President Barack Obama on Friday turned to a trusted adviser to lead the nation's Ebola response as efforts to clamp down on any possible route of infection from three Texas cases expanded, reaching a cruise ship at sea and multiple airline flights.
Facing renewed criticism of his handling of the Ebola risk, Obama will make Ron Klain, a former chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden, his point man on fighting Ebola at home and in West Africa. Klain will report to national security adviser Susan Rice and to homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco, the White House said.
Maryland Republican Congressman Andy Harris, who is also a physician, says Klain is not qualified for the job since he is a lawyer and not a doctor.

Dumbest thing yet!
ReplyDeleteThis is spin control, nothing else. If even the most die hard dems & libs can't see how absurd this is, then we may as well roll over and all give up. This man is so unqualified for this "fight" against Ebola it is absurd. All this man is good for is trying to portray the White House in the best light possible. This truly shows that the prez cares nothing for the people.
ReplyDeleteBack in 2007 Obola made a speech saying lobbyists don't finance his campaigns and none will ever get a job in his admin if he is elected.
ReplyDeleteFast forward to yesterday and he choose a lobbyist as the "ebola czar." Not only a lobbyist, but someone who is responsible for wasting millions of dollars and hasn't a clue about infectious disease.
What did you expect from our current idiot?
