So what would make Barack Obama cancel a fund raiser?
ISIS on the move? Nope. Beheadings of Americans? Nope. On the golf course in ten minutes. A first American Ebola victim? Took a few more minutes, but straight to the golf course. A second beheading victim? Nope.
So what did it take? A poll. Obama’s ratings are sinking faster than the Titanic.
President Barack Obama’s approval rating is at the lowest level of his presidency, a new poll says.
According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Wednesday, 40 percent of Americans approve of Obama’s job performance, the lowest score the poll has recorded since he took office. His rating is down 1 point from September.
Now in panic mode, Obama has canceled fundraisers for Thursday as well. He wants you to know he’s concerned and on the job. It’s all about the optics.
Where did it go wrong for Obama? pleads Amie Parnes at The Hill. Well, Amie, let’s do a little review first.
You can keep your plan no matter what.
You can keep your doctor.
You’ll save $2500 per year.
It’s not a tax.
Shovel ready.
Al Qaeda is on the run
Al Qaeda is decimated
ISIS is the JV
We leave behind a stable and sovereign Iraq
I didn’t set a red line, the world did
I got bad intel
The tide of war is receding
The world is less violent than it has ever been
I ended the war in Iraq.
200 rounds of golf
400 fundraisers
You’d be well advised not to believe a thing Obama says.
Remember when Obama assured us that Ebola wouldn’t see an outbreak on US shores?
First and foremost, I want the American people to know that our experts, here at the CDC and across our government, agree that the chances of an Ebola outbreak here in the United States are extremely low.
It’s hard to believe what has gone down since.
Ebola is a Biosafety Level Four Pathogen. That’s as dangerous as it gets. The use of positive pressure suits is highly recommended when handling the Ebola virus, Ebola victims or any wrappings with which they come into contact, including bed sheets and refuse. What most don’t know is that specific protocols are required not only for contact with Ebola victims but in the removal of the biohazard suits as well.
Despite being assured by Obama and Tom Frieden, the Obama appointed hack who runs the CDC, all is not well.
The Obama regime raided the Gibson guitar factory in 2009 and 2011, claiming that the specific type of wood used in some Gibson guitars is not permitted into this country. Bagpipes have been confiscated at the border.
Gibson guitar wood not allowed in the US.
Bagpipes not allowed in the US.
Ebola? Sure, why not?
Now word comes that the second Ebola victim flew back and forth to Cleveland with a low grade fever the day before she became symptomatic. She even called the CDC before she boarded the plane. The news is chock full of stories that leave you incredulous:
Obama promises ‘much more aggressive’ response to Ebola
Obama cancels campaign trip; vows Ebola ‘SWAT team’
Juxtapose these articles with Curt’s:
Obama: I Hugged and Kissed Nurses Who Treated Ebola Victims
Are you freaking kidding me? We’re not done yet. From our illustrious CDC comes this:
CDC: You Can Give—But Can’t Get—Ebola on a Bus
Obama tell us:
“You Can’t Get Ebola ‘Sitting Next to Someone on a Bus”
At the same time the CDC advises:
‘Avoid Public Transportation’
Here’s the crime in this episode:
The hospital that treated Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan had to learn on the fly how to control the deadly virus, adding new layers of protective gear for workers in what became a losing battle to keep the contagion from spreading, a top official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.
“They kept adding more protective equipment as the patient Duncan deteriorated. They had masks first, then face shields, then the positive-pressure respirator. They added a second pair of gloves,” said Pierre Rollin, a CDC epidemiologist.
The nurses at Texas Health Presbyterian have complained that they were not adequately trained or equipped to handle Ebola.
And they are right. This is not something you learn to deal with on the fly.
The second it was apparent that Duncan had Ebola the CDC should have immediately flown to Dallas, quarantined the patient and isolated everyone around him AND properly outfitted the health care workers. Instead, the feckless Frieden and the uber-feckless Obama continued to reassure the country that this was just another day on the links. They should have been aggressive right from the beginning. They should have had the “SWAT team” ready immediately.
This horse is out of the barn. Let’s hope it can be caught. Obama says:
‘I’m confident we can prevent a serious outbreak’
I am not, especially since Obama said it. Obama has already seeded the country with Enterovirus D 68 in his illegal alien wards. One can’t help but wonder where he will be sending those infected with Ebola. democrats continue to balk at a travel ban. I think it was Britt Hume who suggested travel could be restricted via the VISA process. This isn’t Gibson guitar wood. It’s not bagpipes. It’s a BSL-4 pathogen.
Meanwhile, Michelle Obama dances with turnips.
Clusterf*ck.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
@Budvarakbar: Are you and DKK suggesting this young nurse flew to Ohio to purposely infect fellow Americans?
Talk about “pissing up a rope.”
Well, Obama sure isn’t looking very healthy these days. The chalky and pimple marked facial skin reminds me of the sickly crack and/or meth heads you’d see on that “intervention show”. Must be the “stress” of trying to keep up with all the Tee times. That, his cigarette smoking, and trying to keep his lies straight, have got to be taking a toll on the guy.
One thing is for sure though; he certainly isn’t wearing himself down by acting like the President of the United States.
@Rich+Wheeler:
No, The nurse who traveled called the CDC repeatedly and FOLLOWED what the CDC said. The entire blame for ANY FURTHER CASES and if these two nurses die belongs squarely on the shoulders of CDC Director Tom Frieden and Obummer.
Even the New York times ‘Gets it’
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/10/15/us/changes-to-ebola-protection-worn-by-us-hospital-workers.html
Ebola is level FOUR and that is what is used in AFRICA! Even in full protective gear medical personnel in Africa are getting this disease. We had some of these people flown back to the USA and treated in one of the four hospitals specially equipped to handle this disease so there is ZERO excuse for ignorance on the part of CDC
Yet CDC recommended LEVEL 1 protection to the Dallas nurses. That is only one pair of gloves, gown and face mask leaving clothing and foot wear and parts of the face bare. The nurses were allowed to go from Duncan to other patients tracking Ebola all over the hospital and perhaps home. His samples were sent to the lab via a mail tube not hand carried. At this point the CDC hasn’t the foggiest idea of who has been infected!
And the CDC is SQUARELY RESPONSIBLE!
One point that has not been mention is Duncan was at home sick for a week before the second attempt to get him in the hospital. What happened to Duncan’s garbage during that week? Do not forget rodents like mice, rats, and bats can carry the disease. Rodents love dumpsters in big cities especially apartment dumpsters. Pigs are omnivores. A huge boar eat a neighbors two year old when I was a kid. And pigs can get Ebola and they can transmit it to monkeys.
From Pigs to Monkeys, Ebola Goes Airborne
We had better hope this Fluster Cluck doesnt get any worse especially with Obummer sending 4000 US troops into the Ebola hot spot and only 23 bio-contaiment bed available.
Note Ebola can stay viable in sperm for 90 days….
@GailCombs- Agreed. That’s actually why I suggested that the intent was to infect other people.
@Rich+Wheeler, I am not saying the RN made that decision, I am saying the CDC– whose head was appointed by Barry- made that decision. They had her call as a cover, to make people think that they are actually on top of this.
Morevoer, sending 4000 troops into outbreak countries is designed to bring Ebola into this country.
Senegal and Nigeria have almost eradicated the disease in their countries. How? By CLOSING the borders. Those govts have more brains than ours, a so called super-power.
No, you can bet that this is all a ruse; Barry wants Ebola here and now. But WHY he is doing this is beyond comprehension.
DKK,
How about martial law? How about taking out the US military making the USA ripe for take over?
Or worse Ted Turners DREAM?
“A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”
Ted Turner, founder of CNN the broadcasting company, major UN donor and founder of the United Nations Foundation.
Guess Who is now president of the United Nations Foundation? EX-Senator Tim Wirth.
This is the same Tim Wirth who organized the 1988 Senate hearing at which James Hansen first addressed global warming and convinced Congress to sign the UN Climate Framework Convention. Wirth led the U.S. negotiating team at the Kyoto Summit.
These are Wirth’s words about how he scammed Congress:
This is the SAME Tim Wirth that said: “We’ve got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.” from his Dossier
“In stunning testimony, under oath, before the U.S. House of Representatives, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, John Beale, a former executive of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revealed the EPA’s goal is to “modify the DNA of Capitalism.” Put another way, the entire “Global Warming” crusade has been a complete lie from the start — to attack the free market system — and the people telling this lie KNEW it was a lie when they started telling it! This former EPA executive is now on his way to jail.’ -Turner Radio Network, Jan. 22, 2014
“In the United States, the cap-and-trade is an approach designed to control carbon emissions and will impose huge costs upon American citizens via a carbon tax on all goods and services produced in the United States. The average family of four can expect to pay an additional $1700, or £1,043, more each year. It is predicted that the United States will lose more than 2 million jobs each year as the result of cap-and-trade schemes.” -The European Foundation, Dec 15, 2009
These people are traitors to the USA!
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste”
@DKK:
Exactly — and Saudi Arabia closed off the Hajj to any from 3 West African countries with Ebola problems – 7000 were set to go. They closed it off on AUGUST 5th, 2014! That was over 10 weeks ago!! — These bastards in the WH have set this crap up on purpose! – and the dam RINOs have so far been complicit!
Here’s a link for Rich:
http://www.ibtimes.com/saudi-arabia-blocks-visas-west-african-countries-amid-ebola-crisis-1649292
Uh – are you just now catching on that this SOB and the Marxists and Islamists are out to destroy our country – after 6 years you are asking this?
@DKK: and BUD O.K. Thanks for clarifying—It’s a government conspiracy to infect the populace with Ebola thru unwitting care takers and the 101st airborne bringing the disease stateside. This will allow Obama to declare martial law. Is that it?
Don’t stand under that rope. You’ll get soaked.
You two are even more fun than 05 and RT.
@Rich Wheeler:
Glad to be of help.
Now you should get over to the new WMD blog entry! I am sure we can all use you liberal “wisdom”
Aren’t you the one under the rope — I do not even know where your piss rope is – and do not care!
@Budvarakbar: I checked in at WMD blog about 45 minutes ago. Please try and keep up.
Can you give me an approx. ETA for BHO’S declaration of martial law?? Will he be securing all citizen’s weapons prior to his declaration?
I wanna get ready. Semper Fi
@Budvarakbar- shows what a newbie I am. I have twice posted a lengthy response, and twice been erased when I went to get a supporting site.
In short, I have known since 2007 that barry was something unlike all the other politicos. Never before had I doubted that anyone running for president was a patriot– until him. And after I learned about him- his friendships with Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers, Frank Davis, Louis Farrakhan, his communist parents, his friendship with Jeremiah (“God damn America”) Wright, the fact that his “church” did not allow whites to become members, and had an anti American mission statement (all taken off the website once he started a real run in 2008), his bowing to muslim leaders, his birth, school, educational and health records sealed by Executive Order, his “siccing” the IRS on conservative groups, his racking up $5 trillion in debt in only 4 years, his race baiting- knee jerk criticism of white Sgt Crowley but an immediate defense of muslim Nidal hassan’s murder of 12 people, his statement that “When the winds of change turn ugly, I will side with the muslims,” his support to overthrow the Egyptian govt that had been an ally to Israel in order to allow the Muslim Brotherhood to take over–to name a few– I knew he wanted to damage the US. (Remember his slogan in 2008? “We live in the greatest country in the world. Now let’s change it”)
When I learned he refused to help Chris Stevens and 3 other men who could have been saved had Barry sent troops to Benghazi from Italy, and that he could not bear to watch the SEALS take down binLaden, I knew he was a traitor.
And his change is to destroy the US, not just damage it. He is having much more trouble destroying us politically, because people are finally on to him. That’s why he is doing nothing but TALK when it comes to Ebola- he has taken no action that would do any appreciable good. Now he is going to let a virus do what he was unable to do.
There is no other rational conclusion.
@DKK: Can you confirm my #’s 49 and #58–is this what you believe?
Answer my#60? Thanks
Is all hope lost??
@RichWheeler, you didn’t say anything at #49.
I am new here and have no idea what the rope refers to in 58 but if it is urine, I don’t respond to pubescent, personal attacks. Say something with substance, and I will respond. But I don’t do personal attacks.
I have no idea what barry is planning. Yes, since he couldn’t destroy the country politically, he is happy to let a virus do it instead. But what I want to know is WHO is pulling his strings? No one can be this obviously detrimental to the US and do it alone. I think he is a good looking, eloquent- on -the- teleprompter puppet. A puppet, being run by someone else, or a group of someones, hell bent on pushing the US in a different direction. But who are they?
@DKK: You say barry is happy to let a virus destroy the U.S.
You lost me with barry.
BTW When he spoke of standing with Muslims he was referring to American citizens.
Perhaps he’s a Manchurian Candidate? Born in Kenya and controlled by Russian operatives?
@Rich Wheeler:
Barry is the nick name that Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. went by until he went political.
Obviously, his actions belie that claim. When the term “jihadist” has been removed from military training manuals, something untoward is going on. That’s like FDR ordering military training manuals to refer to the Nazis as “disgruntled German nationalists.”
What kind of an Administration won’t allow the enemy to be named?
@retire05: I know derivation of Barry–she is obviously using “barry” derisively.
Do you think the POTUS is happy to let a virus destroy the U.S.? I find that comment absurd.
@Rich Wheeler:
So what? Did you correct all your Left Coast liberal friends when they called President Bush derisive names? Somehow, I think you probably laughed along with them.
No, I don’t. But I also don’t think Obama is capable of handling any disaster on U.S. soil. He’s an empty suit that managed to convince millions of whites that their white guilt was reason enough to elect him; twice.
Who cares?
@DKK:
“….A puppet, being run by someone else, or a group of someones, hell bent on pushing the US in a different direction. But who are they?….”
First a couple of quotes and then a SWAG.
Pascal Lamy was the Director -General of the World Trade Association.
Lamy makes it clear that doing away with independent sovereign nations ( Peace of Westphalia 1648) is the goal and has been since the 1930s. We of course were never consulted.
This is why the attack by Progressives is always against the middle class and not the wealth elite, our ‘natural superiors.’
George Bernard Shaw was co-founder of the Fabian Society. The Fabians founded the London School of Economics (LSE) which trains the world’s foremost political, economic, banking and industry leaders such as David Rockefeller and George Soros. Both Pascal Lamy, Bill Clinton and Tony Blair lecture at LSE. Of interest is the recent ‘discovery’ of the Fabian Stained Glass window designed by George Bernard Shaw and hung at LSE with Tony Blair as Master of Ceremonies and IIRC Bill Clinton in attendance. Note the wolf in a sheepskin shield above Sidney Webb and Shaw striking the Earth with hammers to “REMOULD IT NEARER TO THE HEART’S DESIRE,”
A quote from George Bernard Shaw shows the type of world he has in mind for us:
Sure sounds like slavery or at best serfdom to me.
John Holdern, Obama’s Science czar wrote in his book Human Ecology: Problems and Solutions
So only ‘Socialists’ are human the rest of us are not. That explains a lot doesn’t it?
My SWAG is the Fabians and their buddies the Bank of England and the international bankers are behind the current mess and the messed for the last hundred years or more. Karl Marx was funded by a banker, Gerard Philips, while he was writing. And a communist cartoonist shows FDR and Wall Street greeting Karl Marx with enthusiastic handshakes in Robert Minor’s cartoon DEE-LIGHTED (a bit of history is included so it is worth reading)
Bill Clinton’s mentor was Carroll Quigley. Here are excerpts from the books he wrote:
The Anglo-American Establishment
Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time
Other book excerpts of interest:
Wall Street and the Rise of Hitlerby Anthony C. Sutton
H.G.Wells was another founding member of the Fabian Society. H.G.Wells, in ‘The Open Conspiracy’ is explained here: The Committee of 300: The Conspirator’s Hierarchy by John Coleman
DR?
lulz. cracker jack box degree maybe from what I read here
@Sean: Your WHOLE post:
Did this get screwed up or were you actually trying to say something?
@budvarakbar- he wasn’t saying anything. Anyone can take a cheap shot, few can support their position.
I enjoyed reading your post. What an education. It puts so much into perspective, including why the present socialists- Barry, Hilary and their socialist ilk- live the lives of capitalist millionaires , make sure their kids marry Goldman guys whose fathers are criminals and have no plans to join the masses.
You folks are incredibly well read, which is why I have stayed in the background and only opined on what I live and know. But I do know what I see and read, and I don’t live in sound bites.
