Sad, but not surprising news.

Do you think this is not surprising because you know Obama, and his indecisive way is putting America in danger for ebola and terrorism, or that you are just not surprised, surprised?

I am not surprised because it is such a contagious disease. I have been surprised in the past when Ebola broke out in Africa that is was held in check. I knew it was only a matter of time before Ebola would be carried to other countries. We have just been lucky up to now.

Obama, no, not his fault. Not is it the fault of the Spanish prime minister, Mariano Rajoy Brey, that there is a case in Spain. Was it Wilson's fault that so many died in the US in 1918 because of the Spanish flu?

Dude, calm down. BO is ....well we know what he is & isnt. But guaranteed, if this gets into NYC....watch out.

What I find interesting is when this first came out yesterday, the hospital said that all precautions were followed and everything was done properly in treating the first guy. Now the CDC says that there was a breech of protocol that resulted in this woman being infected.

I hate to be cynical but it sounds like the CDC is throwing this woman under the bus in order to prevent panic.

Seriously dude? Like EWF said, chill. Not everything wrong here is O's fault. As someone else said in another thread, the US is the largest hub of international travel, where else would we expect it to go?

Obama could have said no to people coming in from Africa. He could have done the same with Mexican and South Americans coming in unchecked. That said seems no matter what precautions used didn't seem to totally protect in the end no matter how carefully they tried at the hospital. I agree seems they threw the worker under the bus like Obama did our country.
