I am wondering just how great is the threat of Ebola spreading to the United States, if

the President has found it necessary to travel all the way to Atlanta to confer with the CDC.

1. I don't see that his conferring with the CDC is indicative of ebola spreading

the U.S. It's a serious problem as is.

2. Me either

As you said, it's indicative of the seriousness of the problem and his traveling to Atlanta only reinforces the seriousness.

3. It is spreading

Docs and scientists say it is out of control.

As is, in the US, it is an horizon event.

Good to see Obama getting prepared to keep it from getting worse. On Wednesday, he goes to Florida to meet the military where the Africa command center is located.

If we don't get control of Ebola soon, no telling how far it could spread.

4. True. I heard on the news that 3,000 American troops are being sent to West Africa to fight

Ebola.

5. It is so serious, he's going to attend the Braves/Nationals game tonight too.

6. I hope he gets in some golf, too

The man needs to do things other than talk with suits. That is probably the worst part of the job: All the suits.

8. What do you do to relax?

9. Tonight, I'll drink tasty micro brews while watching the Braves/Nationals game.

My snarky comment was on Ebola not being a major problem in the US that required a visit and had nothing to do with the president's well deserved relaxation at the end of the day.
