Much as I hate to say it, the president did the right thing about this recent H1N1 flu hybrid strain- he ignored it and played golf. If he'd wanted to actually be a leader, he had two options- take charge or let it play out. He of course chose the latter, because the former impinged on his ability to "pursue happiness" at our expense.
In all honesty and in my semi-professional opinion, the media mandates are blowing it out of proportion. If only what 150 people worldwide caught it and only 30 of those died, why are they bouncing around the concepts of pandemic and epidemic? Unlike some a priori, "swine flu" resembles those weak strains they use to vaccinate us, so if you want to avoid a flu shot, go out and catch it.
Instead, our fearless leader proposes common sense items that we would do anytime to avoid getting sick. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, avoid common areas, stay home and rest. Who does he think he is, my mother? We all do those things. Sometimes people get sick. That's why you have an immune system. If he really cared about your well being, he might have availed himself of the opportunity to talk about behavior and lifestyle modifications that would render America healthier like adequate rest and hydration, frequent physical exertion, and portion control.
Obama has never really been a paragon of self control. In his own book, he confesses with braggadocio that he whiled away many a day dragging on weed or other narcotics. Besides, he wants a different type of control- control over YOUR life. Listen to how often they say one should never underestimate the opportunity presented by a crisis to advance a statist agenda. That's something we don't want to catch.
