Just like MILLIONS of Democrats insisted that Bush was behind the 9/11 attacks. Now the Republicans are saying Obama is behind this very unnatural (it's the wrong season and the type of strain that it is) swine flue pandemic. So, tell me there Democrats, how do you like it. How do you like it that people will now start saying this swine flu outbreak is a Democrat OBAMA CONSPIRACY?

All the scientists I've heard speak about it say it's a part of the natural process of flu and virus changes. The only people talking about it being a mysterious, unnatural thing are right-wing conspiracy nutjobs who are usualy no better educated than at a HS level at best.-

Actually, they're saying this swine flu strain is unlike anything they have ever encountered before.

And yes, it's NOT normal to have it crop up at this time of year either. But hey, don't let facts get in your way. Go ahead and beleive what ever you want to beleive, you do still have that right. SO FAR you do, that is. But that's all likely to change soon!-

It unusual, but not improbable. The flu can occur in any season. Flus tend to spread faster in the winter because kids are cloistered in schools which become microbial stews. Microbiologists have been warning for decades about increasing frequency and potency of pandemics that will be increasingly difficult to treat, particularly in poverty-stricken, densely-populated areas. It's a natural, evolutionary consequence of the over-aggressive use of antibiotics and disinfectants.

interesting, cause see I noticed from well okay my mother mentioning it being the wrong time of year too so I just figured it was some right-wing crack or something got ahold of it and f*cked with the natural order of things ("Now, squeeaaaalll like a pig!!!!"). I'm glad to hear that it is just a weirda$$ bug that happened to come on in the off-flu season.

Um, hard-core 'truthers' constitute a bare fraction of the nation. What is undeniable is that Bush had intelligence in his hands that al Qaeda was planning to fly aircraft into buildings. I don't think he wanted attacks to happen, I think he just didn't take the threat seriously.
Now, if Obama had been informed of the outbreaks by the WHO and scoffed, then you might have a point. As it stands, "...the government has 50 million doses of Tamiflu and Relenza, the two drugs that can treat the current swine flu virus, on hand and will soon move 25 percent -- or 12.5 million doses -- to states with confirmed cases of the disease."
