Napolitano called the emergency declaration standard operating procedure — one was declared recently for the inauguration and for flooding. She urged people to think of it as a "declaration of emergency preparedness."

Ah, yes we all remember the US Media headlines about the state of emergency that was declared for the inauguration and the flooding. Get ready to report to the camps folks.

Whats-his-face had Julie Gerberding resign when his administration came in so now we don’t have a Secretary of Health & Human Services, nor do we have a Surgeon General. Hence Napolitano, who is clueless. God I hope the GOP is asking urgent questions. Here we are almost in May with the DHS seriously undermanaged and understaffed.

Incompetent does not even begin to describe Napolitano.

She punted the main question under her jurisdiction (one of only two good questions from the usual dolt press corps) on bioterrorism to her underling at CDC.

The 64 thousand dollar question (the other good one asked) was why the dying in Mexico and not here so far- and relatively milder symptoms etc.. Bressor said there are “hypothesises” but no conclusions yet.

Napolitano is a natural disaster.

In almost all these cases, it’s an overreaction. Of course, that is not necessarily wrong. Better safe than sorry, so to speak.

The media should have learned that a new pandemic just isn’t going to happen though. (In the western world that is)

It’s a fish market Janet! Nothing to get your panties in a wad over Mademe Secretary. Don’t worry the Mexican Obama Swine Flu Pandemic is on it’s way Janet. Too bad fish is not a carrier?

This administration appears to be unprepared.

They will in the end act irresponsible and slam our civil rights, never let a crisis go .

Be prepared trust your family , your neighbors and god.

From an article on Drudge:

“Gibbs was asked if the president’s decision to golf Sunday at Andrews Air Force Base was part of a White House strategy to reassure people.

Gibbs chuckled and replied: “I’m not sure I’d draw a DIRECT conclusion.”

They actually believe Obama is only playing golf to reassure Americans...lol. It doesn’t get any better than that. If Bush had done this..the press would have crucified him.

I don’t get it. They declare a public health emergency but do not issue a travel warning.
