Just a politician working the media show. Believing that anything that is opposite the sitting precedent will sound good and get notice within the party.

Just wait till the kids that came in contact with the man currently in the Texas hospital come down with their own case of Ebola before elections.
The CDC just lost all credibility as far as I’m concerned. They are playing the Obama game of leading from behind. Jerks.

If the UN wasn't the useless organization it is they would have had the WHO institute a travel ban under their aegis. Instead everybody waits to see what the G-20 countries do.

In the meantime ineffective measures are put in place for screenings that do nothing of the sort and infected people are able to move about more or less at will.

So now we already have at LEAST one infected person getting through the the bad joke of a security program meant to contain Ebola.

If you don't contain flights, you don't contain the spread.

While Ebola victims have a better chance of survival in the USA it is only common sense to keep persons coming from the African nations where it is rampant from entering the country. However, commons sense is not a commodity easily found in the Obama Regime or the demon-crat playbook.

During an interview, the head of the CDC was asked why not temporarily ban travel from West African countries? He gave the standard approved answer, however, there was a slight hesitation to respond and his expression was one which revealed he agreed, but could say so in public.

If a person shows symptoms within 3 days of exposure, why are we not placing people who have travelled to exposed areas within that timeframe in quarantine?

I heard that airhead speak yesterday. She is a typical Progressive, and it makes that particular agenda all that much clearer. How much more guilty can we be made to feel than by closing the airways to those poor, unfortunate countries that do not have our health care? How else can we be made to feel so wretched that those poor countries have to suffer so--it is so unfair!!!! This whole pile of feces is what we are supposed to believe is best for us and our families... If Ayn didn't mention something like Ebola, she certainly DID call the idiocrats exactly right, down to their phony compassion! An entire country is falling for these sleezes and their line of nonsense. What angers me is that they are using this horrid disease as just one more weapon to bring our last bastion of free thought down into the muck, playing on our finest qualities to destroy us.

There must have been something good that came out of Africa...

Still trying to understand why Ebola is causing such fear and attention vs.
Malaria and the Flu kill which kill so many more people per year in the world (and the US) than Ebola. Malaria and the Flu deaths are just staggering : Malaria 600,000+ influenza: 400,000+ .
Ebola...3,500.
Wash your hands and correctly use DDT.... if death is the actual concern.

I have two thoughts on this situation:
First, our ignoble president wants the African countries to do the screening so he doesn't have to spend the money to supply the TSA with screening equipment.
Second, that the virus will mutate and become airborne in the US so he can declare marshal law so he can take all our guns away.
Or maybe we'll become Z-Nation.

Here's the comment I posted on that site in reply...

"Thanks, Bobby... and will your legislative ban include everyone who may have started their air travel in an Ebola-affected country and then flown through ANY OTHER country on the planet?

Here's hoping for ANY better-thought-out, simpler and more-effective "idea." "

The Ebola situation is right out of an old Tom Clancy novel.
