Three agencies are teaming up with Sesame Street to prepare school children for the new threat of the H1N1 virus.
The White House announced Tuesday morning that the Homeland Security, Education, and Health and Human Services departments are enlisting the help of Elmo and Gordon from the long-running educational show to teach children how to avoid H1N1, also know as the swine flu.
President Barack Obama is scheduled to meet with the secretaries of those three agencies and other administration officials later Tuesday afternoon to discuss the threat.
Elmo, Gordon, the Sesame Workshop and the federal agencies will try to teach children, through public service announcements, steps they can take to prevent contracting or spreading the potentially deadly flu strain.

I wonder if Elmo will announce his endorsement for 2012?

The normal seasonal flu is also generally classified as H1N1. Such a basic point glossed over...

Am I the only person who sees the word “hiney” in H1N1? For real, that’s what springs to mind when I first see it.

They already have a muppet with AIDS.
Pig flu shouldn't be much of a stretch.

A very closely-related word springs to my mind when I see the word "Obama".

Well, at least with children, “O” will be on his own intellectual level. …AND…
• THEY won’t have embarrassing questions
• THEY won’t carry signs and protest
• THEY don’t don’t have that wealth of experience and education which creates that undeniable gut-level aversion and nagging reservation about things ‘just too good to be real’
• THEY don’t have the kind of inquisitiveness adults possess as to just HOW THE HELL such a flim flam POS can pass for the President of the United States of America!!!

“teaming up with Sesame Street’
Finally, we now know where Obama gets his advise and ideas.

Robot Chicken had a skit where bird flu hit Sesame Street. Big Bird didn't survive.

Will a Health Panel decide that Elmo is too much of a drain upon Sesame Street’s health care system and deny treatment?

We all know that our government has to tell our children to wash hands or they may get the flu because the marxists think they have to control all.
As well as Obama’s education scheme is to keep schools a COMMUNITY place and open all the time because parents are TOO BUSY.

Gee that's odd, the CDC said, and four newspapers actually reported that the CDC said they don't expect the pig flu should be no worse than an average flu, and probably less.
But then the hype is building, isn't it ... I wonder why?
Get the news while it's still there. Story here

I wonder how they’ll use this to push for socialized medicine via our children. ...the same way they always have. It's sold as "helping others" and "sharing".
The ugly part about having no CHOICE in the matter is conveniently hidden, not to mention the larger consequences.
