Re: Obama: ‘I Felt Perfectly Safe’ Hugging, Kissing Hospital Workers Who Took Care Of
Obama's behavior is disingenuous, and obviously so.
He's basically executing behavior #1 yet telling us that's reason to do behavior #2, and, he knows it.
Behavior #1 is hugging and kissing a woman who actually
had Ebola and who has
recovered and now has the
antibodies throughout her system and has been tested and
no longer has the virus in her.
From a virological standpoint, she has got to be the
safest person in the world to have close contact with regarding not catching Ebola!
In fact, if some of her antibodies get into Obama's system as a result,
he's technically better protected from the disease!
That's behavior #1.
So, what's behavior #2?
Behavior #2 is "don't worry about Ebola, just listen to us about how the disease is spread, and those intelligent real concerns the great majority of you have about Ebola, that we in the administration are hesitant to do much about, if anything, like restricting those from West Africa without a quarantine and making sure hospitals are ready for walk-in Ebola patients and rounding up all those in Harlem who are now at risk because of Spencer and ignoring the evidence in West Africa that the disease can spread in air moisture droplets and ignoring WHO's recent presentation that the correct incubation period is 42 days not 21, and it's okay to kiss and hug someone who's just contracted the virus and hasn't yet shown much if any symptoms 'cause they're really no threat to you, etc.".
Yep, completely different.
But, that's the message this political posturing version of "baby kissing" The President just did is attempting: he's executing behavior #1 and then speaking behavior #2.
And that is so blatantly hypocritical it's disgusting.
So, Mr. President, you want to convey message #2 with an illustration?
Go hug and kiss a person intimately exposed to the virus who's just beginning to show symptoms if any!
Yeah, I'll bet even "you" won't do that to get your message across.
