President Obama should appoint a "czar" to help combat Ebola, according to Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.).

Kingston told the Washington Examiner that while he hates "to invoke the term "czar,'" President Obama should add one.
"One of the big backdrops of this is a national defense issue of germ pandemic and drone warfare," he said, calling for a "George Mitchell type character" to lead "one central office that's a clearinghouse" to unify the disparate government agencies focused on tackling the problem.
"Individually they're doing a good job, but they're in their own silo," Kingston said.
The congressman is retiring at the end of the year after losing a GOP Senate primary.
