It all fits when we actually come to terms with what "they're" goal is.
Where in the world is the US surgeon general is all this? I haven't seen a statement about not smoking ebola, or how to put on a condom for ebola. But yet we are witness to yet another bureaucracy.

Obama's answer to everything is create another
$100K czar job and make it somebody else's
problem, not his. I hear he was livid in the cabinet
meeting on Wed that they had let this get out of
hand. Obama leads by delegating to underlings,
always a recipe for disaster.
Maybe the new czar will look into this complex method of disease prevention.

Just want to point out it was originally the Republicans demanding an ebola czar claiming Obama wasn't doing enough http://news.yahoo.com/gop-senators-who-opposed-obama-%E2%80%9Cczars%E2%80%9D-now-want-one-for-ebola-192811900.html or here is Fox and Friends http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/10/13/fox-amp-friends-wants-an-ebola-czar-after-sugge/201131 . But clearly when he does appoint one he is the most evil person imaginable and has no idea of what to do on his own.

Quote: KeyserYou're missing the point. Like Obama the czar isn't qualified to lead. He's just another attorney actor!!!
He is just another actor, putting on a show. They are all acting.

I don't think we have a Surgeon General right now. Another Obummer.

Hardly Obama's fault that there is no attorney general he appointed a qualified person who senate republicans refused to confirm.
Quote: Mr.VHis responsibilities are more managerial than medical.
Ok, then again, why would you want another f*%#ing attorney!
Administrators, and managers lead. Attorneys litigate and blame. I believe that we don't need to blame any more nurses for contracting Ebola, while putting their lives in danger. And I don't think we're going to beat Ebola by suing it. Do you?
What we need is real experience and leadership. Bring in a former Surgeon General, or someone from the office of the Surgeon General. We must have someone that understands infectious disease, not just another f#$%ing attorney!!!
Good grief, this country needs leadership! Political correctness is killing us.

Which law firm did he work for?
Quote: mickeycrimmWhich law firm did he work for?
Funny but he was a doctor at Harvard medical school http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_Murthy. Senate republicans refuse to confirm him because he dared to say there should be gun laws, something he as surgeon general would have no power over anyway.
Edit: Accidentally put attorney rather then surgeon the post was about surgeon general.

Wait a second here, are we talking about the "surgeon general" or the attorney general? We have an attorney general known to his friends as "Place Holder"

Yeah I meant surgeon had a brain fart when I was typing.
1. He has no medical background.
2. He is a known heavy hitting political operative for the Democrats.
He knows his way around, which is what you want.
Oh sure, the notion of bringing in an outsider with a brilliant medical background sounds good in theory, but he'd be like a deer in the headlights in Washington D.C. and would flounder for awhile until he got up to speed, and by then it would be too late.

That is enough to keep the Doctor out of the office at this point; it isn't just those dastardly Republicans. Reid has no way to win right now...
That's a heck of a qualification. Klain himself told The NY Times that his job would be "messaging." So that's all that's really needed now. Right. Just ask Putin, ISIS, Iran, Syria, Crimea, Turkey and North Korea, among quite a few others, just how that's working out.Quote: MrVSo what? He knows his way around, which is what you want.

Wow. Just wow. So the guy comes out and says the media and BOTH sides are blowing this way out of whack at this point and you think he is reading the Dem/Lib talking points? I believe you arr wrong on this one, sir--he basically blew up both sides and the media.
We have three cases of Ebola that were not known to us before they happened--in other words, not counting the ones we brought back from overseas with the disease and following proper precautions. Three. A guy comes back from overseas; he has the disease. Two people who attended to his care got it before everyone started using proper precautions. That is it for now; though that could change, of course.
For that, we have a full-fledged panic in both parties. The President canceling stuff and acting like a leader (which I believe he should have done long ago on many issues) and the Republicans saying there is no leadership. The news media all over the place looking for preppers and the like.
It isn't that there is nothing going on...it is just that there is way less than there should be going on to cause the ruckus going on now...
Quote: RonCWow. Just wow. So the guy comes out and says the media and BOTH sides are blowing this way out of whack.
He's saying what ALL the libs are saying,
don't worry, don't fret, it's an election year,
nothing is happening. They can't know that
and neither can Shep Smith. They just want
it all to be calm until the election is over.
You can take it to the bank that we know
about 30% of what's really going on with
Ebola.

Did you even watch it? He called out the President for acting like he was leading and the opposition for saying that he wasn't...making a political issue out of the whole thing on both sides.
It is silly to believe that there is much more to the story at this point--anyone showing symptoms of Ebola will be a news story instantly. They won't be able to hide it...and it doesn't appear that they have done so yet.
Could there be more to come about the story? Yes. Should we be hiding in our basements only speaking to the world using the internet at this point? Of course not. Well, unless you are Mark Levin or...

heard of it being a potential Obola
problem.

OMG how much longer is Benghazi going to be talked about. Congressional hearings found no wrongdoing. This was a house hearing also so the group run by Republicans found no wrong doing how much more are we going to beat it to death.
Also the big attack claiming that the terrorist were motivated by a movie turned out to at least be partially true http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/06/17/captured-alleged-benghazi-ringleader-was-report/199771 .

Could it just be that there really isn't anything to see here? Just because your enemies are always looking for something to tar you with doesn't mean you should be tarred. All the stuff you mention seems more like throwing the spaghetti at the wall to see what will stick than actually finding something reprehensible to confirm a bias.
Quote: TwirdmanOMG how much longer is Benghazi going to be talked about.
Flaunting a lack of knowledge about major developments like the start-up of the Select Committee, Panetta's scalding account and naming of names and the newly released startlingly detailed statements by the front-line operatives assigned to protect American territory and officials does not amount to much more than handwaving. Watergate, for instance, was ignored for an egregious length of time by practically all the news media and the public, and it didn't even involve the sodomization and murders of high American officials.Quote: TwirdmanCongressional hearings found no wrongdoing.

I don't count on much from the government. I don't trust the President. I don't trust the press to fully report negative news about the President. I don't trust Democrats. I don't trust a lot of "name" Republicans, either. They can hide things that happen in Washington, feed us tidbits and tell us we have full story. I get all of that.
I don't think the President is leading well on Ebola. I think the Republicans should have publicly asked for a vote on the Surgeon General to put the Democrats who are scared about supporting him due to the upcoming election on the record as either for, against, or present...or whatever they call it there.
I don't think they can "cover-up" Ebola. Every case has been a huge story. We will see in the Ebola story what they do well and what they fail at. For example, the CDC Director's testimony was shameful. He had no idea about the plane flight situation or lied about it. It is pretty well documented that he acted clueless as to what exactly happened.
There just aren't that many cases to warrant the full panic mode.

Absurd.
This country is Ebola Free from spreading.
no new cases in this country.

You are wrong, just like EB. The Democrats were using this, too. They attempted to score points on leadership (the President canceled a trip when he hasn't done that for many other things AND everyone consistently tells us he can lead even from the golf course), on the Surgeon General issue (but why hasn't Harry forced a vote)?, etc.
BOTH sides attempted to leverage this story. BOTH sides wanted to feed the panic. BOTH sides saw a potential political advantage...BOTH SIDES.

It's mostly a non-issue for the US...but until people more selfless than you or I (doctors from America to help the Ebola crisis in Africa) are not forced to quarantine themselves within Africa for at least a month, we will have this small threat of Ebola in the US. I also would love to poll the doctors' from the US helping to treat Ebola in Africa political affiliation.
Quote: EvenBobThe lib press is saying it's

Pretty sure I heard the lib press report the disease is still trending in the wrong direction in Africa. As long as that continues, it is not over.
This is a more updated news on the Ebola in my neck of the woods.
Ebola is a deadly disease. We should be cautious and work to understand the disease and prevent it from spreading. What we shouldn't do, and we are doing too much of, is panic.
We say that it is inefficient to close the borders and/or sequester people for 21 days or so after they visit any country where there is Ebola. That seems like a prudent step that has worked already in other countries, but our government is unwilling to take it. That means we are going to risk allowing a certain amount of people into the country that may have he disease on arrival. With the inefficient way Ebola spreads, as opposed to the flu and other easily-spread diseases, that isn't a terrible decision though it may not be the right one.
You can make fun of Shep Smith, call him a Liberal, call him Fox guy or whatever, but the bottom line as of today is that the flu will kill many more people than Ebola will in the coming months.
