Obama: Ebola 'A Top National Security Priority'

President Barack Obama addressed the growing Ebola crisis today in the Roosevelt Room of the White House.

“As I’ve said from the start of this outbreak, I consider this a top national security priority. This is not just a matter of charity — although obviously the humanitarian toll in countries that are affected in West Africa is extraordinarily significant. This is an issue about our safety. It is also an issue with respect to the political stability and the economic stability in this region,” said the commander in chief.
