The president is now paying attention. He has to. Ebola has reached "crisis stage," according to his minions.
Ebola is not passed from person to person easily. Two health care workers are sick from Ebola, after dealing with now deceased Ebola Thomas Eric Duncan in Dallas. One of the health care workers is doing well, and the other flew to Cleveland before she was visibly sick, and therefore, we are told, before she was contagious.
The new Ebola case in the United States who flew to Cleveland may have exposed over 50 people. The politicians in the White House want you to be afraid. They want you to panic, just like the Stock Market is doing right now. Crisis is, after all, the opportunity for government to do things they could not normally do.
Today, President Obama cancelled a fundraising trip to convene a special meeting regarding the spread of Ebola in the United States, and worldwide. In an effort to confront the "outbreak", the White House, according to Josh Earnest, the White House Press Secretary, will be coordinating with various federal agencies and State authorities to ensure the American Public is safe from the "serious situation" that has emerged as a second U.S. patient since Ebola Tom brought the disease into the country, battles Ebola in the United States.
The Department of Homeland Security is working to secure ports of entry into the United States, except, apparently, the border with Mexico. We don't want to come across as insensitive to the illegal aliens and terrorists trying to make their way into America through that route.
A potential major crisis regarding Ebola has emerged, we are told, and the federal government, in the name of protecting Americans, is ready to tighten its grip on your freedoms. In the name of peace and safety, the Obama administration is creating additional resources without the approval of Congress by appointing czars and enacting executive agency policies designed to infringe on the authorities of local jurisdictions, and the sovereignty of the various States.

Widespread panic across the country, we are being told, is on the rise - even though it is not based on fact, or reason
Widespread panic across the country, we are being told, is on the rise - even though it is not based on fact, or reason. Ebola is serious, and I am not taking away from the seriousness of the virus, or the investigations regarding how patients can be exposed to the virus. To the families of the people who are sick, it is a serious situation. While a number of efforts are being thrown toward policies to contain Ebola, policies I believe are a part of a crisis wishlist by progressives in the federal government in the hopes of creating a precedent regarding greater influence by federal agencies on localities, the airborne Enterovirus D68 is being ignored, or at least is not receiving the attention it should have..
While the government states it is focused on treating persons with Ebola, here and abroad, we have seen relatively little activity regarding the enterorvirus that may have emerged because of infected children crossing the border by the thousands, at the urging of the federal government.
Is that why Obama is ignoring the enterovirus? If the federal government was to investigate the enterovirus, he knows -- like with all of the other scandals bubbling behind the distractions being promoted by Obama's minions -- the beginning of the rise of the respiratory illness among American children will lead right back to the President.
