Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar - CNN.com

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama will appoint Ron Klain his "Ebola czar," knowledgeable sources tell CNN.

The president on Thursday signaled his openness to the idea to have one individual coordinating the entire federal response to any threat of an outbreak in the United States.

Am I the only one who finds it less than reassuring for a man to be officially named the "Ebola Czar"?

What's with Obama and his "czar" fetish?

Wait - a lawyer and a political operative to be in charge of an international health crisis?:shock: Nobody hanging around with any kind of practical experience in the industry he could find?

This appears to be "deflect the heat off yourself with a BS artist<". And if he's working with -homeland security- they might be anticipating for some areas or cities to be quarantined.

Probably will have to postpone the mid-terms due to the threat.

I didn't know who he was, so I scanned the article. He's a political hack! WTH? You're post is spot on.

If something goes wrong, he now has someone else to point the finger at.
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

Three cases of Ebola, and now we have an "Ebola czar"?

Sounds to me like a cushy job given for political payback.

That this "czar" is not a health professional but a political hack makes it even more clear that it is simply political payback.

In other words, business as usual in Washington.

Obama creates Czar positions for much the same reason as an iguana grows a new tail.

Who?

CNN said:
(CNN) – Ron Klain, former chief of staff for Vice President Al Gore, has agreed to serve in the same post under Vice President-elect Joe Biden, a Democratic source involved in the transition tells CNN.

Klain also served as general counsel of Gore's Florida recount effort, and was recently portrayed by Kevin Spacey in an HBO movie about the event. Reached by CNN, Klain would not confirm or deny reports he had accepted the position, but the Democratic source said it was a "done deal."

Klain previously worked with Biden when he served as chief counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee in the early 1990's. At that time, Biden was chairman of the committee.

Klain is a graduate of Georgetown University and Harvard Law School.

Ahh...Another Harvard Law School politician in charge..... :lamo

What could POSSIBLY go wrong!?
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

How about just naming a surgeon general?
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

How many Czars are regarded as all knowing and great? Obama cannot shed the cloak of ignorance he was born with.
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

I know if I start to feel Ebola symptoms, the first person I'm calling is my lawyer.

He's now able to shed the cloak of responsibility... he can't think himself out of a wet paper bag but the man knows how to shirk responsibility like a champ.]

EDIT:

You know who should be in charge of this? A germaphobe doctor. Germaphobes would see every single instance of possible transmission and shut it off. The doctor part of them would know how to navigate hospital administration and get protocols put in place quickly.

Oh, me too. I know if I'm injured in a car accident the first person to call is a lawyer. I saw it in a TV ad, so I know it must be right.
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

Does this mean the right wing is going to go into overload "Oh God Czar! Obama and his damn Czars! So un-American" mode again?

Awesome, that instills absolute confidence.

Finally, he's done what we've been waiting for, he's grown Government ( one Czar at a time ) even more.

Reminds me of communism. He wants to fundamentally change the country, loves, socialism/statism. So sure, he's going to use Statist terms.

Oh wait. Are people on the left actually going to say it's just a term, Obama is all for Capitalism, the Constitution, limited government and personal freedom? Obviously, he wants that for himself, but not us. can't wait to see that.

Snort! That just makes way too much sense.

I love this! "Obama and the CDC should of done something!". Obama does something "GREAT! Hes growing the size of the government!". Just more proof that pathetic hacks on the right will denounce anything even if at one time they were for it.

Well you know.... you can't let a good crisis go to waste.
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

It is of course, all political. The gentleman running to unseat Al Franken up here is starting to use it as an issue, and suggested that Obama needed to appoint a "cabinet level" advisor to handle it:

called on President Barack Obama to appoint a cabinet member to coordinate disease response.

In appeals to voters, McFadden seizes on Ebola and Franken pushes women's health | Star Tribune

If the GOP decides to turn it into an issue (which some of their more desperate candidates are), well...

You're right, of course, but for an additional reason.
This guy has been around a very long time as a Party mover & shaker and his accomplishments are suspect, if not corrupt, to say the least.
