Ebola Eboli and a Navy Corpseman

If there is one thing you can say about president Obama, it's that he is consistently incompetent. It's not just the economy anymore. It isn't Obamacare either. It's the planning of military strategy to combat ISIS and his strategy to deal with Ebola.
Ebola virus

We have a president who calls a Navy corpsman a "corpseman" and calls Ebola, "Eboli." And to expect that he knows anything about either the military or medicine is like expecting a gerbil to know the rules of golf.

In fact, the President of the Private Practice Doctors organization stated the government's lack of urgency to secure our borders and the inbound flights coming here from West Africa and their inability to properly screen people with fevers, has put Americans in danger of contracting the deadly virus. The Ebola protocols have been undermined and incompetence abounds.

Over 3000 people have already been killed by Ebola as the virus has quickly spread across Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

Dr. Reed Wilson, a renowned cardiologist, is highly critical of the administration's handling the Ebola crisis.

"We are relying on the failed governments of West African nations to do the screening of their citizens and travelers," Wilson said. "We are depending on Third World, untrained individuals to be the bulwark for the U.S.A. to prevent mass death. This should not bring comfort to the ears of American citizens."

The executive director of the Association of Physicians and Surgeons said that entry into the U.S.A. must halt in order to stop the spread of the virus.

So what does the White House do? 

Well, according to White House officials they say they are not considering a travel ban from West African nations that have an Ebola breakout because they have a "sophisticated multi layer screening system."

So how's that multi layer screening system working out for us? A symptomatic man from Liberia flew here from that nation to Texas where he came into contact with about 100 or so individuals. He vomited all over the apartment complex where he was staying and men in tee shirts cleaned up his messes.

I cannot name one thing president Obama has done that showed a true sense of competence or even a true sense of, well, truth. Even with this latest problem, he is handling it like a person who has no idea of what he's doing.

I would sooner trust my neighbor's cat with my tuna sandwich.
