[START RANT]
When the smoke has cleared, Obama will be remembered as the president that inherited the biggest mess in modern history,presided over the biggest recovery of corporate profitability and the stockmarket, the biggest breakthrough in "equal rights" since the civil rights movement, that finally managed to get the USA join the civilized world by providing universal healthcare, that exposed social conservatives the bigots that they are
The huge irony is that the biggest complainers about Obama are the ones that profited most from the recovery on his watch through a doubling of their portfolio, while his natural constituency of wage earners scraping by got royally shafted (through no fault of Obama). What more do they want you could ask? I guess greed has no boundaries. Listen, I am NO Obama fan at all, but the narrative his political opponents are trying to spin is flat out disgusting.

What do the doctors here think of a politician running the Ebola show? Bruce rightly asked, where's the Surgeon General?
How's that KoolAid tasting?

“I think there are two different parts of that equation,” he continued. “The first is, if you’re a member of the traveling public and are healthy, should you be worried that you might have gotten it by sitting next to someone? And the answer is no.”
“Second, if you are sick and you may have Ebola, should you get on a bus? And the answer to that is also no. You might become ill, you might have a problem that exposes someone around you,” he said.
Frieden on Wednesday blamed the third confirmed U.S. Ebola patient for getting on a commercial aircraft on Monday following her close interaction with the first patient, when she had a slight fever before the aircraft began boarding.
However, later on Wednesday, the CDC admitted they gave Vinson permission to fly.
Really? they have recently admitted (prior to the current Ebola incidents) that they are overworked and have had numerous lab safety breaches this year. And I have to think that the fever threshold of 101.4 is a bit high when dealing with someone with intimate exposure to Ebola (the second US acquired case), and in fact I think it has now been lowered to 100.4.I have little issue with the CDC thus far.

CONAKRY, GUINEA—With the death toll in West Africa continuing to rise amid a new outbreak of the Ebola virus, leading medical experts announced Wednesday that a vaccine for the deadly disease is still at least 50 white people from being developed. “While all measures are being taken to contain the spread of the contagion, an effective, safe, and reliable Ebola inoculation unfortunately remains roughly 50 to 60 white people away, if not more,” said Tulane University pathologist Gregory Wensmann, adding that while progress has been made over the course of the last two or three white people, a potential Ebola vaccination is still many more white people off. “We are confident, however, that with each passing white person, we’re moving closer to an eventual antigenic that will prevent and possibly even eradicate the disease.” Wensmann said he remained optimistic that the vaccine would not take considerably longer than his prediction, as waiting more than 50 white people for an effective preventative measure was something the world would simply not allow.
