Ebola is here. Can this clusterfuck 'president' do ANYTHING right???

[neverbend]

What is the downside of banning entrance to the US from the Ebola countries inhabitants. Frankly I see only benefits, Why is Obama balking at an idea so rational. I just read on Drudge that the US embassies in Ebola stricken countries are stiil processing visas to non-US
citizens. That's an impeachable act.

 

[neverbend]

In addition to Ebola is the new virus Enterovirus 68 infecting youngsters. How could that happen. We know exactly why our kids are getting sick…as in its just another little bit of ‘anything but happiness’ from our borders NOT being secured…period.

'it seems that soon after the deluge of pint-sized criminals crossed ILLEGALLY into our country because of those unsecured borders…and with them still coming but to a somewhat lesser degree…our kids started to get sick…very very sick. And it has been well documented that many of those pint-sized criminals were sick when they crossed with what ‘they’ tried to pass off as NOTHING but mere ‘sniffles.’ But isn’t it more than a bit coincidental that ‘suddenly’ an extremely rare respiratory virus started hitting our kids…hitting them hard all across the country…hitting them in the very states where Barack HUSSEIN Obama dumped these thousands of pint-size criminals. And our kids are getting sick because they have NO immunities to something they have NEVER been exposed to before.'

The US has gotten a recent double -dose of Obama incompetence!

It says a lot about Obama that during a public health crisis he hires a political hack instead of a public health expert.

Note: this Dem piece of crap is going to report to Susan Rice, not the President.

LMFAO

 

[akphidelt]

This quote sums up this administration: "The response was marred by incompetency and ineffective bureaucracy"

That can be applied to everything from Benghazi to Ebola, from IRS to EPA. Big gov exposed for what it is.

Also 9/11, Iraq, Katrina, financial crises, etc. Maybe humans make mistakes. I know someone as perfect as you can't comprehend that.

 

[ScottL]

He should have picked Dr. Oz.

A two-term president still acting like a candidate.

I comprehend much more than you. I can connect the dots, you cannot. Perfect lol. You bring up Katrina lol. Anyone at this point and time of Obama's "reign" that does not comprehend that Big Gov is an accident looking for a place to happen simply will never get it. Obama and his administration is the epitome of Big Gov. His mishandling of this Ebola situation spotlights how incompetent and ineffective he and his administration are. They don't get it and either do you. An Ebola Czar with no medical or health background who is nothing but a political hack just like you. Keep on apologizing it defines you. Katrina, you have to be kidding. The sheep remain loyal no matter what.

Report: Obama Planning to Bring Ebola-infected Foreigners to US for Treatment

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahba...ected-foreigners-to-us-for-treatment-n1906958

Despite mounting pressure from lawmakers and the public, President Obama on Saturday said that he would not cave on the issue of imposing travel bans on West African nations.

“We can’t just cut ourselves off from West Africa,” he said in his weekly radio address. “Trying to seal off an entire region of the world—if that were even possible, could actually make the situation worse.”

If that were true, then why has nearly every African nation—plus a number of other countries (and airlines) around the world—imposed a ban or significant restrictions on the Ebola-stricken countries in West Africa? It’s simple:quarantines work. As Ann Coulter noted in her column this week, “It’s becoming increasingly clear that this is just another platform for Obama to demonstrate that we are citizens of the world.”

Indeed. Our commander in chief has even sent thousands of U.S. troops with only four hours of training to West Africa to combat the virus. The safety and security of Americans has clearly taken a backseat to wellbeing of those overseas.

And if all this weren’t enough, a conservative watchdog group is out with ashocking new report that claims the administration is looking to bring Ebola-infected foreigners to the U.S. for treatment. Yes, you read that correctly.

Judicial Watch has learned that the Obama administration is actively formulating plans to admit Ebola-infected non-U.S. citizens into the United States for treatment. Specifically, the goal of the administration is to bring Ebola patients into the United States for treatment within the first days of diagnosis.

It is unclear who would bear the high costs of transporting and treating non-citizen Ebola patients. The plans include special waivers of laws and regulations that ban the admission of non-citizens with a communicable disease as dangerous as Ebola.

One source tells us that the Obama administration is keeping this plan secret from Congress. The source is concerned that the proposal is illegal; endangers the public health and welfare; and should require the approval of Congress.


​

If this plan comes to fruition, the public outcry will be deafening. The fact that the cost of this would undoubtedly fall on the backs of taxpayers is one thing, the negligence it would show for the American people is quite another.

I’ll leave you with Thomas Sowell’s take on what Obama’s actions toward the latest crisis suggest about our president:

At a minimum, it suggests that he takes his conception of himself as a citizen of the world more seriously than he takes his role as President of the United States. At worst, he may consider Americans' interests expendable in the grand scheme of things internationally.

If so, this would explain a lot of his foreign policy disasters around the world, which seem inexplicable otherwise.

Those critics who have been citing Barack Obama's foreign policy fiascoes and disasters as evidence that he is incompetent may be overlooking the possibility that he has different priorities than the protection of the American people and America's interests as a nation.

This is a monstrous possibility. But no one familiar with the history of the twentieth century should consider monstrous possibilities as things to dismiss automatically. Nor should anyone who has followed Barack Obama's behavior over his lifetime, and the values that behavior reveals. […]

No one knows at this point how big the Ebola danger may turn out to be. But what we do know is that official reassurances about this and other dangers have become worthless.

Comforting, isn't it?

101st Airborne Won’t Get Full Protective Hazmat Suits for Ebola Mission in West Africa

Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, October 18, 2014, 7:50 PM

​

Unbelievable.

Troops from the 101st Airborne Division will not receive full protective Hazmat suits for their mission in West Africa.

They’re being sent to West Africa – but won’t get full protective Hazmat suits.


US troops prepare for deployment (US Army Africa)

The 101st Airborne is a U.S. Army modular light infantry division trained for air assault operations. The division was renowned for its role on D-Day. Major General David H. Petraeus (“Eagle 6″) led the Screaming Eagles to war in 2003 during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The administration says they won’t need them.

Nashville Public Radio reported:

Troops from the 101st Airborne Division leading the military response to Ebola in West Africa will only need gloves and masks to protect themselves from the deadly virus, so said Gen. David Rodriguez at a Pentagon briefing Wednesday.

“They don’t need the whole suit – as such – because they’re not going to be in contact with any of the people,” the commander of U.S. troops in Africa said.

Soldiers from the 101st Airborne will primarily be building hospitals, ultimately leading what could be a contingent of 4,000 American service members. They’ll be housed either in tent cities at military airfields or in Liberian Ministry of Defense facilities, Rodriguez said.

Soldiers’ health will be monitored through surveys and taking their temperature on their way in and out of camps. If a service member does get sick, Rodriguez said they will be flown home immediately for treatment.

Hat Tip Virginia

Health officials admitted this past week that the death rate in the Ebola epidemic has risen to 70 percent, up from 50 percent.

Meanwhile… Obama hit the links today.

[h=1]CIDRAP DIRECTOR: TWO EBOLA POSSIBILITIES THAT 'SHOULD KEEP US UP AT NIGHT'[/h]

by BREITBART NEWS 19 Oct 2014 176POST A COMMENT

[h=2]Michael T. Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, writes in the New York Times:[/h]The Ebola epidemic in West Africa has the potential to alter history as much as any plague has ever done.
There have been more than 4,300 cases and 2,300 deaths over the past six months. Last week, the World Health Organization warned that, by early October, there may be thousands of new cases per week in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria. What is not getting said publicly, despite briefings and discussions in the inner circles of the world’s public health agencies, is that we are in totally uncharted waters and that Mother Nature is the only force in charge of the crisis at this time.
There are two possible future chapters to this story that should keep us up at night.
The first possibility is that the Ebola virus spreads from West Africa to megacities in other regions of the developing world. This outbreak is very different from the 19 that have occurred in Africa over the past 40 years. It is much easier to control Ebola infections in isolated villages. But there has been a 300 percent increase in Africa’s population over the last four decades, much of it in large city slums. What happens when an infected person yet to become ill travels by plane to Lagos, Nairobi, Kinshasa or Mogadishu — or even Karachi, Jakarta, Mexico City or Dhaka?
The second possibility is one that virologists are loath to discuss openly but are definitely considering in private: that an Ebola virus could mutate to become transmissible through the air. You can now get Ebola only through direct contact with bodily fluids. But viruses like Ebola are notoriously sloppy in replicating, meaning the virus entering one person may be genetically different from the virus entering the next. The current Ebola virus’s hyper-evolution is unprecedented; there has been more human-to-human transmission in the past four months than most likely occurred in the last 500 to 1,000 years. Each new infection represents trillions of throws of the genetic dice.

OBAMA GOLFS FOR 4 HOURS, 40 MINUTES ON SATURDAY, THEN HOLDS NIGHTTIME EBOLA MEETING--WHICH NEW EBOLA CZAR SKIPS!

President Barack Obama’s new Ebola "czar" Ron Klain has skipped another White House meeting on the Ebola crisis, a readout of who attended a Saturday meeting with Obama shows.

Obama held the Ebola meeting after spending four hours and 40 minutes on the golf course at Fort Belvoir, according to the White House press pool report from the New York Daily News' Dan Friedman.
“The President on Saturday evening convened members of his national security and public health teams to update him on the response to the domestic Ebola cases,” the White House said in an email blast Saturday evening. “The President’s advisors detailed the status of the contact tracing process to identify and, as necessary, monitor all individuals who may have come into contact with Ebola patients in Dallas following their exposure. The President’s team also reviewed for him the comprehensive measures the Administration—acting together with state and local partners—is taking to ensure that Dallas has all of the appropriate and necessary resources to diagnose any additional cases safely and effectively. The meeting concluded with a discussion of broader steps to increase the preparedness of our health sector nationwide.”
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

Klain, who was appointed Ebola Czar on Friday by Obama, is not on this list. It's the second meeting in as many days on Ebola that Klain hasn’t attended after being appointed into the position on Friday.

UH OH: NEW EBOLA CZAR BELIEVES ‘OVERPOPULATION’ THE BIGGEST LEADERSHIP ISSUE FOR THE WORLD

Posted on Oct 20, 2014 at 7:20 PM in Politics | 21 Comments

Yeah this new Ebola Czar appears more and more to be a ‘perfect’ pick. He said this in 2008 when asked what the top leadership issue challenging our world today:

“I think the top leadership challenge issue in our world today is how to deal with the continuing, growing population in the world and all the resource demands it places on the world and burgeoning populations in Africa and Asia that lack the resources to have a healthy, happy life,” Klain said.

“We’ve got to find a way to make the world work for everyone,” Klain said. “Climate change is an issue that impacts [sic] that greatly by making it harder for people to live where they live, by causing disruptions, and lack of resources.”
