President Barack Obama abruptly canceled a planned campaign trip Wednesday and planned to convene his Cabinet at the White House instead, as U.S. officials grappled with the widening Ebola crisis.

The White House said Obama’s trip to New Jersey and Connecticut would be postponed to a later date. Obama was to speak to reporters on Wednesday afternoon after meeting with top officials who are coordinating the government’s response to Ebola.

Obama’s decision to nix the trip—just a few hours before Air Force One was scheduled to depart—reflected the urgency facing the administration amid the American public’s escalating concerns about potential spread of the virus. …

Remember his ‘laser-like focus’ on jobs? That failed, and this will fail too.

Call me when he cancels himself.

The President that couldn’t do a website is going control Ebola?

No, he's going to "manage it", as he does with all things as a multi-cultural, social justice, community organizer, super-guy.

Pfft..he will reschedule it in less than 48 hours.

F U B O!

Maybe he should consult with John Kerry?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Optics.

He’s not going to work. This is just a PR move to appear “concerned”. He might be getting some flack from his fellow dims that this issue could seriously damage the dims election outlook but that is the only concern in reality.

Telling,,,President Ebola is feeling some heat..and his crew are probably screaming at optimum decibels demanding that he fix it,,or at least “appear” to fix it.
