Obama said Thursday night that appointing an Ebola czar would free up federal officials who have been leading the U.S. response to domestic Ebola cases, such as Dr. Tom Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "They are also responsible for a whole bunch of other stuff," the president said, according to pool reports. A point person for the Ebola response will "make sure we're crossing all the T's and dotting all the I's," Obama said.
