The lawmakers accused Obama of attempting to “pass the buck” onto organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO), which have advised against travel bans. Obama has said he would not ban travel unless the WHO reversed its position.
“[The WHO] has no duty to protect the lives and well-being of Americans, as you do. Furthermore, it has utterly failed to stem the epidemic through its own action. The responsibility for this decision is yours, not theirs,” they wrote.
The three Democrats — Reps. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Dave Loebsack (D-Iowa) – are among the growing handful in their party who have publicly criticized the Obama administration’s response to Ebola.

I thought “WHO” was a branch of the United Nations, no?
They must be polling REALLY bad! And the election is less than 4 weeks away.
Interesting title given it was 3 Dems and 24 Repubs.
Correct. WHO is the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations system.
Saudi Arabia doesn’t bow to their authority but we do.
He added on the sidelines of a press conference that the kingdom’s ban on issuing visas to people from Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea would remain in place for the foreseeable future.
Is interesting there is no mention of republicans supporting travel ban from ebola land in headline. My only question is what is congress doing? This letter should have been signed by all of those persons in congress. btw ... congress critters ... all of you congress critters ... GET OFF YOUR BUTT! Go stop obola if you believe in the OATH!
Dems worried about getting creamed in November elections.
The dem’s don’t get it yet, they are there to sing and dance, to entertain and perform at the whims of the King, they are the Kings Jesters.
I thought WHO was playing 1st base
Some Dems with common sense?
Or just an understanding that they won’t be elected to positions where they can destroy America if people suspect they want to destroy America?
Yeah, God forbid you make a decision yourself, you POS!
Just out of curiosity what airlines fly between the U.S. and Liberia, Sierra Leone, or Guinea.
See, that's why they call themselves The sHill.
In the mean time, direct all flights to Reagan National and give all passengers VIP tours to the white hut to meet 0bama and his spawn and then to meet all members of congress and lunch with Reid and Pelosi.
Freepers confirmed no directs from Liberia, probably not for the other two. Requires stops in other countries, almost certain a change of planes.
Interesting. Since Politico mocked the GOP for doing similar. Calling them fear mongers and conspiracy theorists.
Weird. LOL!
I think they’re worried about big donors being wiped out
I still can’t believe that the “WIFE ABUSER” Grayson beat out Col. Allen West!! What a bunch of dumbasses.
