"This is how we will create a North American consciousness and a true North American Community. It will be forged in the heat of conflict, not through a rational discussion, as painful as that may be. It really cannot happen any other way."- Bruce Stokes, CFR Senior Fellow, speaking at the "Toward a North American Community?" conference (June 11, 2002)

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC calls on the Obama administration to immediately close the southern border and restrict all inbound air and ground traffic from Mexico to emergencies and product delivery immediately to protect American lives from the Mexican Swine Flu outbreak.
"The Obama administration's failure to secure our borders against a possible pandemic is putting American lives at risk at a time when days and hours matter," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "The weak and inadequate "passive surveillance" described during Sunday's press conference is offensive to the rational mind."
Instead of advising American tourists not to travel to Mexico, or closing border crossings and air travel gates to essential travel only, the Obama administration is treating Mexico like a 51st state, instead of separate nation.
ALIPAC is also critical of Obama administration's failure to appoint key leadership prior to this crisis. America is entering this crisis without a secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) or appointees in any of the department’s 19 key posts. President Barack Obama has not yet chosen a surgeon general or the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. His choice to run the Food and Drug Administration awaits confirmation.
"Obama was playing golf Sunday. Instead, he should have been addressing the nation, securing the borders, and filling the gaps in our government leadership from an emergency command center!" said William Gheen. "He refuses to send troops to the border to stop the violence from spilling over or the Mexican flu from crossing into America. Instead we get second tier bureaucrats telling Americans to wash our hands and cover our mouths when we cough like a bunch of 1st grade students."
As was reported
here: Obama was in Mexico and Obama's host on a meauseam tour died the day after he met Obama. So does Obama have swine flu or did he bring it with him? He meets with the guy and the next day he is dead! Perhaps Obama should be quarantined. Or maybe he has the antidote?
Even more disturbing is this story showing
missing vials of weaponized flu from an Army Biolab? Is there a connection between these missing vials and an outbreak that coincides with Obama's visit to Mexico? Is this the crises Biden predicted? What does Biden know about this and when did he know it? Is it a CFR hatched plot to create a crises and then a false solution?
We are however reassured by the White house:
John Brennan, White House homeland-security adviser, said there is “no evidence whatsoever” of bioterrorism.
OK. Yea, that makes me feel better. If there is no cause for alarm then why did the White House declare an emergency while Obama was golfing? We find our unlikely hero Obama out playing golf on Sunday while The European Union is issuing travel warnings and
inspecting all people traveling to their countries from Mexico and the US. If they are then why aren't we doing the same?
Of coarse today
Obama said the Swine flu outbreak "is not a cause for alarm." A global pandemic in the making - but it is not a cause for alarm? Neither was the bubonic plague Obama!
But the
UN Chief apparently has a different take on the problem. Maybe he was not out playing golf on Sunday with Obama?
To add insult to injury now a
strong earthquake has hit Mexico City sending office workers scrambling out of high rise buildings and into the street for safety. That should really help things down there - but as Obama said, "there is not a cause for alarm."
