Aides: Obama clear of swine flu symptoms
WASHINGTON, April 26 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama is clear of any swine flu symptoms after making a trip to Mexico this month, officials say.
Obama visited Mexico, scene of dozens of deaths attributed to a new variant of the swine flu virus, on April 16, shaking hands at one point with a Mexican archaeologist who died within 24 hours of the meeting from the swine flu outbreak, the British tabloid The Daily Mail reported.
But White House spokesman Josh Earnest indicated Sunday that Obama's health is not in danger.
"His doctors have advised him that his trip to Mexico has not put his health in any danger," Earnest told The New York Daily News.
The newspaper said administration aides have refused to say what procedures Obama's doctors have taken, such as whether he was tested for the illness or underwent any inoculations, but one unnamed aide told the Daily News, "I can tell you that the president doesn't have any symptoms, and his doctors advised that there was no need for him to be tested."
What? nObama has Aides?
Doh. Headline should include “we were all.....” not, we we all. I asked admin mod to change.
Doesn’t make him any less of a swine!
My apology to pigs everywhere.
My hope is that while Obama won’t have the symptoms, he passed the flu on to Chavez when he shook his hand.
If that indeed happens, Obama would be a hero.
Doug, you idiot. Pay attention: swine flu, not flue.
Great headline writing.
SWINE FLU?
pig flu.....obama flu....
same difference....the biggest pig ever......
speaking of pigs....does the O eat pork, being Muslim?
Well, at least he hasn’t got the flu.
You’ve got some pull with those corrections. How about petitioning for all the HTML challenged headline writers and their hieroglyphics?
He does not yet show the symptoms associated with Man-Bird-Pig flu ~ but he could any minute now.
Any aides convey the possibility of Obama being a carrier and being immune?
I was jus’ sayin’ “Keep Hope Alive”.
We were all assuming that he might have caught it from that fellow who died, but it's certainly possible he passed it on to that fellow who then died from it.
Drats! foiled again.
Ya know, funny thing.... I havent seen a picture of him touching that dog either. Actually, the one of him “jogging” down the hallway looks to me like the Muzzie Prez is running away from the nasty creature.
“Well, at least he hasn’t got the flu.”
“that’s too bad, wish he had the worst case scenario....
flu, pneumonia ...too sick to hand out any orders
The world’s worst always seem to live the longest. Not like you could ever expect 0bama to take one for the country. He’s not for personal sacrifice. He would rather sacrifice the country.
I am glad my president wasn’t exposed to a dangerous flu virus.
I am glad my president wasn’t exposed to a dangerous flu virus.
I am glad my president wasn’t exposed to a dangerous flu virus.
I am glad my president wasn’t exposed to a dangerous flu virus.
What?! I’m doing a mantra here...
