Airport workers at La Guardia in NYC are going on strike over having to be around potential Ebola-carrying air passengers. This echoes the popular sentiment of a majority of Americans who want Obama to stop favoring his fellow Africans, and to start favoring the Americans who pay his salary.
Ebola scare: LaGuardia on strike, 58% of Americans want to ban flights from W. Africa ? RT USA
Ignorance run a muck. Let's start with the fact that LaGuardia is a domestic airport. They aren't likely to deal with anything more contagious than a tick on a plant in the baggage of a flight from Colorado carrying Lyme disease.
Banning flights from Africa is also complete silliness. We inbound 150 persons per day from Africa

...many of them, including Mr. Duncan, do not enter the country on flights from Africa but connect in Europe.
People are starting to lose rationality. They are far more likely to be gunned down by a gunman in a movie theater or mall or die in a carjacking than die of ebola.
So, what is the cost of truth?

Q: What defines a "progressive"?
A: A complete lack of foresight.
I bet you thought AIDS was just a big scare tactic of the right too? Well close to 1,000,000 Americans have now died from AIDS. Hundreds of thousands have been infected and sickened by West Nile Virus. Africa also leads the world in whooping cough, tuberculosis, and malaria. We just happen to have had recent outbreaks of TB and whooping cough in the US, when those illnesses had previously been eradicated many years ago. So tell me, where's the actual "progress" that progressives bring? I don't see any, all I see is regression, so maybe you guys should call yourselves regressives.
Kind of funny considering that, with the exception of Canada and possibly Mexico, LGA only services domestic flights.
So you're saying a flight from west Africa couldn't connect elsewhere and fly to LGA?

Landing doesn't decontaminate a plane. Not sure what the answer is.Ok, so now we have to ground every single foreign flight from anywhere in the world.

BTW2. To your original concern about Obama protecting is "fellow Africans" .... I hope you realize that Obama is no more NOR any less an American than you. You really should get over that fear as well.
Descendents of Africans have suspicious loyalties, but descendents of Europeans are Real Americans(tm).
People are understandably scared. Look what's it's doing in Africa. Imagine that happening in the US.People are starting to lose rationality. They are far more likely to be gunned down by a gunman in a movie theater or mall or die in a carjacking than die of ebola.
Obama, the CDC Director and the "It's fine" people on this thread just don't get it.
Setting up "screenings" at airports? Really?
Take their temperature....POINTLESS! Duncan was not symptomatic until a couple of days after his plane ride.
Questionaries? Easy to lie. Duncan did it on his before he left home.
I don't give a flying pile of cow flop how "safe we are" according to the CDC Director. We need to ban all flights from Ebola-hit countries and ban all Africans from Ebola-hit countries who come via other countries. If medical personnel from there want to come home, that's fine. But before they do, they'll have to spend a month in isolation to make sure they're virus clean.
Both Republicans AND Democrats are calling for flight bans. If both of them are in agreement on something, it must be serious...and Obama better consider heeding their calls.
We got lucky as hell in Dallas. We dodged a bullet. We might not be so lucky next time. Better to be safe then sorry.
