No one is blaming him for ebola.  I am merely pointing that two weeks ago he assured the American people that it wasn't coming here.  He was wrong on this issue like he has been wrong on almost everything else.  But you hit on a very valid point.  When we had the SARS scare there was a pretty strong reaction of the government and it was contained.  So far all we have gotten are vague assurances that are quickly refuted by the facts as they trickle out.  And no action as best I can tell to prevent this from happening again.

And ebola is far more deadly than SARS which was a threat mostly to the elderly and young children.  Ebola can kill healthy adults and there is no cure.  And if it is so hard to contract as they keep telling us I have to wonder how the NBC cameraman was exposed.  Was he just running around in a country filled with dying ebola patients and exchanging bodily fluids?  Why do I doubt that unless he had a death wish?  If you take comfort in the assurances coming from this administration and the CDC given how wrong they have been, have at it.  I plan to be a bit more skeptical.

And now we hear that another person in DC may also have ebola.  If true, I suspect they will finally wake up and do something if only to save their own miserable hides.
