CDC Director Tom Frieden Was Left-Wing “Community Organizer” #Ebola
Got News ^ | 10/14/14 | Charles C. Johnson

CDC Director Tom Frieden fondly remembered his time as a “community organizer” in a 2012 commencement speech at Oberlin College. Frieden described misreading a health report which he had to turn upside down to get right.

Frieden’s role as a “community organizer” was first reported in the New York Times in a profile. The philosophy major reportedly worked on the Mississippi Delta.

“We established an information system that held everyone accountable for every patient treated–a feed back loop that let us know if we were succeeding or failing.” Frieden said, recalling his efforts against tuberculosis. “And this is crucially important. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. It’s not enough to want to do well. Rigor about what you’re really doing, what you’ve really accomplished is so important because if you’re falling short of the mark it’s very important to find that out early so you can make gradual changes and improvements and achieve your goal.”

Putting a leftwing, extremist DNC political hack in charge of the Center for Disease Control shows just how seriously Barry takes this stuff. This new “good old boys” club is going to get us all killed. I’ll bet his emails are already disappearing.

Obama puts rigid adherence to "progressive" ideology above competency in his appointments.

Why would anyone be surprised?

A philosophy major who tries to read health reports upside down? Well...all I can say is that he’s as qualified for his position as our last two Secretaries of State were for theirs. Or our President for his.

I mean, why WOULDN’T you put a scientist or Doctor in charge of the CDC? That’s just silly talk!
A guy I work with says you don’t have to know the job to manage people under you, right? (I think he’s not too bright and so do others).

It shows just how stupid half the whites are in this country. They voted for a community organizer who could read a teleprompter. I can’t blame the blacks for voting for a black man. But the whites who voted for him, not because he’s black, but because he sent a tingle up their legs, are just plain stupid.

Jesus H. Christ.

Now they are JUST MAKING S**T UP about Frieden.

He was not a Community Organizer, and there is nothing in this so-called article that even comes close to establishing the accusation. They do attempt to back the accusation with this:

“We established an information system that held everyone accountable for every patient treated–a feed back loop that let us know if we were succeeding or failing.” Frieden said, recalling his efforts against tuberculosis. “And this is crucially important. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. It’s not enough to want to do well. Rigor about what you’re really doing, what you’ve really accomplished is so important because if you’re falling short of the mark it’s very important to find that out early so you can make gradual changes and improvements and achieve your goal."

WHO CAN DISAGREE WITH THAT???

Jesus, if we conservatives are getting it THIS wrong, and making THIS LEVEL of baseless charges about someone I know a little about, it makes me question how wrong we may have been about other accusations and topics.

It’s not enough to want to do well.
Rigor about what you’re really doing, what you’ve really accomplished..

RIGOR is the first word contained in "RIGOR MORTIS" !!,
Your explanations of Ebola are not truthful, and will lead to "RIGOR MORTIS" of the nation.
