WASHINGTON — The U.S. declared a public health emergency Sunday to deal with the emerging new swine flu, much like the government does to prepare for approaching hurricanes.
...
At a White House news conference, Besser and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano sought to assure Americans that health officials are taking all appropriate steps to minimize the impact of the outbreak.
...
Swine flu. Oh dear, what should we do? Government, please help us. We do not want to get the swine flu.
Look how on top of the situation the administration is. Janet is out there assuring us of the proper measures being taken. BOTO is golfing, I mean receiving hourly updates on the situation.
Don't worry about the emergency, though. See how much better this administration is than the Katrina-era administration?
It's a good think BOTO got out of Mexico (where this thing started) just in time. You conspiracy theorists out there can forget about him personally planting this distraction. Stop thinking that right now!
So, once public places are shuttered, like schools, etc. You people are probably going to go a little stir crazy. But hey, when it's over, think of the spending that will pull us out of this little recession. Not to mention the need for grave diggers to bury all the dead people...that should take care of the unemployment problem.
Yeah, rest assured people. We got another capable Janet, like the one from Nevada in the Clinton administration.
Take advantage of the crisis, right Rham-ster?
