(CNSNews.com) - On Saturday--one day after a bus that had departed from the Pentagon was quarantined on Capitol Hill in an Ebola false alarm--President Barack Obama issued a video message to Americans telling them that "you cannot get it [Ebola] from just riding on a plane or a bus."
Ebola is actually a difficult disease to catch. It's not transmitted through the air like the flu," Obama said in his weekly video message. "You cannot get it from just riding on a plane or a bus."
But on Friday, a bus was quarantined on Virginia Avenue, SE, in the Capitol Hill area of Washington, D.C.--in what turned out to be an Ebola false alarm.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
because she’s tooo big ?
this is great, then the plans Donald Trump has to offer a FREE Round trip travel to Washington DC to take a tour of the White House and the Capitol for persons that can demonstrate with their passport that they were in West Africa recently won’t bother anyone right?
Well I guess Obama can work cleaning Busses in Monrovia after his presidency then.
[pause for laughter which doesn't come]
I mean, they'll tell you that people are dying of ebola back in Africa! It's not true. It's not true. Maybe when George Bush was president, but I just checked, and everything's fine."
Can you get ebola on a golf course?

Obviously not or he would have been dead long ago...
I teach 7th grade. Many days I shake my head in dismay and think (in the words of Red from That 70s Show), “You DUMBSH*T.”
So Obama is telling people to do things that may get them infected. Great. What a class act. The sooner he’s gone, the better.
can’t get it on a plane or bus? Of course you can. They say Ebola can live on surfaces for a few hours. All it takes is a sneeze or any droplets to be on a surface and then you happen to touch it before the Ebola virus dies. Buses involve people getting on and off more frequently so I would think they are especially dangerous. Planes — not so much unless you happen to sit next to them and/or it is transmitted through the air.
Bottom line —these people are guessing and don’t know.
Obola should shut his mouth on this and let his czar Klain do the talking.
That's the thing. It may be.
Sounds like his VP is rubbing off on him.
A Freeper in the field of contagious diseases said “stay out of the taxis” in liberia (I don’t think they have buses) but the taxis were being used to take people to the hospital.
I thought this was an interesting read. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-10-20/ebola-sareptas-promising-experimental-drug-goes-overlooked?campaign_id=yhoo
Did he borrow that head gear from John Kerry?

He responds with such common sense and leaves Candy speechless, just eager to go to another question.
Ted Cruz is presidential material.
