Ebola Is Obama's Katrina

President Obama famously said, "The chances of an Ebola outbreak here in the United States are extremely low” on September 16 in a speech in Atlanta. "Misunderestimating" Ebola will be Obama's version of President Bush's Katrina screw-up.

After the fact, it appears Obama is now getting serious about Ebola, as Bush finally did with Katrina. I hope he truly is "getting serious" about Ebola instead of merely "appearing to do so" as is often his wont.

BTW, did you know that Obama's Director for the Center for Disease Control, Dr. Thomas Frieden, was formerly Mayor Bloomberg's Commissioner of Health and Mental Hygiene? Obama isn't the only loser here, Frieden hasn't covered himself with glory, either.
