It’s bad enough that Obama rejects an Ebola travel ban because he thinks we need more Ebola, but he’s attacking Democrats and Republicans who are doing the responsible thing by enacting quarantines.
The Obama administration has been pushing the governors of New York and New Jersey to reverse their decision ordering all medical workers returning from West Africa who had contact with Ebola patients to be quarantined, an administration official said on Sunday.
But both governors, Andrew M. Cuomo of New York and Chris Christie of New Jersey, stood by their decision, saying that the federal guidelines did not go far enough.
“It’s too serious a situation to leave it to the honor system of compliance,” Cuomo said of the decision.
Ever since Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, and Mr. Christie, a Republican, announced the plan at a hastily called news conference on Friday evening, top administration officials have been speaking with Mr. Cuomo daily and have also been in touch with Mr. Christie, trying to get them to rescind the order.
But in that time, two more states – Illinois and Florida – announced that they were instituting similar policies.
A senior administration official, who did not want to be identified in order to discuss private conversations with state officials on the issue, called the decision by the governors “uncoordinated, very hurried, an immediate reaction to the New York City case that doesn’t comport with science.”
What exactly is that anonymous official’s background in science? Same as Joe Biden’s Chief of Staff/Obama’s Ebola Czar?
Quarantining people who are potentially infected doesn’t comport with science? Please tell me more, Guy Who Got This Job Because He’s the Brother in Law of a Campaign Donor.
The decision to institute a mandatory quarantine came after a New York doctor, Craig Spencer, received a diagnosis of Ebola on Thursday, having contracted the virus while working in Guinea for Doctors Without Borders. He is being treated at Bellevue Hospital Center, where his condition has worsened, an expected development as the virus replicates and spreads through his body.
But it wouldn’t be a media pile on without the usual idiot showing up to fight a travel ban.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Disease, said it was vital not to do anything that might interfere with the flow of health workers to West Africa.
“The harm is that it is totally disruptive of their life. We want them to go because they are helping us to protect America to be over there,” Dr. Fauci said on CNN.
No they’re not. They’re helping Africa. And that may be a noble thing, but it’s endangering America.
Obama doesn’t prioritize America over Africa. American leaders should.
Hey Jug Ears...even SNL is mocking you and your administration’s Ebola response!
Maybe if Ebola affects this a$$wipe personally he’ll get serious.
10th ammendment bizniches!!!

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said anyone arriving in the state after contact with Ebola victims in West African countries will be asked to stay at home for 21 days, an approach that’s more in line with federal recommendations and released after New Jersey came under fire for putting a returning nurse in quarantine.
WITH PREDJUDICE!
Gee. Now why would an enemy islamist prefer a nation infected?
Don’t worry. Panty Waist Cuomo has just revised the “quarantine” Procedures for NY.
Now the person can quarantine “at home” for 21 days with full contact with family and friends. Health workers will check their condition “twice a day”.
Why bother.
That should read :
I think that’s what Christie and Cuomo did do.
Not Perry.
I’ll be surprised if Cuomo doesn’t cave
Obola penetrates state defenses that are protecting citizens? Something is wrong with the protocols. Governors should warn citizens.
Sadly we (downunder) only get the American TV that our news deems worthy i.e. usually leftist cr*p. It seems though that Cuomo may already be backing down!
Yes
I don’t know him well. Saw him the other day sort of hiding in De Blasio’s shadow, going along with whatever he said, but putting down the Dallas team. Though it would have been disgusting to see Perry do the same with the Dallas Mayor, I don’t care what is said about NYC
On Paper, Cuomo is in charge. and should not give in to DeBlasio’s wishes on this. He is terrible.
And he is the mayor.
Than Cuomo was following Christie’s rhetoric on quarantining, and Christie did quarantine some one who was gotten to by some big time ambulance chasing lawyer
And now it seems Cuomo is cowering.
and it’s no surprise.
His father was a big personality, this guy can’t keep his family, is a big time abortion pusher and is now appearing the great wimp.
No surprise.
Sad to see someone whimp out so quick!
After the 60 min piece on Ebola, he sd just shut up
Man, what will it take
Mucosa is not snot. It is the moist bodily tissue that lines many inner parts of your body such as your nose, your mouth, your stomach, lungs, intestines, etc.
The removal of a president, for the first time in the republic's history, would be a joy to watch.
Seriously; you really believe that the heart and brain states of Prog/Lib/Communist thinking are going to turn against Obastard.
I would love to have the book on that action.
You, my good sir; have a very sick sense of humor.
heh,heh,heh.
