Might as well have picked George Clooney, at least he played a doctor on TV.

Yup, just another layer of obfuscation.

I must have missed all these “growing calls” for Obama to appoint a political hack with no expertise to oversee the nations Ebola response!

Administration supporters raise a stink that Obama’s (VERY Liberal) nominee for Surgeon General languishes without approval, blaming the “partisan” Republicans; but wouldn’t it be prudent to have a list of qualified candidates available in case your initial choice didn’t go through?

Besides the fact that Obama selects strictly political hacks (typically women) to fill these positions, his massive narcissism can’t get past the point where someone would dare deny him even the first time… Plus, it makes for good political theater to have your candidate dangling in the wind & be able to blame the other side for all your woes.

Well, let’s see. Since the last POLITICAL HACK bungled the job, let’s appoint another POLITICAL HACK. FYI, the last POLITICAL HACK, that got the job at CDC, was the same POLITICAL HACK that helped Mayor Bloomberg pass that stupid law requiring restaurants to remove the 16 ounce soda drink. (TOO FATTENING). Maybe this new POLITICAL HACK will help OBAMA declare MARTIAL LAW. To prevent EBOLA from coming to Washington DC.

The guy responsible for the Solyndra debacle is going to be the guy running the Ebola response. THINK ABOUT THAT.

RK’s Twitter is mostly about politics and businesses that are up and coming. I suppose we can at least get insider info on up and coming stocks if we “follow” him.

This caught my eye…he retweeted link to a small CLEANING SERVICES company that’s on the rise. Guess Ronnie Boy at least knows who to call to clean up Ebola “spills.”Both Handy and Homejoy see themselves as providing services beyond just home cleaning,” http://techcrunch.com/2014/10/14/handy-hits-1-million-a-week-in-bookings-as-cleaning-economy-consolidates/

Great, just great: a freaking lawyer and supreme political hack to handle possibly the worst health crisis in this nation since the 1918-1919 flu pandemic. I’d normally laugh at this, but somehow I can’t wrap my mind around this equation:

(Galaxy-Class Stupidity + Malignant Narcissist In Charge + Extreme Political Correctness + Ebola Zaire) = funny

Nah, I just don’t get it - maybe someone can explain it to me.

Oh, and I’m a lawyer - and I think that the very worst thing to do is appoint a lawyer to oversee a health matter.
