The WH claims they have this under control. During the past 6 years I can’t think of anything they have actually had under control with one exception the national press i.e. ABC, NBA, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC. The disaster in Dallas has yet to play out because the symptoms of having Ebola can take up to 3 weeks to show up. That means that the direct infections from Duncan will all be active by the end of October. Since that will only be two weeks till the election Obama will not want this issue out there as it could effect the outcome so there will be an effort to suppress the news on this issue.
