Beckel commented on FOX recently, that Republicans always complaining about how government should be smaller are now criticizing government for the lack of adequate response to “Ebola”. Well first and foremost, CDC funding doubled during Bush 43, and is up over thirty-five percent since Obama has been in the WH. Moreover, the GOP’s bone of contention has always been the “rate of spending”, and not cuts to existing funding, and also that tax payer money allotted for “disease control” shouldn’t be spent on bike paths and green energy projects.

I think it’s fair to say Americans are now concerned about this virus with a mortality rate of better than fifty percent, and that anyone idiot could’ve seen coming from 5700 miles away. I think it’s also fair to say that the Obama Administration has stumbled once again attempting to apply classroom ideology and theory to critical world events. Look, the president has one fundamental responsibility above all others, that being to protect the American people. Accordingly, and in view of his litany of failure thus far, one has to wonder how much longer, and how many more lives must be lost, before this Administration either wakes up or are removed from office for what might ultimately constitute “high crimes and misdemeanors”?
