Obama: Let the Mexican flu pour in to the U.S.!

[AAR]

Many people have said long before now that we should close the border
with Mexico to halt the flow of new Mexican flu cases coming into the
United States -- while we battle to control and stop the cases that
are already here.

When asked about closing the border to reduce the number of cases
coming into the United States, Obama said that "would be akin to
closing the barn door after the horses are out, because we already
have cases here in the United States."

No, Obama! That would be more like closing the flood gates to stop
more water from pouring in and flooding our homes and cities.

We aren't worried about the horses escaping the barn, we are worried
about stopping the flow of new flu cases crossing our borders while we
try to contain, treat, and reduce or stop the spread of new cases to
more American citizens and our schools!

Schools and public events in Mexico have already been closed to reduce
the spread of the flu. ABC news reported that the Mexican government
has now taken even more drastic action, ordering all nonessential
businesses to close.

Schools across America are already shutting down to reduce and
minimize contact with those who have the flu, in an effort to contain
and eventually stop the spread of this killer flu to even more
Americans.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who has been criticized for his low
profile during the crisis, addressed the nation Wednesday night and
told Mexicans to stay home. "There is no safer place to protect
yourself against catching swine flu than in your house," he said.

If you're trying to protect the lives of your family by avoiding
contact with those who have the flu, would you then open the door of
your home and welcome inside those already infected with the virus to
increase the chances one of them could infect you and your family?
No!

No responsible and sane person would do that!

So why does Obama want to keep the doors open to our home -- the
Untied States -- and allow more infected people to spread the disease
while our doctors, hospitals, and medical facilities we are working to
treat, contain, and stop the spread of this deadly flu virus?

Speaking out of both sides of his mouth, Obama also said: "Our public
health officials have recommended that schools with confirmed or
suspected cases of this flu strongly consider temporarily closing."

Vice-President Biden is telling Americans to avoid contact with those
who might be carrying the disease; although, it is true that Biden is
older and more experienced than Obama!

Which is it Obama? Close our schools to reduce the spread of the
virus, or keep the flood gates open and allow more infected cases to
pour across our borders? ! ! !

Perhaps Obama is right -- this time. Perhaps Obama has waited too
long, and it's now too late to reduce the spread of the Mexican flu to
more Americans by closing our borders. The Obama administration should
have taken that and other more aggressive actions sooner -- before the
flu had spread.

Rather than out playing golf, Obama should have been more personally
involved and proactive in managing this crisis during its earlier
stages!

We all know, talk is cheap, and... Obama is certainly a good talker!
