Ten Things the Ebola Crisis Tells Us About the Obama Admin
PJ Media ^ | 18 Oct 2014 | Michael Walsh

Posted on 10/18/2014 10:47:10 AM PDT by Rummyfan

What a shock: faced with a crisis that could demolish the Democrats in the coming midterm elections and permanently cripple his post-election plans to continue “fundamental transformation,” President Obama has done the only thing he knows how to do — seek a political solution to get him past Nov. 4, in the hopes that he can fool the American public one last time.

The announcement of Ron Klain as the new Ebola “czar” checks all the boxes: Harvard Law, longtime Democrat party op, veteran of the Clinton, Al Gore and John Kerry campaigns. The problem is, it checks all the wrong boxes. The Progressive myth is that we ought to have a government of experts — top men! — to handle the nation’s problems in a calm, deliberative manner. The reality is that we have a nation of unscrupulous lawyers, amoral apparatchiks and political hacks whose only area of expertise is manipulating the electoral and governmental systems and getting rich by doing so.

Mr. Klain will report directly to Lisa Monaco, Mr. Obama’s homeland security adviser, and Susan E. Rice, his national security adviser, the official said.

Well, that makes me fell much better!

I am shocked, just shocked, that this Ebola czar is not a doctor, and has no medical or healthcare background whatsoever. It is fine for experts to deal with issues but Obama appoints someone who is a political hack???

We are facing a public health problem, but the best qualified point man has no experience in healthcare??? Am I the only one who thinks this is absurd????

Mr. Klain is the Ebola czar or is the Ebola Zaire?

Obolo's goal is not so much to control the pandemic as it is to control the "message" or information about the pandemic. A doctor would report facts while a political hack will manage the information.

With this guy in charge we will know less and less.

I heard that no further updates on Nurse Pham's condition will be provided due to HIPAA confidentiality concerns. I smell a bureaucrat controlling information.

Yes, he is there to manage the info, but he is also there to do Obama’s bidding and to put his own head in the guillotine if anything goes wrong with Obama’s policies.

“With this guy in charge we will know less and less.”

Perhaps not. Their whole intent is to mislead, so you need to view all important statements as the opposite of the truth. The administration 0-bots are only talking to their dwindling drone base. Hopefully, a few brave souls in the administration and government will continue to leak out the truth as the lies grow more and more dangerous. These folks have families & kids and don’t want to die of Ebola even if it goes against 0bama’s political interests.

Don’t believe it until it’s been officially denied.

It probably went like this:

Look, Klain, we need someone to be the point man for this crisis, you know, be in front of the media just to answer questions. Don't worry we will have all the answers for you, all you gotta do is talk, you know to keep the people calm. You will be well paid, we will get you a full staff and funding enough to do your job. So, what do you say? No, you don't really need to be a doctor, you just gotta be our point guy to calm the masses. How about it? Yeah, you'll get your own limo.

“this Ebola czar is not a doctor, and has no medical or healthcare background whatsoever”

They’re treating Ebola as if it’s just another widget.

I would add MORONS after each word on your list.

I sincerely hope that everyone who ends up dying from this is a liberal who voted for the pos.
