Fox News contributor Dr. Keith Ablow claims that the Obama administration is not taking forceful enough action to combat the Ebola crisis because the president may think “we should suffer along with less fortunate nations.”

In an October 9 column for Fox News, Ablow looks to answer “Why Obama is allowing Ebolaphobia to spread.” According to Ablow, the Obama administration and the CDC could help quell the public's fears about the virus, but have lacked the necessary “steady stewardship.” Ablow prescribes implementing a travel ban on countries affected by the virus -- something many experts disagree with -- but thinks the president refuses to do so because “he sees himself as a citizen of the world and sees Americans as having infected others with our deadly economic policies for a long time, thereby inflicting untold suffering on developing nations,” which would make it “profoundly unfair” for America to cut itself off from countries “we have preyed upon.”

He continues, arguing that Obama “may literally believe we should suffer along with less fortunate nations”:

I believe the president may literally believe we should suffer along with less fortunate nations. And if he does, that is a very dangerous psychological stance from which to confront Ebola.

Let me say this plainly, as a psychiatrist who has studied this president only from a distance: In order for President Obama to keep thinking of himself as the leader of the world -- and not just the free world -- it may be that our boundaries must remain porous, allowing illegal immigrants and, potentially, even diseases to flow through them.

Ablow concludes his column by suggesting that the president's refusal to believe in America's greatness is putting the country at risk of an Ebola outbreak:

The toll of having a president who seems to see America as having no particular manifest destiny may be seen in the spread of ISIS abroad. And it could be seen, God forbid, in not mounting a sufficient immune defense here at home, to Ebola. Saying so, even at the risk of offending some or many, is the first step (here taken) to make it not so.

Ablow regularly asserts that Obama hates the United States, claiming at various points that the president "wants America to dissolve"; that Obama does not have “Americanism in his soul”; and that "he's got it in for this country."

Ablow has also repeatedly engaged in lazy, bizarre psychoanalysis of the president. After Obama's 2013 State of the Union address, Ablow wrote that the speech was the “psychological projection of an abandoned boy's vision.” (Ablow has cited the president's parents having “abandoned” him as the motivation behind numerous things the president has said and done.)

In August, Ablow received widespread criticism for suggesting First Lady Michelle Obama “needs to drop a few” pounds in order to be more credible on school nutrition.
