Obama hits governors for 'hiding under the covers' from Ebola

By Eric Bradner, CNN

updated 4:34 PM EDT, Wed October 29, 2014

President Barack Obama said states that are mandating quarantines for health workers returning from treating Ebola patients in West Africa are "hiding under the covers."

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama took more thinly-veiled shots at governors like New Jersey's Chris Christie on Wednesday, saying the mandatory quarantine policies some states have imposed amount to "hiding under the covers" from Ebola.

After visiting a group of health care workers who'd recently returned from the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa -- some still within the virus's 21-day incubation period, but showing no symptoms -- Obama said policies like states requiring three-week quarantines of doctors and nurses who treated Ebola patients could harm U.S. efforts to stop its spread.

He didn't mention Christie, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo or others by name, but said he's "putting those on notice who think that we should hide from these problems."

"When I hear people talking about American leadership and then promoting policies that would avoid leadership and have us running the opposite direction and hiding under the covers, it makes me a little frustrated," Obama said.

His remarks Wednesday echoed similar ones Tuesday. They come days after Christie and Cuomo, faced with the first potential Ebola cases in their states, said they were imposing mandatory quarantines for health workers who'd treated infected patients upon their return to the United States.

California Gov. Jerry Brown's top health official announced a similar rule there on Wednesday, though the state hasn't yet had an Ebola case.

Obama's role in final campaign

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama's final campaign isn't turning into much of a victory lap.

His role in next week's midterm elections, which amount to the last important contest of his political career, has been to quietly rake in campaign cash for the Democratic party, rather than headline the stadium rallies he became famous for in 2008 and 2012.

The final week before the midterm elections is slated to be Obama's busiest, though the eleventh-hour politicking will only take the president to states that went his direction in 2008 and 2012. He'll campaign mostly for governors, whose role outside Washington puts them further from the unpopular White House policies that give Democratic Senate candidates heartburn.

The objective: turning out Democrats who don't have a great record voting in midterm contests.
