And Obama still refuses to stop flights from West Africa to the US...probably because he has an African family background
The man's a fool, basically America is now in a situation where many people are under close watch and nobody really knows if the virus has gotten out. They are playing the waiting game because bottom line...America has f**ked up, and Obama could have stopped it easily from day one.
When you write ignorant stuff like that, you can't blame people around here for making a mockery out of your comments. Just saying...
Ignorant how? are you saying America isn't in this situation? you don't think Obama's background might have an influence on his decisions here? Is that ignorance, really? is this a PC slap on the wrist or merely a head in the sand moment? Didn't expect that from you Eva.
America isn't in 'this situation' - Western Africa
is.
As for Obama - he had no authority over how a hospital board in Texas decided to handle a potential Ebola patient. That's their call according to US health regulations. And next it becomes a state level case. And after that, a federal level case where the President
can make policies for the individual states to follow.
The Texas case is what happens when local authorities
don't follow the guidelines already outlined to you by the best specialists in the field. That's hardly Obama's fault. Right now, he's taking the advice from the experts - people who have dealt with scenarios like this their entire career. And their consensus is clear: if you want to effectively beat Ebola (and prohibit it spreading to other continents), pool your efforts and resources where the outbreak is active, not in US airports or whatever. I'll trust the experts.
