Quack as long and as loud as you want. Ebola isn't Obamas fault.

Remember you said that. Tonight we are to be served a big, steaming pile of democratic bullshit. They are going to run ads saying that Republican budget cuts to the CDC is responsible for the Ebola outbreak. As you say, there have been no budget cuts and even the head of the CDC has said that extra money (above what they have recieved every year) would not have provided a vaccine for Ebola. So know that you are being lied to....again but the same people who try this same tired tactic every election.
I also notice that no one blamed Obama for Ebola and yet you reacted as if they have Timmie. That was a defensive reaction to a percieved threat that didn't exist. Gives us some insight into your mind. Why do YOU think Obama has some responsiblity?
The Investor's Business Daily shows Obama's proposed cuts and the actual mount given to the CDC and the NIH. The NIH has taken a modest cut but not the CDC.

Here is the actual proposed budget by the CDC for fiscal year 2012. Not that on page 11 they are
reducing the amount of money for emergency preparedness by 71.5 million dollars. They also propose
reducing education and research by 24 million. On page 15 they propose to
reduce the money going to the public health infrastructure by 9 million dollars from the 2010 amount.
