this virus, how to sort of take the lead in west africa, to make sure that ebola doesn't jump the ocean, doesn't jump the continent. and at the same time, you have an american public that is feeling incredibly anxious. we're seeing now more and more concerns. you have a grounded airplane coming in to newark with fears because somebody got sick on the airplane who had come from that part of africa. and so how does the government quell those fears at a time when over the last 18 months government has sort of eroded its trust with the american public due to various bungles, if you want to call it that, from the secret service to the issues of say not being able to get healthcare.gov off the ground. all of its over the last 18 months has accumulated into a trust deficit just at a moment when the cdc, a government agency desperately needs the american public to listen to it. and so it's an added challenge to what already is a big problem for them to deal with in the virus itself. >> for sure, and now turning to politics, president obama said
