With the recent decision by Obama to declare Swine flu a national emergency I remembered a blog posting I had written back in April about the spread of Swine Flu into our country. Unfortunately it seems like a fitting blog posting to repost again. What you are about to read I had written on April 27th 2009. Take a quick read and let's open up the comment thread, I would love to hear what everyone has to say about this.

Title: Is Swine Flu the Next Crisis Opportunity?
I am starting to see the change. However it’s not change that I believe in. It disgusts me that people actually support Obama as he leads us into the oblivious world of the left. Let’s take a look at the spread of the “swine flu” around our country. Let’s just get one thing straight, this is not some pig flu as liberals want everyone to think. This is a virus that was created in a laboratory. This strain of flu is a hybrid of human, swine and bird flu. Viruses like this are manufactured, they do not occur naturally.
As far as the out break and our response, well, “Big Sister” Napolitano has said "We are simply in preparation mode. We do not yet know how widespread this flu will be within the United States, so we continue to move aggressively to prepare." This just sounds like a wait and see approach to me. Let me decode the liberal talk into a language we all understand.
Let’s just examine the last part of her statement. “…we continue to move aggressively to prepare”. Notice she said nothing about taking any action to combat the current outbreak of this virus that has already spread through the USA and Mexico. She is basically saying we will prepare for the actual spread of this virus but not attempt to contain it. She then said "We are proceeding as if we are preparatory to a full pandemic." There it is again, that sneaky little word preparatory. However this last statement is even more disturbing. Did you happen to catch that she said “as if” meaning that they are not even in preparatory mode but they are acting as if they were. So what are you saying Janet, that the administration is not going to act until this is a major issue and the United States has a severe break out of this virus in wide spread areas making it even more difficult to eradicate.
Obama has said that this outbreak is “not cause for alarm.” Are you kidding me??? Part of this flu virus contains the virus A-H1N1 which is Bird Flu. I think we have all seen now how fast this can spread. Why not take action now? People in Mexico are dying with 149 already dead and a suspected estimate of 2000 infected. We have only seen mild illness in the USA however who’s to say the spread of this will not get worse.
Needless to say I imagine it will be difficult to do much of anything considering the number if illegal aliens that can cross through our Swiss cheese border that this very administration does not want to protect. As if putting up flu tests at border crossings will do the trick. Maybe all of you liberal goons should not have been so against protecting our borders from illegal immigrants. Thousand of people still cross our borders illegally every month and we have done nothing to stop this. Now how many people could be crossing with this virus? I’m sure it would not hurt to step up border patrol as well to keep Mexicans from coming over with this virus. However with the insane catch and release tactics I doubt very much that would make a difference.
Naturally all of this hits us at a time when our economy is at its weakest. Already travel advisories to the USA and Mexico are going up around the world. A flu outbreak like this can cause other countries to restrict travel and trade with the USA. Maybe we should be doing that with Mexico for the time being, but like I said, with all of the illegal immigration, does it really matter. It is very apparent that this administration is just going to let it spread, just like spreading the wealth. To be totally upfront and honest, I think Obama wants this to spread into our country. This would be a great marketing ploy for his universal health coverage. Maybe this is why the administration does not view this as a threat, because it actually can help to boost their agenda. And once again as both Hillary and Rahm know, this is a great crisis to help achieve their agenda so they will let it take form.
