Obama Open to Appointing Ebola Czar

Thursday while President Barack Obama was addressing the latest Ebola developments, he said he is  open to the idea of appointing an Ebola czar.

Obama said, “We’re going into flu season, which by the way means that people will be looking to get their flu shots. We know that tens of thousands of people die every year from the flu and hundreds more may be going to the emergency room and hospitalized because of the flu. So that is something that tom is also responsible for. So it may make sense for us to have one person in part just so that after this initial surge of activity, we can have a more regular process just to make sure that we’re crossing all the t’s and dotting all the i’s going forward.”
