Obama Below Par on Swine Flu Epidemic

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


WASHINGTON -- President Obama went golfing and the Department of Health and Human Services is short a secretary, so other U.S. officials took the controls Sunday as the Obama administration ramps up efforts to find and isolate U.S. cases of swine flu.


Well, we certainly wouldn't want to keep him from his golf game, now, would we? At least four score people have died in Mexico out of 1,400 people effected. And at least 20 cases have been reported (so far) in the US.

The country apparently is running on autopilot until Obama gets around to filling positions at Treasury and Health and Human Services. However, Rob Port noted that
Obama had plenty of time to appoint an official ambassador for the international “earth hour” movement.
Wow! Gotta have your priorities in place, don'tcha know?

Update: The death toll in Mexico has now risen to 103 (11PM PDT)
