The H1N1 nightmare is a grotesque example of the complete abject failure and incompetence of the Obama administration. Barack Obama's inability and paralysis to act is the most recent example of his failure as a president and as a leader. 7 months to act after declaring a national emergency, his paltry response makes the Bush administration response to Katrina(of which they had exponentially less time to act) look like lightspeed.
Up next for inaction and subsequent disaster due to Obama's failure to act - Afghanistan.

Well less people will be up to fight me for resources when SHTF. Nice going people you just put yourself at risk for Guillain-Barre syndrome and a nice dose of mercury. Do you not know that the nasal spray actually contains a live virus?
This was a lab engineered virus not a natural occurrence. The WHO said the best way to get over it was isolate yourself and use traditional home methods to recover. There is no need to get this shot, it will put you at way more risk than possibly catching the normal flu. DON"T GET THE SHOT!!!!!

Most of the comments on this thread are made by uneducated people. Take a science class in immunology and stop mouthing off about what you don't know. There's a reason why the US lags behind the rest of the world in education and all of you Glenn Beck/Rush followers exhibit this with you make your baseless comments on how unsafe vaccinations are. Your comments really show that you live in the 18th century. It's 2009, get with it or join the Taliban in their caves.

At least Obama has yet to say "Good job, Brownie". Please, compare apples to apples and not apples to garbage.

Obama hasn't said "good job" to anyone in his administration for anything because he wants all the credit for any successes. Except he hasn't had any.

And Joe, calling Obama garbage is a good description of this president.

Nice comeback, Bob. Watch more Fox news. Also, I know you're not that bright, so I'll have to point out to you that that was sarcasm. Heh.

I've heard said that people that don't take the HINI flu shots could be considered terrorists for putting everyone else at risk. It's even been rumored that "they" (the government) my actually enforce mandatory injections on the populace to try and curb this influenza. If that being the case, I reckon that forced identification or the Mark of the Beast can't be far behind.

Personally speaking, as it stands right now, if everyone gets the shots, why in hell would I have to take it ? because the percentages of me getting the virus would be drastically diminished if everyone gets immunized.

It might surprise you Joe that I don't watch Fox News. I know you won't believe me, but there's not much I can do about that. I would like to point out that I did not and have not insulted you. Insults do not contribute to reasoned and constructive debate of an issue.

It might surprise you that I am in favor of vaccines. While there will be those negatively affected, the greater good out weighs the bad. I myself plan on getting vaccinated. I have not as of yet because I am in a low risk group. With the limited about of vaccine available due to the failure to act decisively by the failed Obama administration, higher risk individuals should be inoculated first.

Nope. Obama hires czars like Van Jones who publicly say they are communists and anarchists and hire czars like Cass Sunstein who say there should be secret sterilizations of citizens. Those make "Good job, Brownie" look like the "I Have a Dream" speech.

Obama you idiot, how is swine flu different than a normal seasonal influenza? Not to trivialize things but the death counts are similar. This is going to cause a panic.
