Dallas nurse Nina Pham was happily declared Ebola-free and released from the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., Friday. Just a few hours after she was released from the hospital, Pham, her mother, and her sister got to visit the Oval Office and meet the president.
According to US News, the White House allowed only photographers to witness Obama’s greeting of Pham.

It was only a few months ago that Obama refused to visit the border while he was in Texas as part of his #BearIsLoose/Playing pool and eating BBQ with the folks/ nationwide tour.
Pressure was mounting from members of both parties for him to respond to the influx of tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors, mostly from Central America, who had been crossing the border illegally.
The president said, “This isn’t theater. I’m not interested in photo ops.” *rimshot*
