Highest priority question for President Obama: What the hell is your Ebola czar doing, anyway?
After hesitation, confusion and flubs, Obama on Oct. 17 named Ron Klain to ride herd on the U.S. response to the deadly virus. The White House advertised Klain as the ultimate political and bureaucratic fixer.
All would be better, the administration promised in the throes of criticism that the President’s performance testified to governmental incompetence. Since then, hesitation and confusion still prevail, presaging flubs to come.
The latest milestones in incoherence:
Anonymous White House sources spread word that the administration is none too pleased by the quarantine orders issued by Gov. Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Christie.
Then, federal health official Dr. Anthony Fauci says on television that he “would not have recommended” mandatory quarantines for health-care workers returning from West Africa, asserting that science dictated a less restrictive policy.
Then, America, if not the world, waits and waits and waits for the Centers for Disease Control to issue protocols for dealing with Ebola health-care workers and people who travel to the U.S. after contact with someone carrying the disease.
Then, the Army quarantines the commander of U.S. Army Africa and about 10 soldiers who are returning from duty in West Africa — even though they show no symptoms and are extremely unlikely to transmit the virus if they carry it.
Just as Cuomo’s protocol directs, the Army staff will be monitored for 21 days.
Finally, the CDC issues standards for monitoring, but not isolating, people who were exposed to Ebola sufferers and do not show symptoms.
And the White House put out word that, pre-czar, Obama had seethed at his staff’s failure to take command of the Ebola response. What’s beyond seething?

Where is Dr. Nicole Lurie in all of this? She went invisible!
I wonder what the hell the old czar is doing. He has had one for years who has been funneling money from research to donors.
“I wonder what our new “Ebola czar” has been up to these days.”
drawing his new wind-fall profit - a health check from the taxpayers - big time pay for no work - Obama’s motto for all his minions.
change “health” to “healthy on previous post.
Sad thing about this is if Obamas choice for surgeon general went through, we would still be dealing with incompetence.
‘Seething’? Really?
When you are the President of the most powerful national entity in the known universe, why ‘seethe’?
What you are supposed to do is, LEAD!!!! It is for others to seethe!
