Thing is; most people didn't care about that. They were more interested in the tan suit Obama wore to the press conference. His suit sent Twitter users into meltdown.

Residents of Johnsonville Township, outside Monrovia in Liberia are claiming that dogs are digging up the corpses of Ebola victims buried in shallow graves in Liberia and eating them in the streets. Though security personnel guarding the area have refuted this, the residents insist it's been happening for days...that wild dogs have been going to the 'Ebola graveyard' in Johnsonville, digging up corpses, dragging them into the open and feeding on their flesh. They are blaming government health officials who hurriedly bury Ebola victims after they die in shallow graves at night. Now the residents fear that the dogs could pass the virus to humans.
