Obama: Sneeze into Your Sleeve, Not Your Hands

Posted by Stephanie Condon

Every American has a role to play in responding to the H1N1 flu virus, President Obama said today. During an afternoon statement in the Rose Garden of the White House, Mr. Obama had a message for people to prevent the spread of the disease: Wash your hands frequently, and cover your sneezes with your sleeve, not your hands.

"I don't want anybody to be alarmed, but I do want everybody to be prepared," the president said.

The new government push about H1N1 prevention also includes a new White House health advocate: Elmo, who started appearing in government public service announcements today. (Click here for more information on the Elmo PSA and to watch one.)

An effective H1N1 vaccine is in the works, Mr. Obama said, and a flu shot program should begin soon, which he said will be voluntary but "strongly recommended."

words fail me........

[Dr. Ursus]

Spoken in Obama’s sing song voice!

[dead]

Luckily, Obama sneezes directly into his colon, so only Chris Matthews is at risk.

[newfreep]

No doubt it came from the same ivy league education that gave us "check the air in your car tires".

Sheeesh, what a maroon!

[Huebolt]

I’ll sneeze on my sleeve if odumba will quit talking out his ass.

[mlizzy]

Are you supposed to sneeze into your left sleeve if you’re a Democrat, and your right one if you’re a Republican? :)

[US Navy Vet]

And make sure your tires are inflated.

[TLI]

A pamphlet could have done the job. So, zerø, of course, gets live nationwide face time on the commie networks.

Of course...

[Diogenesis]

That's the ticket.

DNC certified, but fakem doctors.

Open borders.

Questionable or limited vaccines.

Infectious control using sleeves.

Forced isolations. Removal of the Internet.

Martial law invoked.

[ArrogantBustard]

I'd rather ...

Nope.

Not gonna say it.

Wouldn't be prudent.

[Voter62vb]

Poor Michelle...its going to be messy.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Blow it out your bottom, Dear Leader.

[Calm_Cool_and_Elected]

ROFLOL! That made my day!

[Elsiejay]

To the extent this message or its deliverer has relevance, that would be “minimize” rather than “prevent.”

[MarMema]

Inside elbow is the best place to do it.

[MarMema]

ROFL!!! Best post for a long time here....Thanks!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Good one

[MrEdd]

Howard Hughes, the next generation.

[Allegra]

"I don't want anybody to be alarmed, but I do want everybody to be prepared," the president said.

He's up to no good with this.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Remind me again about how Bush was dumb and Dear Leader is oh so smart?

[bigbob]

Would it help if we farted into our seat cushions too?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

For God’s sake... my 2 1/2 year old greatnephew already knows this...sneezes and coughs onto his sleeve

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Advice right up there with Carter’s “Wear sweaters.” or Dukakakissasses’ “Grow more Belgian endive.” or Clinton’s “Y’all might wanna put some ice on that.”

[misharu]

HUH?!!!!

[MNDude]

Last time I was at White Castle, the employee sneezed in my slider... not that those can be defiled anyhow.

[a fool in paradise]

I didn’t keep my tires properly inflated and now there is a sunspot on the sun. “I sorry!!!”

[Since 2009-07-21]

Wash your hands frequently, and cover your sneezes with your sleeve, not your hands. And if you don't wear long sleeve shirts, try two corks and ram them up your nostrils and if that doesn't work epoxy your nostrils shut and let your eardrums explode and if they explode...cover your ears with your sleeves. Please.

[a fool in paradise]

Was it Jesse Jackson? He used to do that.

[a fool in paradise]

And if you carry a snot rag, you don’t have to use good clothing as one.

[chris37]

I agree with this post.

[a fool in paradise]

Luckily, Obama sneezes directly into his colon, so only Chris Matthews is at risk.

BUMP!

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

LOL I don’t know whether to laugh or freaking cry.

[Canedawg]

You both beat me to it.

[norton]

He’ll call a presser before Friday to advise them to cut the buttons off of their school blazers so they can wipe after sneezing.

[Stosh]

And if you do sneeze into your hands, don’t be surprised if one of those evil surgeons performs a $30,000 amputation on it.

[b4its2late]

And put air in your tires so the don’t make that whoopity, whoopity, whoppity sound......

[massgopguy]

Of course not. Everyone knows you fart in the general direction of silly English Kah-niggets.

[twister881]

Sneeze into your sleeve
And inflate your tires
In hopey-changey you must believe
Though we are a pack of Marxist liars

[R0CK3T]

And we were all told how intellectually advanced this man was supposed to be over the previous occupant of the White House?

Maybe he also believes that bleeding a sick person is a preferable alternative to the current body-part-removal profiteers (aka Medical Doctors)?

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

In other BREAKING 0bama news...

He did not wear a helmet bicycling with his family.

[Osage Orange]

Is this something like that “Breathalyzer” he once spoke about???????

[Paved Paradise]

I wish I could sneeze in HIS sleeve.

[GonzoGOP]

Wash your hands frequently, and cover your sneezes with your sleeve, not your hands

Technically not bad advice. Its just not the sort of thing the president should normally be worried about. How about that unemployment, trillions of dollars in debt, Iran building nuclear weapons? No, nothing, just sneeze in my sleeve and hope and change. Got it.

[william clark]

Better yet, sneeze into your tires and decrease your fuel expenses.

[bustinchops]

ROFLOL!!!! :)

[Berlin_Freeper]

A handkerchief (also called handkercher or hanky) is a form of a kerchief, typically a hemmed square of thin fabric that can be carried in the pocket or purse, and which is intended for personal hygiene purposes such as wiping one's hands or face, or blowing one's nose.

[norton]

Wait a minute here...

If a muslim catches swine flu - does he have to kill himself?

(Just wondering why His Greatness seems so worried about it, that's all.)

[GonzoGOP]

Well in Obama’s case that Mr. Hanky.

[ichabod1]

I’m trying to think of how to get out of the habit of shaking hands with people. It’s really unnecessary much of the time and spreads disease. The Terrorist Fist Bump would be better, but still problematical.

[paulycy]

Now you must determine for yourself whether this is aimed at you or someone else (who happens to be the President of the United States... ;0)
