did not even publicly discuss the problem of AIDS until it had spread widely among the US population, Obama has taken a wise course of action to prevent Ebola from spreading among the US population.

Deal.

I just think you are a bit premature in the accolades department. Obama appointed an "Ebola czar", who just started his job today. Is that how he saved us all?

Ebola has been prevented from spreading in the US, without any significant economic damage to the country, because of prudent and effective government action.

WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — President Barack Obama warns the Ebola virus could mutate if it is not controlled.
Speaking to NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Obama said that the Ebola outbreak that has killed more than 1,500 people in West Africa is a national security policy and that the United States has a responsibility to help contain it.

“If we don’t make that effort now, and this spreads not just through Africa but other parts of the world, there’s the prospect then that the virus mutates,” Obama told NBC News. “It becomes more easily transmittable. And then it could be a serious danger to the United States.”

An earlier $58 million request for the Centers for Disease Control would help the agency ramp up production and testing of the experimental drug ZMapp, which has shown promise in fighting the Ebola epidemic in western Africa. It would also help keep the development and manufacturing of two Ebola vaccines on track. The White House request seeks to use $10 million in unused balances at the Department of Health and Human Services to help with the Ebola outbreak in Africa.
