Were the potentially horrible “optics” of a campaign trip during continuing bad news on the Ebola front combined with ISIS too much for even the White House to ignore?

No worries about Ebola here! "MT@markknoller: Today Pres Obama does a DSCC fundraiser in NJ & a rally in Bridgeport for Connecticut Dems.”
