Ebola crisis puts Obama's credibility to the test

Not to mention the dozen scandals he's created and obscure. m/r 

CASHILL: Ebola crisis puts Obama's credibility to the test - Washington Times
- - Monday, October 6, 2014
America is facing two domestic crises as I write: one not yet realized, the other well established. The possible one is that of an Ebola epidemic on our shores. The undeniable one is a crisis of leadership in the White House. The latter, alas, will surely aggravate the former–and vice versa.
On September 16, President Obama spoke to a gathering at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta. As usual, the president said what people wanted to hear. The chances of an Ebola outbreak in the U.S. were “extremely low.” The U.S. has increased airport screening so that no one with the disease can fly here. “In the unlikely event” someone with the disease does enter the country, he said, the government has taken “new measures” to assure that doctors are trained and hospitals are ready “to deal with a possible case safely.”
Three days later, Thomas Eric Duncan left the house in Liberia he had been sharing with a mortally ill Ebola patient. He apparently lied about his contact with the woman, then boarded a plane for Dallas by way of Brussels and Washington’s Dulles airport. On September 25, he walked into Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, nauseous and feverish. Despite his recent exodus from Liberia, no one thought to test him for Ebola. Three days after that, he was finally admitted, and only then after a friend called the CDC.
In essence, nothing Obama had said on September 16 was true.
