President can un-Constitionally name some “czar” to an alleged national position with (presumably) powers to enact policies toward public health, but God forbid that advisor actually do any work until his paperwork is processed! This administration has high standards for proper procedure!

[lapsus calami]

 

 

Meetings generate documentation like minutes, memos and such. Klain is going to be engaging in the sort of skullduggery that is best kept off the record. Besides his job is a singular one, handling legal and image issues that could impact the Regime's agenda in a negative way.

 

 

[Slyfox]

I have a feeling that many responsible people are not going to wait around for Obama to get his act together.

[depressed in 06]

Why does Obola’s name not show on the list?

I guess a meeting would be too taxing on the One after golf.

[tumblindice]

‘Klain, barada, nikto’
OK, the world is now safe from the Ebola Deadites,
assuming I pronounced the words exactly the right way.

Probably in Iran visiting family.
