Obama Went And Appointed An Ebola Czar — And Now The Man Is Nowhere To Be Found
Oct 29, 2014,~~ By Roberta Rampton, Reuters
It's not often that a White House appointee gets mocked on both "Saturday Night Live" and a major daily newspaper before he makes his first public appearance. But Obama's hand-picked Ebola Response Coordinator Ron Klain's low-profile first week has become another attack point for a White House struggling to show it's on top of the global Ebola crisis.

Klain was seen once, in a photo op on his first day, with health officials from the CCD and NIH — and Obama himself. The White House has declined to give details about his activities, especially what role he played to keep the nation calm about the risk posed by healthcare workers returning from Ebola-stricken West Africa.

Klain, 53, is a lawyer and political insider who previously served as chief of staff to Vice Presidents Joe Biden and Al Gore and left the White House in 2011 to help AOL co-founder Steve Case oversee his holdings.

The White House has tried to temper expectations that Klain will emerge as a regular voice on Ebola. He might do the occasional briefing or interview, "but that is pretty low on his to-do list," Earnest said.

Instead, Klain has briefed Obama on developments on six of seven days since he began work, Earnest said. He has talked to some state officials, but not others. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe spoke to Klain on Monday to tell him how the state was monitoring people returning from West Africa, a spokesman said.

But the Texas Department of State Health Services hasn't had direct contact with Klain, a spokeswoman there said. Florida health officials have not been contacted by Klain either, said Nathan Dunn, a spokesman for the state agency collaborative dealing with Ebola preparations.


Comment:
Remember when Democrats cheered and bowed because of this Obama edict?
Follow the money. Where were the additional funds authorized spent? Who got a cut?
Oh, Overnight all the Ebola stories disappeared from the MSM. They instituted a no more reporting rule.
Here a Czar, there a czar, everywhere a czar, czar
