9 mins ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) – President Barack Obama has declared swine flu a "national emergency," the White House said Saturday, as the United States reels from millions of cases of infection and over 1,000 deaths.

It always looks big unless it is a photoshopped official WH release. Here are the newest, you tell me if it looks big. Look how much room that big ole thing takes up in her chair compared to Queen Silvia of Sweden.

You are welcome.

Is it easy enough to read? I am thinking about gussying it up to make is easier and do it in tile/type with bullet points.

The way I would write a business letter or proposal.

Let me know. I think this whole thing is stupid and everything is going to be called the Swine Flu, including that bad case of acne I had last week.

My belief is that he is itching for any excuse to declare a national emergency in order to increase and consolidate his power.

Agreed. All the low hanging fruit has been plucked from the American economic tree, and it will take more extraordinary means to continue the looting of America.

Wow, your friend is quite a sturdy trooper there. God Bless her every single day.

I mentioned MRSA because i have a friend who got MRSA after stepping on a nail while working. He went thru a year of intraveneous antibiotics that were injected into a port put in his chest. He was relatively young compared to your dear friend and so he made it. He doesn’t wake up and say “oh what a beautiful morning!” but then he never did before so there it is. But he’s a wonderful human being and it’s because of him that i learned the ins and outs of MRSA. Nasty business!

It’s a disgrace. No wonder the rest of the world is viewing us as weak and laughing at us.

This man is so self centered it’s surprising he doesn’t make himself dizzy.

Something is wrong when 1,000 DEAD AMERICANS on American soil in the short span of a few months is no big deal. I cannot think of another country that has a cavalier mindset like that.

1000 Dead Americans will be the name of my rock band.

"Sbelius had a basal cell carcinoma removed from her eyelid."

I heard she took a cuff link in the eye while coughing into her sleeve.

Obama is the president who cried wolf. IMO, they’re shooting for apathy.

If you are looking for the proclamation, it’s in the world net daily article. I posted the link above.

“>>> Did the administration make a Saturday announcement to change the topic of the Sunday news shows?? <<<

Strange item here..

FOXNews reported early this am that NO Administration Officials would appear on ANY Networks Talk Shows Tomorrow Morning... thought that was strange when it was announced..

can anyone confirm tomorrow’s “Sunday Morning Talk List” ??”

I’m not answering your question(har har)but remember that on last Sunday’s talk shows, Twinkle Toes and Arseholerod tried their best to de-legitimize FoxNews.
And then the rest of the week was spent on FoxNews, until Wed. or Thurs. when the illustrious Obama admin. tried to exclude FoxNews from round-robin interviews with pay czar Feinberg.
At which point the WH press pool gave the administration the finger, as if to say,”you must be out of your frigging minds” or something similar.
Obummer signed this proclamation on Friday(to my knowledge). Announced it on Saturday.
And that’s where we are now.

B.O’s numbers are tanking, and I find the timing strange with the proclamation of this “emergency.” Have he and HIS family received the vaccine? If not, why not? Interesting that this crisis came along right as the media was focused on Afghanistan (which has been the big story this week) and his crybaby antics over FOX news. I’d like to see a graph of when his contrived diversions occur.

Even little ol’ me knows that closing the border early on, when the first case was revealed, would have been the sensible thing to do. I’m no doctor, but I learned a few things in school and in life. One is that you CONTAIN pathogens in order to disarm them and prevent pandemics. B.O. has acted as though he WANTED it to spread throughout the U.S.

Thanks for the link...I will add it to my home page on which I keep this...

DOWNSIDE LEGACY OF THE CLINTONS, A THOROUGH EXPOSE BY FREEPER ALAMO GIRL

I believe that the Clintons began this takeover of the government and Obama just pushed them aside and used his race to implement it.
