Ebola Tsar

Um, OK. Is that supposed to be a substitute for competence?

President Obama this evening suggested for the first time he is open to appointing a single person to oversee the federal response to Ebola, bowing to numerous demands from Capitol Hill and elsewhere.

With all of the people in government already responsible for public health, why do we need to appoint (and pay) someone else? Can’t the rest of them just do their jobs? Or is that too much to ask?
