If the new Ebola Czar doesn't hurry up, he's going to miss the outbreak

Probably fresh meat, but it is unusual to have a czar for outbreaks that last weeks, especially if the "Czar" has to take a few weeks to get up to date.

quote:

The White House has informed a U.S. House of Representatives Committee that the newly appointed U.S. Ebola "czar" will not be available to testify later this week at a hearing examining the U.S. response to the deadly virus, a committee official said.

However, the official said that the White House had informed the committee that Klain has not officially started his job and would not be able to attend. Administration officials said Klain is scheduled to officially start as Ebola "czar" on Wednesday.

He may be late to the game, M...but this game will go for a lot longer than what this mild and limited outbreak will. That politically-incorrect bug will likely march across Africa, and mutate as is goes. Mass panic and exodus. Somebody had better be laying the foundation for responses that are far more efficient than what we just witnessed. Or Obama's legacy will be seriously smudged.

Or, I predict he will take credit for stopping the spread of Ebola in the U.S. and Obama will praise him for doing it.

This must be a very serious crisis: Obama is calling in the Klain to help.



A hack calls in another hack.

Also, Obama has actually handled this perfectly. I think he is retarded when it comes to a lot of things but he has been pretty much perfect on the Ebola issue.

Great! Another hearing.

Does Issa believe he has some kind of national appeal? .. Because he doesn't .

I agree. I do find it funny that he chose to invite Dr. Nicole Lurie instead of the hot FDA chick (Brazilian or Columbian?)

I was disappointed more people didn't find an excuse to ask her questions in the last hearing.

If there is no other infection and both nurses make it through it will look great for him. In hindsight, it appears that the disease isn't extremely contagious until things fall apart for one of the patients.

Don't worry, he's a knighted bureaucrat now. They'll find some place to put him to frick something up.

Question.

Are we going back to Benghazi, IRS or WAR ON CHRISTMAS after this scandal?

I'd like to actually get answers about the IRS issue, but we never will.

All of the diehard Republicans on this site, which is most posters, that freaked out Ebola just frickED up! The liberal media made it an issue, republicans freaked out, it is NOT an issue, and not republicans are going to look retarded when Obama wis right all along 2 weeks before elections.

"Obama wis right" to plan on quarantining our troops 21 days on their return from Liberia, but not to quarantine Liberians traveling from Liberia?

Really?

Now who's the alarmist? When Ebola fades away (pretty much now), people will still remember the past 6 years, republicans will still have a higher turnout and the election will go on as it would have. The only real concern about this election is the high early voting. Tends to bode well for Democrats.

Right here right now NC_Tigah: If one person was infected by Vinson does she become a person who made really bad decisions in your eyes? How about if she infects 5 people?
