"Ron Klain, will not calm fears" - Serious Freaking Understatement [SFU]

You can call him a partisan, but once the polling data comes out, I suspect that it will prove this observation as on point. He supports a proposed travel ban on West African countries that the administration opposes, saying some of its arguments are “absurd.” Murphy also said the so-called Ebola czar that the president appointed to oversee the federal response, Ron Klain, will not calm fears. “The American people are looking for knowledge and expertise,” he told Fox News. “He has none in these fields.” It is a tangential conversation whether we [are yet] to the point where folks should be personally afraid, but putting a PR Flak in charge of the national threat of a Level 4 Contagion sounds like something that Monty Python would do. Ah, just a moment, here we are, The Ministry of Silly Walks .

Send the National Guard to Fight - Stupid Government Ideas

Refining the level of incompetent miss-use of our military. President Barack Obama issued an executive order on Thursday paving the way for the deployment of National Guard and Reserve forces to West Africa to help contain the Ebola outbreak there. Under the   mandate , the secretaries of defense and homeland security can order to active duty some members of the Selected Reserve and the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization. To which, Americans are responding with: ‘OH HELL NO!’ OUTRAGE MEETS OBAMA PLAN TO SEND NATL. GUARD TO LIBERIA TO FIGHT EBOLA This really does sound like something out of  SNL parody skit; send people trained and to protect their own communities to 'fight' a Level 4 Pathogen in Africa.
