Obama Appoints Lobbyist/PR Flack As Ebola Czar

George Washington's picture




 

Obama has appointed Ron Klain as the Ebola Czar.

Klain has no medical or healthcare background whatsoever.

Instead, he’s a high-powered lobbyist. He helped the corrupt Fannie Mae to overcome “regulatory issues” in 2004. Wikipedia notes:

Klain [helped in] convincing Congress and Fannie Mae’s regulators that Fannie Mae wasn’t doing anything dangerous, and wasn’t exposing taxpayers to risk. In other words, Ron Klain got paid to help fuel the housing bubble up until a couple of years before it popped.

Klain also:

Represented a company facing asbestos-exposure lawsuits, the embattled drugmaker ImClone and two companies trying to win support for large mergers.

What’s he going to do … lobby to convince Congress that Ebola is not that big a risk?

Klain is also a major Democratic operative, serving as Chief of Staff for Vice Presidents Al Gore and Joe Biden.  As such, it is not unlikely that he will be motivated to cover up for any missteps by Obama and CDC chair Tom Frieden.

Matt Stoller – who knows as much about Washington, D.C. politics as anyone – notes:

Ron Klain is a fixer who is well-connected and knows his way around the exec branch. His skill is fixing PR problems, not logistics.

The only thing these clowns have is a PR strategy.  Once that body count starts soaring I think they'll be looking for some new digs right quick.

ImClone lobbyist, look it up.

That is the full extent of his medical experience...

Do you trust this fat fuck telling you everything is safe?

Ebola is merely a political problem that requires a political answer....

The lie is more powerful than the sword. They are going to rename America, Israel. What do you think happens to us? This conspiracy has been 199 years in the works.

Oh, but don't ya know this is breast cancer awareness month! I go to a fast food restaurant and they have pink straws with wrappers printed with the Susan G. KOMEN bullshit. I look up and see people wearing t-shirts that say, guess what, Walk for a Cure, printed in pink. Three people, not wearing these t-shirts, are also talking about cancer and folks they know with cancer. There's money in them there boobs, and I don't mean breasts.

You'd think that all the pink ribbon crap on all the carcinogenic junk food would be a clue but not for most people...

Hey... he's a lawyer aaaand "a fixer" aaaand... "While at Harvard Law School, Klain was also an editor of the Harvard Law Review." What could possibly go wrong?

Other than whatever it is that's about to happen to us that is...

We put a lawyer in charge of an emergency like this (and it is an emergency).

Do you think the Chinese or anyone else for that matter would do the same?

ImClone, Fannie Mae, Gore and Biden. This guy is a real peace of statist work.

In talking w/a handful of inside-the-beltway types last night, they were to a man astounded at the ineptness of this choice.  Most of these guys are/were dyed in the wool Democrats and were just thunderstruck at the complete stupidity of this appointment.  In short, these guys were Obola's core/base.

I think it's great.  It simply reinforces the utter incompetence of Dear Leader and his total desperation to save the sinking ship...by putting a lawyer in charge of the bucket brigade.

If people dont see it now, they are willfully blind.

William, this latest appointee is 'just another nail' in the USSA coffin.

 

So far, everything is a fail.

This guy is there to draw up the legal basis for some type of national emergency.  We're well past needing a doctor here.

I would argue whatever order is given it should be ignored "awaiting further details.". Especially if no consultations with Congress are envisioned...as clearly these criminals are not envisioning at this point.

This says one of two things to me. Either the whole Ebola story is bullshit with this clown serving as proof or they really do intend to kill a lot of people.

I agree with you and let me take that one step further. 

 

1.  this is the first president to allow ebola to be imported into america, despite all prior protocols and all good judgment and common sense (god forbid).

2.  this is the first president to fly 3000 untrainted troops right straight into the hot zone, basically using them a geopolitical pawns (no surprise there)

 

3.  the pattern of lie/change story/obfuscate/repeat   is not a new thing for Obunghole, however they are all doing it like clockwork now. 

 

All this is too well orchestrated, only to be believed  by the mind-controlled obots...
