WASHINGTON -- President Obama went golfing and the Department of Health and Human Services is short a secretary, so other U.S. officials took the controls Sunday as the Obama administration ramps up efforts to find and isolate U.S. cases of swine flu.
During a White House briefing, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that HHS will issue a public health emergency warning that will free up resources to address the outbreak that has hit 20 Americans in five states.
Richard Besser, acting head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the agency is prepared to move millions of doses of the U.S. anti-virus stockpile to areas of early and potential outbreaks.

>Don’t know for sure but I think the other guy is Leonid Brezhnev.<
Huh? Are you kidding?
“When he died of a heart attack on November 10, 1982, aged 75, Brezhnev was honoured with one of the largest and most impressive funerals in the world. A four-day nationwide mourning was announced. As his body lay in state, a long queue of mourners shuffled past. The ceremony was broadcast on every television channel. The front row of seats was reserved for the dead leaders family his wife and their two children, Galina and Yuri.”
LOL. We are going to drop like flies from a Mexican Flu and Obama is in charge... I imagine he will continue to get sillier and sillier as the crisis progresses. Thousands will die, and they’ll be doing the Conga Line in the WH still...
I read a few weeks ago somewhere that POTUS does NOT work on the weekends. He’s doing good getting the hourly updates. /s
maggief, I know you can’t rest not knowing how he played today, so I am pleased to tell you that Jake Tapper has been working overtime for us today:
White House trip director Marvin Nicholson beat President Obama in golf today.
The president did beat the other two in the foursome — Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk.
The four played at the Andrews Air Force Base golf course from 9:45 a.m. until 3 p.m. According to the pool report, the president arrived at the course wearing sunglasses, a cream-colored baseball cap, short-sleeved shirt and khaki shorts. The temperature neared 90 degrees on the course at times.

I know I’m relieved.
How do I get this telepromptermobile to work? There's no display, there's no display!

Did our Dear Leader break North Korea’s Dear Leader’s record of 18 holes in one?
I remember a day when the Libs criticized Bush for continuing to read to children following 9/11.
“Something is going on and it aint about pig flu.”
The perpetual manufactured crisis - one thing following another, all creating an air of urgency among the tax serfs to facilitate approval/support/etc. for whatever drastic legislation they push.
Yep. I found this link searching my sometimes failed memory bank ‘cause I knew at some point we have been here and this:

In response to the tea parties, I present “The UN Strain”.
Look, we need to show compassion here. Lets leave the borders open, and as they enter we can find and treat them.
Also, we can have our border patrol hand out tissues, and painters masks, in an effort to help contain this.
I’m sorry how insensitive of me, but I think we should set up aid stations in the desert with water, vaccine and air conditioned shuttle buses to US hospitals for anyone remotely appearing sick. And make Home Depot let them all stay inside to stay cool while waiting to steal day work from Americans.
No, no... look at them both. The presidential seal is what’s on zer0’s shirt.
I think the 180 is what Biden gave us a clue to when he said Obambi would be tested and we might not like how he handles it!
I read a few weeks ago somewhere that POTUS does NOT work on the weekends. Hes doing good getting the hourly updates. /s
When Reagan did that, they called him old and lazy. But when the O does it, it is somehow evidence that he smarter than all of us. Fidiot.
And Michelle's fabulous designers are hard at work making him look fabulous when Fidel and Raoul come up to the White House to join him in the conga line!
An anthroplogist/archaeologist in Mexico DIED a week after he met Barack Obama. How bizarre is that? Obama may be a carrier. (A Senor Solis)
That’s what I thought!
What are bro-sierre and MJ? I really don’t know what they are.
