Lanny is correct. Klain is just the right guy. He'll manage to get the media to shut up about Ebola until after the election. The AP is already admitting outright they are cutting back on their coverage.

After the Election, who cares if the Ebola plague in contained? The important thing will be if the political damage to this treasonous Administration and it's Marxist Party will have been sufficiently contained so they can persue their agenda to destroy this country.

That's the real reason for the Ebola Czar. A genuine medical expert and administrator would not be able to do the "correct" job for this disgusting Administration.

A political hack and enforcer like Klain is perfect for the job description.

Meanwhile, Valerie Jarrett grooms Liz Warren to be the next POTUS. When Warren and Mrs. Clinton square off in the boxing ring, THAT will be a REALITY SHOW. Will Slick Willie be the ref, or the trainer in Hil’s corner with the sponge and spit bucket?

The Ebola Czar, Ron Klain and Solyndra $535 Million Fraud

NATIONAL REVIEW ^ | Oct 20, 2014 | Andrew C. McCarthy

Ron Klain and Solyndra

The administration’s point man on a solar fraud is now in charge of Ebola.

Ron Klain is a sharp-elbowed Democratic political operative with no medical expertise. Tapping him as “Ebola czar” may not be the president’s best move when, as it is, no one can believe a word the Obama administration says. And that’s not just because Mr. Klain is yet another lobbyist recruited despite Mr. Obama’s vow that his administration would shun lobbyists. Klain was also a central player in the president’s Solyndra fraud, which soaked taxpayers for over half a billion dollars for the benefit of Obama cronies. In Faithless Execution, I recount the Solyndra fraud. It never got the attention it deserved — involving, as it did, potential felony fraud violations of federal law.

Even for people who did give it attention at the time, Solyndra is so many Obama scandals ago that its unseemly details are tough to recall. The story is thus worth retelling. As our nerves fray over the Ebola crisis, it is a valuable window into the administration’s priorities and an indicator of the level of trust we can put in the new czar’s assurances.

Solyndra was a solar-energy company backed by the family foundation of George Kaiser, an Oklahoma oil magnate and major Obama fundraiser. Prior to Obama’s coming to power, Solyndra had sought government funding under the economically absurd 2005 Energy Policy Act. That law lets the government play venture capitalist, investing taxpayer money in private “green energy” boondoggles that cannot attract adequate market financing.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...
