Barack Obama’s photo op with Ebola surviving nurse

October 25, 2014

 You have probably seen the picture of Barack Obama hugging Nina Pham, the nurse who contracted Ebola while caring for Thomas Duncan, but in case you have not here it is.

ebola hug 2

  We are all happy that Nina Pham is Ebola-free of course, but it is interesting to note that this was a staged event at the request of the President.

    It has been reported here that the hug took place after Barack Obama stated “let’s give a hug for the camera.”

  This is interesting because Ebola is a serious issue and I thought Barack Obama was more interested in solving problems than he was in using issues for photo ops. Is that not what he said in refusing Rick Perry’s invitation to the border during the recent surge in illegal immigration?

  “This isn’t theater. This is a problem, I’m not interested in photo ops; I’m interested in solving a problem.”

  I thought so…

    my opinion (after seeing photos of ‘nina’ before the hospital, while in the hospital, after the hosptial) is that she never had ebola… she gained weight while in the hospital.. that just doesn’t happen when you’re in for something as vicious as ebola… in every pic, including the video from the hospital she’s smiling, energetic. Maybe caught it before the effects kicked in? I’ve read ebola has a 90% kill rate with little or no treatment.. but only 50% when treated early and well. So far, 2 nurses, 1 doctor (with another doctor just recently admitted in New York) and everyone seems to be living… the idiot that came here from Africa with this crap died. Yup, I believe he had it…. have my doubting thomas mask on today…

      I hadn’t even thought of that possibility but I do not put anything passed this regime at this point.

        There’s an agenda here somewhere, I just don’t know what it is. I do know this much. After first reporting ebola coming to America, Americans, and Republicans started screaming to close our borders to those incoming from infected countries. Probably because the media played up how bad things are in Africa and Americans, rightfully so, at least those of us with at least 1 working brain cell demanded this needs to happen. obama seen this was a mistake and to rectify this, is now finding a few people with ebola, but somehow we’re amazingly able to completely defeat it, which has now calmed the screaming people somewhat. To which he needed because he’s stated that he’s going to start bringing in people who are infected with ebola to treat them here. All except for the military he sent there. (why did that even happen?). He said he would treat them there….. This man is so twisted I can’t even imagine where this is going…

        I find it very interesting that Obama is going to bring people here who contract Ebola yet if our soldiers contract the disease while over there they are going to be treated over there…

    I still want to know the mystery patient that was treated without any comment. In and out.

    There really isn’t much chance that she was still infectious, is there?

    Why in the world would you want to question the President’s motives, Steve? I mean, can’t you tell from his first six years in office how sincere he is about these things?

      Ha, Larry, given the track record of this Administration, how can one NOT question the motives now? I know you are being facetious, but have to wonder how many people there still are that do NOT question them?

    I have to wonder if this was just not meant to get the American people wanting the government to step in and take care of us! Of course, they are doing a really, really bad job of it, but they are trying to get us to panic. I do not think the amount of people that have ebola warrants a BIG panic and I am with some others thinking that the ones that allegedly have/had ebola sure look nice and healthy “after being near death”! Are we being played for fools, who knows!
    As for treating our military/reservists over there and bringing their people HERE to treat them…what is WRONG with that picture? Are we not putting up hospitals for them to be treated in their own countries? I think the virus that is attacking our kids needs to be looked at more closely as well as all the other diseases and vermin that are coming across our southern border.
    They are gearing up for something BIG next week before the election, they have to, they are losing ground and they know no other way than to make us panic and to use the voter fraud at the polls.
    Sorry to sound so negative and becoming a non-believer but I do not trust them AT ALL, anymore.

      If his plan was to show the people the government needed to step in and save us I think it is backfiring on him. At least I hope so…

    Lou, I just finished reading a couple of articles. Maybe I do know where this going. Pharma is now gearing up to create a new vaccine to try to stop this before it’s starts. They’ll initially use it ‘over there’. Where is that going to lead? …… I’m seeing a bigger picture here now…

      We always knew that mandatory vaccination was coming, perhaps it is sooner than we think. Not a fan of vaccines and for sure not one they want to force on me. We can only guess what they will put in them.

      I have been thinking about the “chipping” we do with our pets, can it be far behind on us?

        Conspiracy theorists since the 90’2 have thought that putting chips in pets was a precursor to putting them in humans and I tend to agree with this.

      This is a catch 22 for me. My company build and integrates control circuits for big pharma. When the swine flu was the next big threat we got work out of it, now it could be happening again.

    Another marketing tool. “This “Blue Angel” project, as it’s called, suddenly puts the Pentagon in the forefront of the vaccine business. The big question is: why is the Army involved in vaccines at all? … It creates a potential scenario in which the military can invent the “bio-threat” and then step in and provide the solution. It doesn’t really matter whether the bio-threat is real or imaginary. … People in West Africa are staying away from the government “isolation” centers and hospitals. People there believe it’s a government conspiracy.” http://truthstreammedia.com/want-to-know-what-martial-law-over-ebola-will-look-like-check-out-whats-happening-right-now-in-africa/comment-page-1/#comment-5952
    If Obola really wanted to show his compassion, he’d go to Africa – what about his a.k.a ‘family’ there?

      Zip, they are wise to not trust their government. We need to be more “watchful” here, as well. This is not looking good, is it?
      Think that Obama needs a new photo-op, do you?

    Well either the government is backtracking or ‘redefing’ what they said.. this is the latest I read on the military issue:

    “Most frustrating to Warner are reports indicating troops infected with Ebola would be left in Liberia and not transported back to the U.S. for treatment.

    “That’s not coming from us,” DeSantis said.

    Warner said, “That’s a misreading of a DoD (Department of Defense) policy dating back to 2007 that says we won’t transport a biohazard individual on military transport, translated by some to mean we won’t get our soldiers out.

    “That’s not the case.”

    Warner said that there will be a risk assessment process, “as always,” and that soldiers who get sick and are identified as being at no risk of having Ebola will be evacuated back through normal channels.

    Because of the mission, however, there will be an enhanced 21-day monitoring period. If soldiers are identified as possibly being infected by Ebola, they will be isolated at that point in the process, which will happen at every point in the evacuation process.”
