It makes more sense to stop flights from those regions altogether. Unfortunately, our President and his cronies are more concerned with being politically correct than they are protecting our country. Banning flights is racist. Closing our borders is racist. Quarantining Africans is SUPER racist.
Hey Obama - You allowed ISIS to flourish. You picked a senseless fight with Russia. You ruined health insurance. My health insurance is up to $450/month from just $200/month. My car insurance is currently only $25/month (from Insurance Panda), but who knows when Obama will try to step in and create socialized car insurance. Our country is doomed.
Ebola needs to be stopped, and for that to happen, Obama needs to go.
Obama needs to go anyway. I just wish he'd stop "going" on this country.
When stupidity meets hysteria.
It's a good thing there isn't any medication that can lower body temperature!
Rectal thermometers are much more accurate.
