Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar [W:234, 285]

Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

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.


He is, and he's NOT shutting down flights out of West Africa.
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

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?

I know, can't he find a guy that used to run horse shows? ;)

Just kidding, I completely agree.
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

I'm thinking a Dentist might have a greater appreciation of infectious protocols...:shock:

You don't think one of the hackiest among Party hacks can handle the job?

I understand, it seems crazy to question this choice, given the medical nature of the issue, and the consequences from doing the wrong thing. Clearly I'm being partisan here by viewing his choice in such a jaded manner.
 
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:



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...

God, Al Franken is a US Senator. The people of that state should be ashamed.

Wouldnt that grow the size of big bad guberment? Isnt that guberment overreach?
Well first off there are no direct flights from these nations stricken with ebola to the us.
Second off just because you bann flights does not mean you stop it. IT very well could make things worse. People will then travel undetected.

Clearly. What isn't a harvard educated lawyer qualified to do these days.

Dang. You're right. That Harvard thing again. They certainly put the "I" (as in "I" am qualified to do anything) in Ivy League.

The only thing I can think of is suffering pangs of humility.

Is there nothing Obama says that you won't repeat?

How does one travel from Africa without a plane, boat, or Visa.
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

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



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?

I could not care less about his title or if the right is obsessed with the word CZAR. I simply want this problem to be dealt with and I hope this is the guy to do it.

Yes, to check a passport " Grows Government "....jeesh

And where did Duncan come from ?
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

Didnt hear that from Obama....


How does one travel from Africa without a plane, boat, or Visa.
1.)Human traffickers
2.)First fly to a neighboring country and enter from there

But this leads to this country. If we are banning flights, you do realize there are no direct flights from these ebola stricken countries to the USA, right?
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

Yes, to check passport " Grows Government "....jeesh
So you dont wanna ban flights, you wanna ban people...


And where did Duncan come from ?
From Liberia. Flew from Brussels.
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

Well hold on a minute ... maybe Klain knows what Inherent Resolve means ... if he does we can name him the 5 Star General ISIL Czar too.

Two things are inevitable, the disease is already here in the wild and going to kill. To what degree, I'd say it depends on many factors, but I doubt it'll be worse than car accidents. The other is the Media is going to run the story till they've milked it. The rest is up to us. How a czar directing events helps, not sure?
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

So you dont wanna ban flights, you wanna ban people...



From Liberia. Flew from Brussels.


There are these things called PASSPORTS

And written on everyone of them is the travelers point of origin.

Can you even conceive of such a process that would allow us to track a travelers flight path back to where they started from ?

And banning flights or people, " What difference does it make " ?

No more Duncan's.

He said his experts told him it wouldn't work ... but he didn't name his experts or what they allegedly told him.

If they rely on human trafficers you'd be able to tell because (a) human trafficers would be inclined to be suspicious why they want to leave Liberia and (b) human trafficers don't usually wear hazmat suits (kind of a giveaway) and (c) it would still mean far fewer infected people coming, right?

You can't get in without a Visa no matter where you're coming from.
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

So again. You dont want to deny flights you want to deny people. Is this correct?
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

Given his background, wanna bet ol' Ron will mention that the problem is that the DHS needs more money and this whole damn thing is the Republican's fault.
 
Re: Obama will name Ron Klain as Ebola Czar

Cool. Again. I didnt hear it from Obama.


If they rely on human trafficers you'd be able to tell because (a) human trafficers would be inclined to be suspicious why they want to leave Liberia
You realize human traffickers dotn work inside the law, correct?

and (b) human trafficers don't usually wear hazmat suits (kind of a giveaway)
So..

and (c) it would still mean far fewer infected people coming, right?
Again. No. THERE ARE NOT DIRECT FLIGHTS FROM THE COUNTRIES AFFECTED WITH EBOLA TO THE US
