Not a medical professional but a political hack to be the "Ebola Czar" - With so many professionals in the medical field, why this guy. Dr Grupa is available since he was canned by CNN!

Obama isn't too smart. He should have appointed someone with Republican ties to share the heat with.

I just said this morning that if he appoints an Ebola czar that it would be an incompetent spin artist

There are projects where people assign credit and projects where people assign blame.

You only need a Czar to accept blame for something gone wrong. If it were going well, Obama would be accepting credit.

Where'd he get his MD from? Can't seem to find that info. I mean, you'd think that the guy to head up the government's response to Ebola would be a doctor, right?


Ahhhh... this is what comes up when you google him:

quote:

Ronald A. "Ron" Klain is an American lawyer and political operative best known for serving as Chief of Staff to two Vice Presidents - Al Gore and Joseph Biden. He is an influential Democratic Party insider.


Now it makes sense.

ALL of Obama's 'Czars' are political hacks.

Klain did such a good job as Solyndra Czar, Baraaq just had to have him come back and screw up something else in a royal fashion.

Klain deeply involved in Solyndra debacle

Obama will just "write" another book in which he is the wise one in the room full of imbeciles.

I'm not a fan of Ted Cruz at all, but he is exactly right - we do need someone to lead, not busy appointing failed recount guru's to combat this virus.

Seems like everyday a new one sprouts up.

From the comments:

At least he led the failed recount that would have otherwise led to a Gore Presidency. We at least have to thank him for that.

Does Obama exist in some kind of bubble where there is no one to tell him when he's making a stupid decision? Or I guess they're all that stupid.

So I just read this. I mean what the frick? People in many capacities are trained to handle this sort of thing. This is seriously appalling.


I've been around political hacks for all my adult life. Contrary to popular belief, they are good at some things. This is not one of them.

Ron Klain... the name made me search my memory, then I figured out he's the guy Kevin Spacey played in "Recount."

This dude's interested in nothing more than protecting the Democratic Party.

Obama has appointed nothing but political hacks to key posts. Historically, the VP's Chief of Staff has been someone the administration puts in that post to keep a muzzle on the VP. This guy hasn't even been able to keep the moron Biden out of trouble. So sure, why not put him in charge of preventing a monumental public health disaster? Even with a Republican House and Senate, I'm not convinced we will survive 2 more years of Obamarama.

Some Republicans would have us believe a "life saving doctor" is better qualified to be in Congress than a career politician - so why isn't the reverse true?
