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.

The real story is that nothing is what it appears. Nothing about 0bama is cut and dry. Rham likes crisis-es and says they should be exploited. We are at the mercy of the MSM and who is the MSM for? Right has become wrong and up has become down.

AuntB, I've grown cynical the last few months. When 0bama bowed to the Saudi and yucked it up with Chavez I knew we were done. I don't know the real story. Only Rham and 0 know that. All I know is, what they consider good, I consider bad. If they declare a crisis I look at the big picture not the birdie in the camera.

Looks like he is checking to see if he has dog doo on his shoe....lol!!

We need a photoshop of the toga-clad Øbamessiah playing the fiddle.

Silly to bash Obama on this. The whole swine flu “outbreak! pandemic!” hysteria is overblown and won’t be on the front pages a week from now.

I notice that some "brothers" seem to have moved up a notch in the Secret Service. Are they wearing little red bow ties under their standard issue?

and BTW....."Pantywaist in Chief" doesn't even come CLOSE to describing this effeminate Kenyan priss.

Yup, little o was not bothered, because he is COOOOOOOL. Or perhaps it is brain-dead.

Or maybe the nice folks that engineered the disease sold or bartered inoculations months ago.

I know, cooked too many tostadas without changing the foil and all that....

It may be al qaeda at work... they said they would hit us hard and this MAY be it. If so... hussein’s career is over. He will just count out the days on a calender. Cheney is right... we are in more danger due to hussein that we were before the muslim took over.

I don’t see an Adam’s apple, so it’s definitely not Michelle.

[maggief]

Either that or his rear end is sore from the Mexican flu.

;oD

I have not laughed so hard in weeks. Thanks Freepers,Post 51 is harlious I can think of sooo many funny captions but is more fun reading this.

When has he golfed before — he doesn’t seem to have a clue with the way he is sitting in the golf cart like some little kid.

Screw you Democrats - this IS going to be worse than Katrina and the record shows your Lord and Sovereign so worried that he was playing golf. Far more deaths will come from this and it will (and should be) tattooed to King Barry's butt that you all played golf and now politics to cover your stupid butts. He SHOULD have closed the border, he should have cancelled all inbound flight (or at least had those passengers quarantined, in short - he should have been bothered to be concerned enough to think about securing the safety of the citizens he claims are so important to him.

George W Bush WOULD HAVE done what it took to keep American's SAFE.

By this blatant disregard for the safety of the American Public, BHO is CLEARLY, the lesser of the 2 Leaders. In fact he's hardly considerable as the Leader of this country IMO.

0bama played golf while the sick people who would kill American's streamed into the country.

[RatsDawg]

Golfing for Swine Flu.

well said....

[PghBaldy]

I thought the same thing.

[trisham]

Oh, for Pete's sake. The man has been so busy, he's probably exhausted. Give him a break.

[maica]

It’s not enough to want to be compared to JFK, FDR, and Lincoln, now The One wants to be compared to Tiger Woods.

[maica]

Create a crisis:
1) get Americans to concede even more freedom to the government.

2) get even more money circulating in untrackable ways.

As they've been doing since this know nothing took office, prancing around the US or partying weekly while he delegated to his staff. Frankly was he even needed?
