Obama Declares Swine Flu As National Emergency

President Barack Obama somewhat scared the nation today, as he announced the Swine Flu is a "national emergency".

Adversaries of Obama, likely part of the coalition of nearly 49% of American people who are for some reason adverse to the flu shot, are already expressing outrage over Obama's announcement.

Following the scares after the announcement of the Avian bird flu and SARS, it can be quite well understood why some people may remain skeptical about falling into another panic over this potential 'disastrous' illness.

Yet, one important adage remains: better safe than sorry. Why not prepare for the worst in regard to this flu virus, which could technically always mutate and cause widespread problems.

The bottom line here is that a flu virus should not become an issue of partisan politics. Let's find some honest medical experts and have them give an analysis of what we should do this winter, in regard to the flu. What's wrong with that, not even bickering?
