Ebola sends Obama to DEFCON ONE. Fundraiser canceled. Cabinet meets.
Red State ^ | 10-15-2014 | streiff

President Barack Obama has canceled a trip to New Jersey and Connecticut and will instead hold a meeting about Ebola at the White House.

“The president’s travel today to New Jersey and Connecticut has been postponed,” the president’s Press Secretary said in a statement. “Late this afternoon, the president will convene a meeting at the White House of cabinet agencies coordinating the government’s response to the Ebola outbreak.”

That’s right. Obama has cancelled a fundraiser. When the US Consulate in Benghazi was sacked and our ambassador killed, what did Obama do?

According to the public schedule of the president, the last time the Obama attended his daily intelligence meeting was Sept. 5 — a week before Islamist radicals stormed our embassy in Cairo and terrorists killed our ambassador to Tripoli. The president was scheduled to hold the intelligence meeting at 10:50 a.m. Wednesday, the day after the attacks, but it was canceled so that he could comfort grieving employees at the State Department — as well he should. But instead of rescheduling the intelligence briefing for later in the day, Obama apparently chose to skip it altogether and attend a Las Vegas fundraiser for his re-election campaign. One day after a terrorist attack

“Optics are everything to Obola. IMHO, Frieden will be the fall guy. Cabinet will huddle to draft talking points.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

agree with all points. Even with the announcement below, I’d bet the farm that Obama had prior knowledge of today’s “breaking news.” This is about the FIRST nurse and BEFORE he canceled the fundraiser and called an ebola PR cabinet meeting. The “surge” is because he already knew about the ebola diagnosis of the 2nd Duncan healthcare worker.

Prediction: Obama will limit air travel to and from ebola-infected countries before the weekend ends. Always too little too late —— optics/PR/politics 24/7

Obama Announces ‘Surge of Resources into Dallas’ ... 2 Weeks After First Ebola Case in US
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3215389/posts

“On TUESDAY, 16 days after the late Thomas Eric Duncan became the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, President Barack Obama announced, “We are surging resources into Dallas to examine what exactly has happened that ended up infecting the nurse there.”

“Obviously are thoughts and prayers are with her,” he added.”

In Los Angeles they announced today (I still listen to L.A. radio) that jokes about having Ebola might be an arrestable offense. They were really emphatic about Halloween costumes linked to it.

Whether that is legal or not, I don’t know — I am jut reporting what I heard at a press conference held by the LAPD.

Obama doesn't have the skills for this, and neither do his Minion ideologues.

Exactly. You or I could handle this is a few hours. He doesn't have the mental capacity:

  1. Create a $500 million emergency Ebola Isolation Fund (EIF).
  2. Whenever there's a hint that someone has been exposed, they immediately go into in-home isolation. No visitors are permitted for 21-30 days and they are not permitted to leave.
  3. if they have other family members, they will be confined to a facility (dorm, hotel, etc.) dedicated for this purpose.
  4. Their compensation will be paid from the EIF unless already covered by their employer, worker's comp, etc.
  5. Food, clothing, DVDs and other pastimes will be delivered to the home as needed.
  6. If they develop Ebola, they will immediately be transferred to a separate facility just for Ebola victims. Anyone they were in contact with goes into in-home isolation.

This is what should have immediately been done with the hospital where Duncan went. All nurses and waiting room patients should have gone into immediate quarantine. Not for their sakes, but for the secondary contacts they could make. The problem is money. People are driven to stay in the public because of their jobs. THe EIF would eliminate this reason and even make isolation a bit like a holiday.

This nation spends billions helping other nations. We need to use some of those finances to wisely help our own country in this emergency situation.

The community organizer needs to be replaced with someone who can think nationally and in the interest of all Americans, not just in the interests of his collections of perverts, "victims", so-called disadvantaged, non-whites, naïve youth, pro-abortion single women, and immigrants.

If the source country was Israel, he’d have dropped nukes on it, a flight ban, and closed every Deli in New York City.

There will be a new committee, then time to draft committee members, then invite ‘doctors and nurses’ to testify, to study, then will get back to the public after their findings.

Then it will take another year to come up with a proposed ‘cure’.

Wait till people start popping up inside the US who are infected who don’t know how they were infected. When that happens, it’s all over. Ebola is here to stay. I don’t think it will spread to the point of being a pandemic, but what it will mean is me and you and everyone else will now be living in a country where a virus will be around that can kill you within a month. Isn’t that a lovely thought. Take a bus, go to the supermarket, any place out in the public and you basically risk your life. Obamas legacy, thank you Democrats

"Obama won’t go anywhere he has to share air with commoners."

I'm guessing he cancelled visiting Connecticut and New Jersey, because the Entero-68 virus has shown up in those two states. Pretty soon he won't have any of his 57 states to fundraise in, because they'll all be under quarantine.

[The Cambridge Christian School in Tampa is closing their high school for the rest of the week due to a high number of students sick. One-third of the school’s 240 high school class students have come down with flu-like symptoms. Cleaning crews will spend the next two days cleaning and disinfecting the school.]

Could be he got serious when Sidwell School reported they had a high rate of students with flu-like symtoms.

Wasn’t Bush 43 politically ridiculed for the 20(?) min. that he continued to spend with school children after getting word of the 9/11 tragedy?

Did you catch The Five a couple days ago, when Beckel said that “climate change” is the number one danger in the world? The panel was discussing O’Bola and his refusal to stop flights from his home continent, and Beckel says (the bogus libtard religion of )climate change is the number one danger to America. He was totally serious.

You are so right. When people get this plague with no obvious contact with a carrier, all bets are off and total panic will ensue. O’Bola is going to get lots of people killed in a horrific way. This will seal his fate as the worst president ever and he will hold that title as long as the USA exists.
