    I suppose I should have said: How many czar positions have been created in the past 10 years?

    Ebola doesn't transmit that way ... unless you have a nice, wet one.

    He has to do this as morans who hate government irrationally are already trying to use as the couple of ebola cases as a reason to try to get more of these morans elected in November. So sad.

    Those guys are almost as bad as the sheeple who blindly trust government and think that government always acts in the best interest of the populace.

    Why does the president bow to "morans"? Why not release a statement that ebola is under control and congress is a bunch of grandstanding tards. Tell the USA that the people HE PUT IN CHARGE of the CDC and BARDA and NIAID are taking care of business?

    Bowing to public fear isn't leadership.

    Agree completely.

    Unfortunately you have fear mongers on both sides stirring up a frenzy.

    If Ebola was called something boring and non-exotic like "the Smith Virus," would people still freak out over it?

    I think so much of the panic comes from Ebola's African sounding name and people, especially the Fox News viewers, are afraid of Africa.

    As much as a you may want to, you can't limit the irrational reactions to Fox News viewers this time.

    SARS and the bird flu got an equal amount of media attention at the time. Heck, my university even canceled our summer session in Singapore because of SARS, which was ridiculous.

    Jindal is more focused on mocking Obama than helping Louisiana apparently.
