News this morning is that President Obama will appoint Ron Klain as the Ebola "czar" to deal with this unprecedented public health crisis. I'm not sure how Ron Klain, with no medical qualifications, can be prepared to deal with this disease. I was hoping that President Obama would've picked someone that worked in the Surgeon General's office to send a message, but I think this is much more about getting agreement on who to be Ebola Czar, and if so, then Klain may be the person for this role.
President Barack Obama will appoint Ron Klain, a lawyer who has served as chief of staff to both Vice Presidents Joe Biden and Al Gore, as the Ebola czar, CNN and CNBC report.
Klain left the White House in 2011 to become president of Case Holdings.
