Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of Ebo

Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

Well, you can bet that these hospital staff were pre-screened before being allowed anywhere near the President, so the controversy is a rather moot point.

He's trying to fulfill the role of calming down the public so that the perception of impending disaster is less prevalent.

What would help is if he actually enacted policy to restrict flights from the infected parts of Africa, which is where all the known U.S. cases originated from, directly or by proxy.

Ebola is not contagious until you are symptomatic. They didn't have a fever, they were fine. You'd be fine having sex with them. This is nothing but fear mongering with a touch of partisan hackery added to the recipe.
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

Are you actually accusing conservatives of wanting the President to get Ebola?
I don't care for political labels but some people certainly have. e.g.;
But please BO expose yourself to ebola all you wish.
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

If he catches Ebola we've still got Joe Biden, eh?

I like Biden. Don't agree with many of his domestic social or tax views, but his international policy views are a lot like mine.
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

I just heard Obama say we can help stop the spread of ebola by allowing travel between Africa and the United States?? wtf!!!!!!

Yet another WTF!
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

I shook hands with, hugged, and kissed, not the doctors, but a couple of the nurses at Emory because of the valiant work that they did in treating one of the patients.

Well, I can say one positive thing about this...

...Good thing this didn't happen during Bill's term or we would've had to add another action to that list of things he probably did to thanks the nurses ;)
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

Did anybody ask the health care workers if they felt safe with Obama hugging and kissing them?
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

Seems to me the hospital in Texas screwed Ebola up.
And no--it is not coincidental that it happened in Texas.



While yer GOP plays politics with Health and Death, I wish Texas had seceded so we could quarantine the state.
And take away their military installations .

But Katrina was the fault of FEMA. If Bush and FEMA were responsible for Katrina then Obama and the CDC are responsible for Ebola. The reality is the mayor of Nawlins and the gov of Louisiana were the culprits in Katrina while with Ebola it really is Obama and the CDC to blame.
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

Kisssing is absolutely normal public contact--just like holding hands.
When's the last time you were outside?

Go to yer local college and/or high school and tell me kissing isn't normal contact .

If you had been exposed to Ebola you would refrain from kissing unless of course it was your dumb ass president puckering up.
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

He visited with nurses WHO HAD CARED for ebola patients. They had followed the universal precations protocols, It was after the fact, and they were symptom free and therefore no threat. If it reassures people unnerved by the torrent of ignorant misinformation that's a good thing.

In case you haven't heard, the protocol was defective and the nurses had not had enough time to be declared safe. It was a really stupid stunt for Obama to pull and shows extreme lack of good judgment.
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

I have to admit, when I read the actual quote in the article, I said to myself - WTF? Is no one telling this guy the truth about anything???

It just doesn't make sense for the most important person in the entire world to put their self at risk like that. No sense at all.

It likely wasn't a real risk.
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

why would you care. You don't want him out of the way now? I find that hard to believe. One would think you'd be pleased with him doing this.

I am not pleased to see his incompetence on display for the world to see.

He was at Emory, not Dallas.

The hospital has made every mistake possible on this and the SS is currently a joke so I will take your bet.

The story on Ebola changes every day and our president kissing nurses who treated an Ebola patient is just plain stupid.
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

It likely wasn't a real risk.

Being that, so far, two of those health care providers have been diagnosed with contracting Ebola... I respectfully disagree.
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

Um.....I think....well it's......um.....I have no damn words.

There's a first for everything. :lamo
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

This guy has the most important job in the US and he is kissing nurses that cared for an ebola patient? Yet another example of Obama's lack of intelligence and IMO another secret service breakdown. They should have said "Mr. president, we can't let you walk out into traffic and we can't let you kiss ebola nurses, now go sit down at your desk little boy and stay away from that red button thingy too. Wouldn't it be interesting if BO got sick because of this.

“I want to use myself as an example just so people have a sense of the science here. I shook hands with, hugged, and kissed, not the doctors, but a couple of the nurses at Emory because of the valiant work that they did in treating one of the patients. They followed the protocols, they knew what they were doing, and I felt perfectly safe doing so,”

Those same nurses felt "perfectly safe" in their inadequate protective gear, too.

You're free to do that, but I suspect if there was any real chance, he wouldn't have done so. I'm sure every precautions was taken and that it is unlikely he will become ill.

I hope you are correct. This is an issue, which unlike many other posters here, you and I seem to understand is not political, and as an American citizen, I am concerned over the health and protection of my President (regardless of what I think of his politics). That alone, is my motivation in this thread.
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

A couple of things.
Obama was talking about something he did a month ago at Emory regarding nurses that cared for Ebola patients who were discharged back in August.
All before the current mess.
Someone ask him if he'd kiss the nurses in Dallas today.
Or ... the acid test ... would he let his kids kiss the nurses in Dallas today.

Yeah, I don't see anything political, but I'm sure there had to be next to no risk or it wouldn't have happened.

Nope. Just scoffing at trolls who all the sudden pretend to care about this presidents well being.
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

Something tells me you'd not be pleased no matter what. Which is the gist of the point I was making.
 
Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of

You are projecting. See, even if a conservative doesn't agree with the Presidents policies, they dont wish him to die from a viral hemorrhagic disease. I realize that this is a foreign concept for the left.

Yep...the left was writing assassination threads in the forum I was in during the Bush era.
