President Barack Obama's health is fine a little more than a week after he traveled to Mexico, where an outbreak of swine flu has killed at least 68 people and sickened more than 1,000, the White House said Saturday.
"The president's trip to Mexico has not put his health in any danger," said spokesman Robert Gibbs.
The World Health Organization's director-general, Margaret Chan, said the outbreak of the never-before-seen virus is a very serious situation and has "pandemic potential." Obama was in Mexico last week to meet with top government officials and talk about the growing problem with drug smuggling and border violence.
Obama is being updated on the swine flu outbreak in Mexico, with the Homeland Security Council monitoring the situation along with the State Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Yes. He should be placed in quarantine immediately for the sake of the nation. Certainly standing by Napolitano exhibits the outset of mental febrility.
Bingo!
Too bad is right!!
“Can the right out-cuss the left?”
Who’s cussing - just calling a spade a spade.
Comeon, although the government admits that they won’t innoculate every American, you don’t think they’d let Obama go without innoculation, do you? This is a good example of where our system of socialized medicine is headed. If you have power—if you are a politician or know one—then you will get all the free health care you want. The rest of us will have to get our health care in Cuba.
Sooo, now he is spreading more than hate and lies, add flu virus to the list. Are they sure the virus didn’t come to Mexico through him and his hundreds of followers?
Make him stay in the WH until there’s no more cases of flu anywhere he has visited.........Let’s see, where hasn’t he visited on the taxpayer’s $$?
Keep him locked up and save $$ on fuel as well as protect the health of this country.
Of course, we all believe what these two govts tell us, don’t we? They wouldn’t lie to us about anything??
Hey good idea! Would give him yet another opportunity to avoid actually doing work.
I think Obama has traveled more in his first 100 days than Bush did in 8.
Fixed it.
Nothing to worry about. Obama never shakes hands. He bows.
The outbreak coincided with his visit to Mexico City, says the article, and folks are worried Pres. Obama might have caught it.
My immediate question is, why do they think he is not the one who brought it to Mexico in the first place?
If the CIA started AIDS, could they not also start Swine Flu in Mexico? Who would suspect the president of being a carrier?
You got that right.
He thinks those folks were fooled by his lies but after he left, they made fun of him and us for electing him.
ARGHHH! I didn’t vote for him but the rest of the world blames us all for it.
Eggsactly!
Those hundreds who go with him could easily have at least one who “carried” the virus to Mexico, willingly or otherwise.
Let that leak out and we will be paying for all of Mexico’s healthcare instead of just the ones who cross our border.
I’m just waiting for the “Apologist In Chief” (AIC)to come out with it and offer to cover all their costs and pay the families who lost loved ones.
To prove, he goes golfing when there are important Mexican Flu developments...
The first people got sick in MARCH...before he was there. Mexico assumed it was seasonal flu and not new type, so did nothing.
There is no reason to spoil a good rumor with fact! How do we know the CIA didn’t alter those lab samples to make it appear it was the new strain of flu was already present?
