BREAKING: This Governor Is Sick of Obama’s Ebola Policy…He Just Took Matters Into His Own Hands

Finally! A little leadership on Ebola. We obviously can’t count on President Obama to lift a finger unless it’s to dial up his radical Islamic pals and apologize for something, but at least Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal will.

Newsmax reports that Jindal just signed executive order BJ 2014-13 for a travel watch. The order requires all state departments to develop and institute reporting procedures and protocols for dealing with public sector employees, teachers, or students traveling to and from Ebola-stricken countries. The order forbids anyone returning from those countries from using “places where the public congregates,” including public transportation, grocery stores, restaurants, and gyms.

The order charges the federal government with utter negligence, stating that it “has failed to implement protections at the national level to prevent the entrance of the Ebola Virus Disease.” The order names Liberia, Guinea, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone in the travel watch.A number of legislators have urged President Obama to institute a travel ban, but he has thus far refused, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have loyally echoed his wishes…try to contain your surprise. According to the CDC, a travel ban would be counter-productive because restricting travel would make it harder to keep track of visitors from Ebola-ravaged countries.    Huh?“That statement defies logic. How exactly would stopping the entry of people potentially carrying the Ebola virus be counterproductive? We should stop accepting flights from countries that are Ebola stricken,” Jindal said in an interview with Politico.Jindal’s executive order describes itself as a “common sense” measure. Sense obviously isn’t common, though. Otherwise, more people would have it, including the president.We need more leaders like Gov. Jindal who are willing to defy the liberal narrative in the interest of keeping U.S. citizens safe. All other 49 states should follow suit.
