It''s now obvious that all important problems in the world wouldn't be here if it weren't for Obama. I sure hope the polls that show a GOP Senate next year are right! You really want the same people running the House running the Senate .
The House GOP has solved the Ebola threat: a travel ban. That is the only thing we need to do based on their questions to the medical professionals today. Never mind what the disease is, how it's caught, and what we need to do to tamp down on it. Let's just ban people from Africa from coming to the US. The Ebola problem will be solved.
They predictably don't much care about the humanitarian crisis in West Africa. Who cares about that? The GOP cares about Ebola for two reasons.
1). As applies to every question. the main interest is to the extent that somehow Ebola's very existence is all Obama's fault
2). As a bonus, the content of this fault is that he won't ban all planes from West Africa.
I mean the GOP has always wanted an excuse to ban any more blacks in this country and now they have a ready made excuse.
Listen, I'm not saying that there isn't some concern that's legitimate about flights from these countries though I doubt a total restriction is the answer but, I am struck watching this hearing-how little interest there was in anything but flight bans from House Republicans. I see why everyone thinks things will be better when they take over the Senate, if they do it.
As for Ebola itself, the worry is that this is different than previous cases of Ebola. Then it was always relegated to a few villages where they could be quarantined and the disease killed off. This time it's now reached epidemic levels in 3 West African countries.
The CDC understandably doesn't want to be alarmist and create a panic, but understating the threat too much is counterproductive. A medical expert on CNBC this morning, .Scott Gottlick, suggested that while we certainly won't have an Ebola epidemic in America, we could see 30 or 40 cases in one country. If this is the case the CDC needs to be careful not to squander it's credibility by being overly sanguine.
P.S. No, Ebola is not going to define Obama's presidency. Talk about GOP wishful thinking.

Seriously, how can anyone want conservatives in charge when they say things like this?

Just because some blame him doesn't make it his fault. These are people that will blame him no matter what he does.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that a ban will end Ebola? It won't and it's in many ways quite inhumane. So if it won't solve the problem and it's humane why do it? To please people who will never be pleased by anything Obama could ever do?
