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.
Friedens 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 treateda 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. Its not enough to want to do well. Rigor about what youre really doing, what youve really accomplished is so important because if youre falling short of the mark its very important to find that out early so you can make gradual changes and improvements and achieve your goal.

Because I happen to know a little about him. He's resisted a lot of Obama pressure. Obama would LOVE to get rid of this guy.
He is also not qualified for his present position. His attack on the nurse who contracted Ebola as well as his other actions make that clear.
Yes, I agree he's messed up. However, one thing that sets him apart is that he's actually owning up to it. Everyone else in this administration DOUBLES DOWN and throws the finger at America. Frieden is actually admitting problems and making corrections.
Much to Obama's anger, I am sure.
I guess you started freaking out before you realized there is a video, at the bottom of the article, where he does INDEED say that.
Just go to the 4 minute mark, and he says it at 4 minutes and 20 seconds.
I thought that was an interesting choice of words? Now you can spin all you want, but he did say that.
Jesus had a middle name?
Where is the US Ebola Czar, Dr. Nicole Lurie?
And what has she been up to for the last six years?
Based on Frieden's performance so far, he may have forgotten almost everything he learned after he graduated from Oberlin.
Frieden may not have even read his own website. If the NY Times reporting is accurate, my DENTIST routinely uses as much protection as the CDC is recommending for hospital workers treating Ebola!
NY Times: "How Hospital Workers Are Supposed to Treat Ebola Safely"
"Within the dozens of pages of Ebola information, the instructions for health care workers include a summary of the personal protective equipment that must be worn:
* Gloves
* Fluid-resistant or impermeable gown
* Goggles or a face shield
* Face mask over the nose and mouth
"They also suggest that in certain situations that involve large amounts of blood, vomit or other fluids, more protective equipment might be required such as a second pair of gloves, shoe covers and leg covers."
From now on, the first question of any Obama appointee or nominee should be “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?”
Thomas R. Frieden is the Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Administrator of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). He served as Commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene from 20022009.
2009 to Present: 16th Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
YOU SAID he never said,
“He was not a Community Organizer, and there is nothing in this so-called article that even comes close to establishing the accusation.
I just proved to you he did (in the video below the article)use those words “Community Organizer”, and this article simply points that out.
Now you are spinning saying well “yeah, poor choice of words”
Who chooses words like “Community Organizer” in 2012 to describe who they were in the past??? Really??? I only hear that from Radical Leftist.
Still BS, dude. I actually KNOW a little about this guy. Obama does NOT like him, and would LOVE to replace him with someone more in-tune with his ideology.
He.
Was.
Not.
A.
Community.
Organizer.
Everytime we ask, “How can this happen in our country?”, we get the same answer. Politics first, everything else is irrelevant - “fundamental change” on steroids.
We are so royally screwed.
Alright. Let's go get him fired.
Obama would immediately appoint Michael Bloomberg, who's priorities would be a complete gun ban, a complete nicotine ban, and strict calorie limits for all citizens.
You do not know how good you've got it now, with Frieden.
So now you are saying he lied when he said it in 2012???
YOU KNOW, using the word “Commmunity Organzier” in 2012 means Radical Leftist.
He thinks we should bring the pandemic into our country to stop it.
Now THAT is what I would expect from a Community Organizer (aka radical Leftist)
He SAID IT IN 2012...
Fine. Tell ya what: Get him fired.
You will see what radical leftist *really* looks like.
Great. Go git 'im, boy.
Enjoy the next CDC director, who will make banning ALL guns, ALL tobacco, and ALL high calorie food the next priority. There will be NO infectious disease research, ONLY political and ideological goals.
I don't give a crap no mo. You go enjoy the hell you are making.
You just don't understand, this guy is as good as you are ever gonna get. But you probably don't care.
Aw hell. I just checked. You are a relative noob. You may actually BE part of the Dump-Frieden-So-We-Can-Appoint-A-Bloomberg-Clone team.
Well when the current guy wants to bring in a Pandemic...
Even third world dictators in Africa have the common sense to secure their border, but the U.S. seems to be an Ebola dumping ground.
