Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMaybe a dumb question, but shouldn't Pres. Obama and Gov. Perry be working together?
You know...Ebola. Panic. Responsibility. All that stuff. Is the government really so utterly dysfunctional that they can't have a conversation and make it clear to the public that they're working together to ensure that we're taken care of? If so my tendency would be to think of it as Perry's issue, but if so and if I was the President I'd throw one FIERCE fit.
Am I an idiot?

Hours after officials confirmed that a second health care worker had tested positive for Ebola in Texas, Republican Gov. Rick Perry said that he would cut his pre-scheduled European trip short and return to his home state tomorrow, his office confirmed to NBC News Wednesday. Earlier in the day, Perrys spokesman said the governor had no plans to return early at this point.
