Obama urges Americans not to give in to hysteria over Ebola
http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/10/18/us-health-ebola-usa-idUSKCN0I61BO20141018#comments
(Reuters) - With three cases of Ebola diagnosed in the United States but dozens of people being monitored in case they contract the illness, President Barack Obama urged Americans on Saturday not to give in to "hysteria" about the spread of the virus.
Obama also made plain he is not currently planning to give in to demands from some lawmakers for a ban on travelers from the worst-hit countries.
"We can't just cut ourselves off from West Africa," Obama said in his weekly radio address. "Trying to seal off an entire region of the world - if that were even possible - could actually make the situation worse," he said.
Obama is just as guilty of hysteria. Here is one stupid comment.

Since the hypocritical Republicans are pushing this issue, Obama’s made a reasonable choice. Maybe now they’ll shut up & do what they should have done in the first place: confirm the Surgeon General nominated by the President. They’re refusing to do this because he supports gun control measures, as do the majority of Americans. Republicans are a menace to America & the world.

That is a typical leftist strawman argument. No one is saying that West Africa should be sealed off. No one has said that we should stop sending aid and abandon them. We just want to stop the chance of infected people coming to the US.

Hysteria is only good when it works for the advancement of libs.
