That time when Obama said he's open to an 'Ebola Czar' and had to be reminded he already HAS ONE

Just in: For the first time the President just expressed an openness to possibility of appointing an #Ebola czar

Oh, well then. An Ebola Czar, like Sen. McCain desired on Sunday. OK, then … except, you know, what about this?

Yep. Citizens had to again remind the president that he already has an Ebola Czar. Awkward!

We have one: Dr. Nicole Lurie http://t.co/ViMlOP65oX cc @BarackObama
RT @cnnbrk PotUS says it may be appropriate to appoint an Ebola "czar."

The person supposed to be in charge of Ebola response is HHS Asst. Secretary Nicole Lurie at ASPR. Where is she? We don't need new czar

Guess he’s never read about her in the papers. Since she’s been missing and all.

@edhenryTV Are you aware there already is one? Who is MIA for some mysterious reason? http://t.co/UImXxBiwof
