If 90,000 Americans die from Swine Flu, then it will be because the Obama administration FAILED. They had more than enough notice, more than enough time, to have a vaccine ready and waiting (assuming the vaccine is effective at protecting people from contracting Swine Flu).

Obama = EPIC FAIL

Satan offers death gleefully to those unbelievers among us for his own purposes. And Satan has many followers today.
unfortunately, most of them work on Capitol Hill

I don't buy it. They are cranking out that vaccine fast. Back in the 70's people ending up getting real sick from the flu shots, I think some died.

In fact I just got over having some kind of flu bug. I had read about elderberry syrup doing a better job then tamaflu. Tried it, not sure if it really worked or not. I got sick about 5 days ago and this afternoon I'm pretty much back to normal. I'm thinking it works like zinc for colds does. It probably cut the severity down and the length.

This sounds wacky but everybody should read it anyway — deadly disease or deadly plot?

Thank God that President Bush has prepared this country for the worse by stockpiling medicines during his administration. Too bad that Obama has not continued that effort.

If Obama and his minions were really worried about this...why have we not heard about their preperations to deal with the sick and dying? It is already the beginning of FLU SEASON for christ’s sake!! We haven’t heard of them doing anything(other than the stupid vaccines and they are even doing that piss poorly)!

They should have been ordering more breathing machines, antibiotics, emergency hospital beds and setting up methods for dealing with this so called ‘crisis’. They have done nothing..zip,zero,nada in that regard. Obama and the democrats are too busy pushing his marxist bills down our throats. If this really does develop into a genuine crisis...we are screwed!

And it’s just a coincidence that Obama is out of reach to appear before the people only to see his popularity numbers nose dive—again.

According to CDC data, there have been 350 swine flu deaths in the U.S. as of July 31st. This number is less than 4 percent of the 90,000 death estimate. Yes, I realize that the disease is supposed to be worse this Fall.

I looked through the CDC data and nowhere have they explained the huge disparity between actual and predicted deaths.

14% of the local schools (100 or so) were out last week here.My grand-daughter was one,other than makin’ her sick for a few days nothing.Alabama is not even testing for H1N1,these folks are just going to say it’s Swine.

And we are suppose to get on board and believe these people.
Not in this House.

“Obama can deny flu vaccines to the elderly and save money for more important stuff like Presidential vacations.”

so true.


Picture this: apreritifs on Cape Cod.....

(tinkling a fork on a wine glass)

The guy over in the corner, with a strong drag on his Camel, says, “It’ll be about time. I’ll get’em.”

Droll. Very droll. Golf clap.

A statement which no doubt warms the cockles of all those engaging in their Tapas out at Martha’s Vineyard this evening.

The flu, traditionally, is a highly efficient
way of pruning the elderly and infirm population.

Should do great things for ObamaCare,
and make life so much easier for them.

Medicare is much cheaper when the
oldsters just die off. /sarc

90,000 deaths sounds like a government answer to global warming....

That many fewer bodies breathing out CO2 and driving evil cars around. (Sarcasm alert!)

Bravo! That is the real message here.

The 90,000 number was probably dragged out of this administration. It is the lowest estimate I've seen in the last two weeks. With WHO reporting a mortality rate of nearly 1% and others projecting 0.5% most estimates are twice that.

Obama and his HSS has been hiding the threat because HSS botched vaccine delivery (and liberals certainly remember what they did to Bush the year there was a shortage).
