I’ve been wondering if in the upper echelon of Govt. there are any left? (people that want to do the RIGHT thing for their fellow citizens and their Country)

I can only think of a bad reason for the editing.
To: Jim Robinson
In fairness to Obama, I am sure that if banning flights from Ebola countries would hurt Israel, he would ban them.

Some flights potentially bring in carriers of a serious, communicable disease. Other flights certainly bring in Jews. Which ones would you expect Rev. Wright's disciple to ban.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Flights to Israel would let Jooos! out of the US, and some might not come back. Flights from Israel weren’t banned, in case some of those who left do come back and contribute money and time to electing Dems. As for Ebola, a few deadly communicable disease carriers never harmed anyone. What would Emma Lazarus say? They’re yearning to breath free.

Might, but I doubt it, an interesting lady I don't know enough about. Her identification with the Statue only took place about 2 decades after the erection of the statue, and he authorship of The New Collosus. Certainly the statue was never intended to be a commentary on immigration, that flowed from it's location. I like her poem, it's a fine commentary on America. Looking backwards, and at the time. 1880's. It was perhaps missing a concluding stanza, about the tired, poor and all becoming productive, self sufficient Americans. But in that day, why else would you come here.

An NBC photographer, accompaning Dr Nancy Snyderman in Africa....(reporting on Ebola) has contracted the disease.....and Nancy and her team are all quarantined for 21 days.
She’s been around a long time and this is pretty big news
To: Guenevere
yep are they trying to report or report what they are told to?
To: Guenevere
She has. Curiouser and curiouser.
To: SJackson
OK. I found it. The missing concluding stanza:
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Concluding stanza:
And shout, 'y'all come! There's benefits galore!
Bring your diseases, always room for more!
We're willing to risk it, give away the store.'
