OBAMA ACARES MORE ABOUT POLITCAL CORRECTNESS AND MULTICULTURALISM THAN PROTECTING THE PEOPLE OF THE USA FROM A PANDEMIC CATASTROPHE. Here is something for the Bush haters to contemplate. This is what he did to try and prevent a catastrophic pandemic contagious disease or virus from killing millions of people in the USA. Bushs quarantine plans were abandoned by Obama four years ago, the administration of President Barack Obama moved with virtually no fanfare to abandon a comprehensive set of regulations which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had called essential to preventing international travelers from spreading deadly diseases inside the United States. The CDC had proposed the regulations in 2005 under the administration of George W. Bush. The original impetus for the regulations was fear that avian flu would spread unchecked. The regulations proposed under the Bush administration would have granted the federal government a power of “provisional quarantine” to confine airline passengers involuntarily for up to three days if they exhibit symptoms of certain infectious diseases. Federal officials would also have been able to quarantine passengers exposed to people with those symptoms. There was a fairly long list of diseases. It included smallpox, yellow fever, diphtheria, pandemic flu, infectious tuberculosis, cholera — and viral fevers such as Ebola. dailycaller/2014/10/03/president-ebola-in-2010-obama-administration-scrapped-cdc-quarantine-regulations-aimed-at-ebola/
