| Hes a lawyer thats associated with Joe Biden and Al Gore. Also signed off on several things like Fannie Ma and Freddie mac (they were both very successful enterprises) and he has NO medical experience. Also handled the Solyndra debacle. Basically a campaign lawyer. Hmmm wonder how effective he will be. |

President Barack Obama is naming Ron Klain, a former chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden and a trusted adviser at the Obama White House, as the point man on the U.S. government's response to the Ebola crisis.
• Full Ebola coverage from MPR News

Obama has been under pressure to name an Ebola "czar" to oversee health security in the U.S. and actions to help stem the outbreak in West Africa.
Klain has been out of government since leaving Biden's office during the Obama's first term. The White House said that Klain would report to national security adviser Susan Rice and to homeland security and counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco.
Klain, a lawyer, also served as chief of staff for Vice President Al Gore. He previously served under Attorney General Janet Reno in the Clinton administration.
He worked for all the political hacks so I guess that makes him an expert on being a czar. |

Too bad this guy couldn't just once make a decision that is devoid of political expediency. Of all the people with the right kind of expertise, he nominates this man? |

| All the administration wants is a name. That way they can wash their hands of this and point to that guy when someone has a question. Who cares if he knows anything at all about the disease.

God forbid we send them to protect our borders. Did you know ICE is holding (under quarantine) eleven West Africans who were caught crossing. |
