Savage: 'They don't know Ebola from Shinola'

Urges Obama, CDC chief to emulate African nations restricting travel

President Obama’s executive order Thursday to send National Guard and reserve units to Liberia to help contain the Ebola outbreak is yet another indicator that he and officials such as Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Thomas Frieden are in over their heads, charged talk-radio host Michael Savage.

“Listening to Obama, listening to Frieden, they don’t know Ebola from Shinola,” Savage told his listeners Thursday.

“Every day they change their tune,” he said. “The military itself knows more about Ebola than they do.”

Savage noted that nearly every African government has restricted travel from the three West African nations where the Ebola outbreak originated.
“I suspect they are run by racists,” he quipped. “And I think King Lear Obama should send Eric Holder to Africa as he has to Ferguson, Missouri, to investigate and see if he can bring the FBI against Gambia, Nigeria. He should investigate Togo, Gabon, the Ivory Coast, Senegal, Rwanda, Chad, South Sudan, Namibia, Angola, South Africa, Botswana, Congo, Lesotho, Equatorial Guinea, Kenya, Madagascar.”

There were many more on the list of African nations that have banned travel into the Ebola-stricken countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

What do YOU think? Do the Obama administration’s objections to Ebola travel bans make sense? Sound off in today’s WND poll!

The U.S. already has announced plans to send some 4,000 military personnel to West Africa to help contain the virus amid criticism the mission is ill-defined and the troops could bring home Ebola.
As WND reported, Savage recently charged Ebola has entered the U.S. because of Obama’s open-borders policy.

Savage said even Speaker of the House John Boehner is advocating a travel ban, and the liberal New York Daily News is blaring on its front page along with an image of Obama: “For God’s sake, get a grip.”
Savage point out that while Obama and his administration continue to insist Ebola can only be transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids, U.S. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has acknowledged the virus could mutate and become airborne.

“I have a new respect for General Dempsey, who I think is speaking out because he cares about his troops,” Savage said. “Obama cares about nothing, except himself, so he continues to go on and on about things of which he knows nothing.”

Savage, referring to Frieden, said the president is “being advised by someone who doesn’t know the difference between Ebola and Shinola.”

He noted Frieden, who served as New York City’s health commissioner, was the architect of some of former Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s controversial policies, including the attempt to ban large sodas.
