White House: We Weren't Looking for 'Ebola Expert' to Be Ebola Czar
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | October 18, 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 10/18/2014 7:39:13 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

On Friday, the White House said its new Ebola Response Coordinator Ronald Klain was "not an Ebola expert" because the Obama administration wasn't looking for one.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest was asked, "What does Ronald Klain know about Ebola?"

"What we were looking for is not an ebola expert but rather an implementation expert, and that's exactly what Ron Klain is," Earnest responded, saying Klain's job as the "Ebola Response Coordinator" would be to "manage the implementation of our whole-of-government approach to Ebola."(continued)

He is the ebola transparency czar.

His transparency in Solyndra are his qualifications

When you want an Ebola expert, hire a political hack with no medical knowledge.

Oh come on. What idiot who put someone in charge of something would want that person to be an expert on the subject?

“CHANGE YOU CAN BEREAVE IN”.

What O’Bola and his ‘Perception Management’ experts like the new Klain will be doing to racially use the EVD threat to entrench their demo-fascist party voting base, at the expense of taxpayer health and liberty, is the worst national disgrace, cum pandemic disaster, ever perpetrated on the American people.

Take my name and take your notes, and don’t be surprised about how 100 MIL other citizens whose health and family you have similarly exposed start expressing their discontent.

To those administration Identity Politics spokespeople I have failed to insult here tonight, I apologize...

Obama has proved one thing with his 6 year fiasco. The Presidency of the United States is no place for OJT (On the Job Training). What the heck were those LoFo and “white guilt” voters thinking?

Cronyism and committment to communism is all that is needed.

It looks like the only thing Klain is good at is being a political hack. He is not someone who can solve real problems. He just tries to cover it up with deep pockets.

And Apparently the American People weren't looking for someone smart enough to be President either.

What was it Obama said when he took office? Oh yeah: "don't do stupid stuff." ROFL!!

“dazzle ‘em with BS”

He’s going to manage their “whole of government approach to Ebola”.
Has anyone run this by Howard Johnson? It sounds a little sketchy.
Howard is a level headed guy and his cow died so he won’t take any bull.

Whole of government approach to government. Isn’t that the biggest load of ....

“manage the implementation of our whole-of-government approach to Ebola.”

That’s really weird phrasing. Sounds like “manage the implementation of Ebola upon the American population” to me.

Well of course the White House wasn't looking for 'Ebola Expert' to Be Ebola Czar.
POTUS himself, the guy at the top, has absolutely no expertise in anything --- certainly no executive experience --- and no demonstrable skill or work experience in his resume.
The circus side show continues.

In fairness I understand the approach. Technical experts are often just that; project management is a different discipline. But unfortunately this guy isn’t a project mgmt or technical expert.

Had this explanation accompanied the appointment of a respected ex-Governor, CEO or military officer it would make good sense to me. Instead we have a political hack who will do nothing substantive. Yet another missed opportunity.

-——Yet another missed opportunity.-——

You confuse the problem and the solution. The only concern of the Obama administration is to loot the treasury. By placing a trusted political hack in the position, the money that will be demanded to fund the effort will be borrowed and then stolen.

The democrat party is a criminal enterprise.

There is no penalty. There must be penalty, harsh final penalties for the crimes

This is like hiring a car mechanic to be a brain surgeon. He can take things apart and put them back together, so that would make sense.
