Governor Chris Christie explained to local reporters that he was confident with his quarantine policy to combat Ebola in spite of pressure from the Obama administration, explaining that his policy was based on “common sense.”

Referring to Obama’s statement on the quarantine issue, Christie alluded that he was tired of being lectured for taking action in his state.

Christie argued that the American people were anxious to have their leaders set a defined policy.

To defend his policy, Christie referred to the 21 day quarantine for soldiers in the United States military as ordered by the Department of Defense.
