It was only a matter of time, and that time has come quickly, before the administration's gross mismanagement of the Ebola crisis would surely endanger the US population.

 

Due to “political correctness,” the incumbent’s administration has irrationally continued to resist a travel ban and quarantines of those arriving here from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, hot spots for the epidemic that has killed thousands in Africa. Although screening of arrivals has been increased, ensuring that they are monitored for 21 days, the incubation period for the deadly disease.

 

Today, however, www.foxnews.com/politics reports that, Dr.Craig Spencer, who recently returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea, became the first person in the city to test positive for the virus Thursday in New York City.

 

Before being hospitalized, he “had traveled on the A and L subway lines Wednesday night, visited a bowling alley in Williamsburg, and then took a taxi back to Manhattan.” Then was, “rushed to Bellevue Hospital Center and placed in isolation at the same time as investigators sought to retrace every step he had taken over the past several days.”

 

It’s known that, “At least three people he had contact with in recent days have been placed in isolation. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which dispatched a team to New York, is conducting its own test to confirm the positive test on Thursday, which was performed by a city lab.”

 

Now, it’s highly probable that despite concerted screening efforts, the dreaded disease would still have a chance to enter the country via a multitude of ways. There are far too many travelers to meticulously inspect every individual thoroughly, while others would surely slip through the cracks. Nonetheless, refusing  to take the simplest of steps, such as a temporary travel ban from known  Ebola hotbeds, is far beyond rational comprehension, perhaps even criminal. 

 

A reader, “otay,” on www.thegatewaypundit.com, put it this way: “Politically correct insanity is more dangerous and contagious in this country than Ebola.”

 

A confirming thought on the subject of presidential ineptitude appeared in an article by Adam Kredo on freebeacon.com, regarding comments by Ali Younesi, senior advisor to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who said: “Obama is the weakest of U.S. presidents, he had humiliating defeats in the region. Under him the Islamic awakening happened.”

 

In a Farsi language interview with Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency, Younesi said, “Americans witnessed their greatest defeats in Obama’s era: Terrorism expanded, [the] U.S. had huge defeats under Obama [and] that is why they want to compromise with Iran.”

 

Then, apparently without realizing what he’d said, he endorsed conservatives by stating, “Conservatives are war mongers, they cannot tolerate powers like Iran. If conservatives were in power they would go to war with us because they follow Israel “

 

Which means that, Mr. Younesi understands clearly that if conservatives held control in the US, not only wouldn’t Iran have nuclear capability, they’d be of far less threat to any of their neighbors, including Israel and Saudi Arabia.

 

As far as ineptitude goes, though, the incumbent’ surely not alone. It runs in the family.

 

Yesterday, his wife flubbed on the campaign trail, apparently confusing Colorado Democrat Senator, Mark Udall, with his Republican opponent.

 

Speaking in Denver Thursday at a campaign event for Udall, who’s in a heated battle with Republican Representative, Cory Gardner, she touted Udall’s Senate record, calling him a “fifth-generation Coloradan.”

 

Going on to claim that “Mark understands what makes this state special,” turned out to be problematical, however, because not only isn’t Udall a “fifth-generation Coloradan” he was in fact born in Arizona, while his father, former Representative, Mo Udall, served as a congressman from that state for decades.

 

So, what today’s items point out from a practical and personal viewpoint is, that if I changed my perspective in typing these entry’s to reflect what the current administration does correctly, I could save hours of work daily, never having to type anything but the title and the following:

 

That’s it for today folks.
