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.

My sister and her hubby have been in Cancun and Cozumel since Thursday and they just called today AND ARE TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING REGARDING THIS MEXIFLU THING!
She says they have been told NOTHING by NO ONE. They are due to fly back into Boston tomorrow, and Im just wondering what sort of precautions U.S. Customs is going to take when they land.

The more I see the wall to wall coverage on CNN & nowhere else, the more I feel like it really might be a diversion.
They have so many irons in the fire it’s impossible to tell what the real issue is, which I’m sure is no accident.

That's not the Presidential Seal. That's the seal of the new cabinet department he created to keep an eye on crazy, right-wing wacko taxpayers. Here's a closer look

It seemed to me that Janet Napolitano and Dr. Richard Besser were both trying to out do the Obamanation in their stumbling presentation. It was “ah” this and “um” that to the point I started to complete their sentences for them. The odd thing is that when they started taking questions from the assembled press they threw back answers without the slightest hesitation, almost as if they knew who was going to ask and what the question would be. The last question I heard was a woman asking if there was any chance that this could have been a man caused, biological warfare attack. The good doctor started to respond and Fox switched back to Cris Wallace in the studio so I never did hear the answer.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda. If I remember right, we had a swine flu scare in the 70’s, big panic, millions got shots, started in the military. Maybe someone without dial up can pull it up, just going by memory. In my opinion, this is phony panic, plain and simple.

Thanks...it looked like some official seal. Perhaps the POTUS seal is on his cap. ;)

MUCH more than 80 have died- those are only CONFIRMED cases. Just like there are many more sick here than “20.” At least a hundred, IMO.
