The White House is issuing a health advisory to anyone who traveled on President Barack Obama’s trip to Mexico, after a member of the U.S. delegation came down with flu-like symptoms – and tests on that staffers’ family showed they are probably infected with the swine flu.
After saying just last week that no one who traveled to Mexico City for the president's visit contracted the flu, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced that a lead advance person for Energy Secretary Steven Chu came down with flu-like symptoms after the trip and appears to have spread the flu to three members of his family.
Tests on the individual came back negative – probably because too much time elapsed after he got back – but tests on his family showed they have the influenza virus. A test for the swine flu strain – known as H1N1 – showed they are probable for that.

Hmmmmmm. Just think of all those reporters and all the hordes of people he took with him. Wow.
Beat me by less than a minute!
This is going to cause major problems for 0bama supporters. They will be beside themselves with worry over their leaders health.
Should have closed the borders while Bambi was still there.
Oops!
This is getting beyond ridiculous. Everytime someone comes down with ‘flu-like symptoms’ it is reported as the case that crossed the line into pandemic. I do not question the need to take this seriously, but damn, maybe I should call and report my upper respiratory symtoms. The media can scare the crap out of everyone only to find out it is seasonal allergies.
For a messiah, odumba is not too smart. What is the common factor? M-E-X-I-C-O Maybe one horse left the barn, but Mexico has more than one horse. DUH!
Close the damned borders. Why allow the increased exposure? Double DUH!
2. One of the people who shook Obama's hand is dead from swine flu.
Who is patient 0 (zero)?
Close the damned borders. Why allow the increased exposure? Double DUH!
Every infected person crossing the border is a new disease vector. Why don't we stop adding to the new of case here, and let our medical system deal with what's here already?
Stoopid beyond belief - so much so that I am beginning to wonder if it is simple stupidity (and I lump in the PC crap in this catagory) or something else.
BINGO! Contain what is in Mexico and treat what is here.
An Administration of Swine and only One comes down with wine Flu! Quite Remarkable!:-)/s/
Couldn’t someone have offered Bambi to Hugo Chave as a Goodwill Present from the Citizens of the United States, to keep Forever in His Utopia of Venezuala?
The OPEN BORDERS/ECONOBOTS would just as soon have every American sick or dead before they’d consider shutting down the border. It’ll never happen.
It won’t be long before Mexicans realize that Americans are surviving while Mexicans are dying...and they’ll be flooding the borders for the FREE medical care we Americans must pay for. The Open Borders/Econobots will tell us it is our compassionate DUTY to treat them.
Thank you for posting this most revolting of all pictures which the media has clearly tried to eradicate! The RNC should make a LARGE POSTER of this creapy and disgusting “Handembrace!”* They clearly had agreed to this sick show of bonding prior to this putrid greeting!:-(
* This is in NO WAY a U.S. Presidential handshake, it is straight from the Hollywood Ghetto movies.Hoping Rush, Hannity, Farah will make Posters and Tee Shitrs with this image on it and a clothespin sealing an offended Nose!
Swell.
