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.

Thanks for taking my correction, with class. :)
No surprise here...
Smelled the demonRAT a mile away the first time he opened his trap....
Well, the head of DHS was previously just a fundraiser for soetoro.
If things go badly - he'll be called President Ebola.
