During a Thursday evening press briefing on Ebola, the President shared with the American people why he believed a travel ban from infected countries isn't a good idea, although he claimed he wasn't "philosophically" against taking this protective measure if advised to do so by health and security experts.
“If we institute a travel ban instead of the protocols we put into place now, history shows that there is a likelihood of increased avoidance,” the president said. “People do not readily disclose their information, they may engage in something called broken travel — essentially breaking up their trip so that they can hide the fact they have been to one of these countries were the disease is in place.“And as a result, we may end up getting less information about who has the disease, they are less likely to get treated properly, screened properly, quarantined properly, and as a consequence we may end up having more cases rather than less,” Obama added.
The President and the government he has built with his progressive ideology have zero credibility with a good portion of the American people. Common sense tells anyone that if the borders are sealed and flights are banned from infected countries, the chances are less likely that persons infected with Ebola will enter and spread this deadly disease. With the current plan in place, what is to stop numerous individuals who may suspect they have been infected from traveling to America and overwhelming hospitals?
Again, frustrated Tweeters, led by The Morning Spew, were quick to point out the idiocy in Obama's logic for not instituting an immediate travel ban and offered the President some suggestions for his next excuse. Sometimes you simply need to laugh or you'll cry.
