Obama Rolls Up His Sleeve For H1N1 Flu Shot
I guess not enough of you believed that lie about the H1N1 being a “crisis”, so the president of the United States Barack Obama rolled up his sleeves yesterday to show you that he is willing to take the shot himself.
The White House confirmed yesterday that both Barack and the First lady Michelle Obama have each received the shot. But what took them so long?
It’s been a whole two months since Obama declared a fake national emergency in an attempt to spark a panic among US citizens (and inflate an artificial demand for the injections thereby padding the pockets of his fat cat pharmaceutical friends).
Luckily, people aren’t as dumb as he thinks we are, and his fake crisis warnings fell on deaf ears.
Obama said, “People need to understand that this vaccine is safe [blah blah blah],”. Can anyone believe anything that comes out of this man’s mouth?
I personally still don’t know of anyone who’s caught the swine flu. Do you? So much for this being a crisis of national proportions.

*SINGING* GOD BE WITH YOU, GOD BE WITH YOU, GOD BE WITH YOU UNTIL WE MEET AHGAAANNNN!
@ BrownSugaPoet -
U had me dyin yesterday with the “if you suck his soul through his penis” comment!!!!! Specially when you hit the “Im full of knowledge” statement!! I died!!!
I know quite a few people that caught the swine flu. It was blown out of proportion since it’s really no worse than any other strains of the flu. Maybe he and Michelle waited to see if it really was safe. The President should be extra cautious about taking new medications…
AINT NO WAY I AM TAKING THAT SHOT!!!
Where is everybody
His flu shot doesn’t have squaline and mercury in it. He can take a shot for the public but he still won’t show his birth certificate (I’m skeptical)? smh

Either working because it’s a short week or took this week and next week off.
No disrespect, but he’s a damn fool…
@ FloridaChick813
Girl I set myself up. When I said I was full of knowledge I was actually being serious and wasn’t even tryin to be dirty but it was a no win situation! One of the FEWS times I wasn’t tryin to be dirty and it still came out like that! Glad I could entertain you now that will be 50 dollars please and thank you!
I guess i can’t help the fact I’m such a dirty filthy girl! it’s my cross to bear!!
H1N1…. Ummmm no thanks!
Really I have my doubts he really got the shot, I believe it’s a syringe full of water.
Barack quit playin boy! You know that’s a B12 shot!!!
Early Happy Holidays to everyone
Personally, I know of two people, including a friend’s niece, who got the swine flu.
I didn’t take the shot personally, because flu vaccines always make me sick. I’m running some risk, but I haven’t had the flu in over 15 years, so I’m not too worried.
He’s a little late for this publicity stunt. I will not be taking any unecessary shots. Who knows what you are really being injected with. I am a conspiracy theorist. Go to youtube and google H1N1 conspiracies. All you have to do is know your history to avoid propaganda like this.

Exactly! Either unadjuvanted or not the real shot at all.
Don’t let them fool you in the February either when they try and kick up and say it’s mutated and worse than ever.
i know a few folks too who have caught it…one a little boy with a few complications cause he was asthmatic.
i did not take the shot as my childhood allergy to eggs has resurfaced about 4 years ago. so i will take my chances and my vitamins as i have in the previous few years and keep it murvin.

I agree, the public should be the guinea pigs for Lord Obama.
Do you even know how bad that sounds? Why in the hell would he be cautious himself and yet use his influence to persuade millions to go out and roll up their sleeves under the impression it was completely safe?
C’mon Son!
Yes I know a grown man who almost died from the swine flu he was in the hospital n ICU for over a mth his ex wife just knew he was going to die
I will NOT be taking the shot I don’t even get the reg. Flu shot

Ditto. Where is the press conference of his daughters and Michelle getting theirs?
I know several people from my church that got swine flu. One of the parishioners’ daughter went to a HS that had a flu cluster in the beginning of the epidemic. She got it at school and then several other church members got it at a church event. One elderly lady almost died.
Because they are not in a high risk group like children, elderly or folks with chronic disease, Barack and Michelle did not need to get the shot right away.
@ Daisy
Did he have any pre-existing medical conditions?
The regular seasonal flu kills thousands every year.
@ AllNYC
I’m not minimizing the seriousness of H1N1. For the elderly and for people with pre-existing medical conditions(like myself, I have asthma) it can be deadly. The shot was useless though. Dangerous in fact.
I would rather take my chances with the immune system god gave me than to play russian roulette with the shot and possibly end up dead or with a neurological disease from the adjuvants.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That was my first thought as well. I am not getting it, will not let my children get it…hell I don’t even get the regular flu shot and I haven’t had the flu in 8 years.

Wait…come again? Because I missed the part in my post that said anything about the general public. The PUBLIC wanted a vaccine, scientist produced one. More people have been protected by taking the shot than the few who got sick from it. The regular flu shot makes people sick and can be deadly. No one held a gun to anyone’s head to force them to take the shot so miss me with the whole “Obama used his influence” PLEASE!
@ CivilEngineer
The public didn’t want a vaccine, they were whipped into a frenzy and brainwashed by the media and Obama played his part in that. I’m not trying to put words in your mouth but he DID use his influence to help push this on the public.
The vaccine did not protect more people than it hurt either. Where is the proof? For those who took the shot and didn’t get sick at all, they most likely wouldn’t have gotten sick anyway.
@Sanfi no he was in perfect health until he caught the Swine flu. No medical conditions never been hospitalized thats why his ex wife thought he was about to leave this here earth she had never seen him that sick.
@ Daisy
Well I’m happy that he made it. God must have been on his side.
My point is just that the media turned this into something bigger than it was. Sure it was serious but so is the seasonal flu for the thousands it kills every year. This really was just a pay day for big pharma.
You can blame the media for a lot of things but people have to used their own common sense when it comes to their well being. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention but I don’t remember Obama telling us to go get the shot. I remember something about him waiting before letting his own daughters take the shot so why would he advise others to do it.
Whenever there’s a health scare people go looking for a cure, same can be sad with the bird flu. Vaccines introduce viruses to your body it’s not rocket science. I haven’t nor plan on getting a shot; I guess some are easily influenced.
CivilEngineer
Our common sense is what media has brain washed us to believe! The media has been brainwashing us since we were children. If you sat down and watched TV as a child you just programmed your common sense. So if the MEDIA says we should get swine flu the masses will use their “common sense” and listen to what the media says…..
@ CivilEngineer
Obama- “I think people just need to understand if I had the two people that are most important in my life, my two daughters, get it right away … then you need to make sure your children get it as well,”
My question is did his daughters receive the heavily adjuvanted shot like the rest of the mass public or the unadjuvanted version like European governments and military? Of course we’ll never know.
Obama endorsed it at the first of the whole fiasco and even declared a national emergency which was completely unnecessary. The public actually are very smart because the majority of us didn’t take it, even with the huge media blitz.
Most importantly, Obama never warned anyone at all of the possible dangerous side effects that could result from the shot.
@ brucebaner1
Very well put.
SanfiPolemikos - you too.
THE H1N1 FLU VACCINE HAS NO MORE SIDE EFFECTS THAN THE OTHER COUNTLESS VACCINES WE HAVE TAKEN OVER OUR LIFETIMES.
THE MEDIA IS VERY SUCCESSFUL AT SCARING THE LIVING SH!T OUT OF PEOPLE AND MAKING FOLKS EITHER TOO SCARED TO PROTECT THEMSELVES, OR TOO SCARED OF THE PROTECTION.
WHATEVER. TAKE IT OR NOT, IF YOU GET THE SWINE FLU, STAY YOUR A$$ HOME.
And I got the shot and was fine with it. Getting the regular flu vaccine as well. And I’ve always been healthy as a horse.
To each his own……
It never even crossed my mind to get this shot, and the last person in the world that could persuade me is O.B.A.M.A
” One Big Ass Mistake America?”

True but thats a whole other issue you raise! Since 1991 when vaccines in the school system have doubled, so too have cases of Autism and other neurological diseases in children.
Vaccines have been very helpful in reduces many common illnesses like the mumps and the measles etc. but it has gotten completely out of control over the past 20 years and it is just another instance of our government selling us out to big corporations for profits.
@ CJ
Oh yeah, it was mandatory for you wasn’t it? You didn’t even really get a say in it.
@ BOOMER1:
GTFOH WIT THAT BULLSH!T.
Turn the Faux News and Republican propaganda OFF.
You sound stupid.
@ Sanfi:
Nothing is EVER Mandatory, my friend. I CHOSE to get it. But the cynical will believe what they want. As if there’s this big conspiracy in everything. Hell, LIFE in it’s grand design is one big ole conspiracy, so lets just all get drunk and burn ourselves at the stake to rid ourselves of our misery.. (<—insert sarcasm)
Those on the outside of government are controlled more by the special interests than they are even aware of. Those of us in government and national security find it almost scary that the same folks you rail against are the first ones you have your hand out to when you lose your job, or get sick or need an education, or need a house, etc.
No the system is not perfect. Name a system that is. Until then, LIVE folks. Life is too short for the cynicism all the time.
@ CJ
I thought it was mandatory but maybe that’s just more media propaganda to try and scare the public with.
I agree life is short and we gotta enjoy ourselves but there’s a lot of people hurting across the country right now that can’t do that. I personally can’t get them off my mind for too long. Maybe that’s a weakness.
He knows damn well that’s a B12 shot! (Which probably hurt since they’re usually done in the butt).
Sandra, why stay in a country where you don’t like the President,,,,LEAVE!!!
LBCali - thats the great thing about our country, she doesn’t have to!!!
@ LBCali:
CO-SIGN TIMES 10!! WHY IS THIS BRITISH NATIONAL SO ADAMANT ABOUT BASHING THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT IN THE COUNTRY THAT HE GOVERNS?!! LEAVE ALREADY, CHICA!!
ANYWAY…
@ Sanfi:
I feel you bruh. However, there will ALWAYS be people suffering in this country and this world. We can do our part to help by donating to charities, involving ourselves in political and social activism, etc. The only true way to make an impact on the system is to do it from the inside.
Of course, those folks on the NYC Subway, dressed in rags, shouting fire and brimstone everyday do make an impact…. Not sure if it’s the impact they would like to make though….

***************************************************
Because this is a free country where I have the right to express my opinions? < — A country that Obama would like to see go to the dogs, by the way.
@ Sandra:
We get how you feel. But that’s OUR problem. You don’t have to deal with it. BUSH handed our country right to the dogs and the terrorists.
You need to stop the madness. You’re no better than the slimy politicians on Capitol Hill (who all work for the same people by the way–the big companies who make their pockets FAT) by trying to point out blatant inaccuracies, and hyping up petty and manufactured differences in ideology between legislators and politicians.
Your opinion is fine. You’re entitled to it. But those of us who love our country and this new President that some of us worked very hard to see become president do not take kindly to you thinking he is some MESSIAH who is supposed to change a CAPITALIST society after only 12 months in office.
Some of us were REALISTS when we elected him. Apparently, you were one of the people (non-citizen) who was drinking the “Kool-Aid” assuming that he would come in and work miracles.
The best he can do is push a Centrist-Liberal agenda and bring us back to a level playing field–one that was squandered by misdirected focus of the Bush administration.
You expect so much more of him than you did the previous President. I wonder why???
And by the way, since we’re pointing out folks’ not doing their jobs right:
One of your jobs is as a blogger. It doesn’t necessarily uplift the blogging community or black women as a whole to have public, malicious spats on the internet. It makes you look weak, catty and vindictive. Not to mention threatened by someone whose blog may be doing better.
Not to mention, MOST of your posts regarding hearsay or gossip are inaccurate. You’re obviously not a journalist, so why hold you to a journalistic standard?
Point the finger and there are always three more pointing back at you Ms. Rose.
Hey, Sandra
Just for the record, I have had an aunt and a cousin who both had swine flu. My aunt is in her mid fourties and my cousin is in his twenties. They both were deathly sick and had very high temperatures during their sickness as well for about a week.
@ Sandra
Don’t you find it so sad having black people tell you to shut up and leave the country if you don’t like it? It just sounds so terrible. We really should be better than that knowing our history in this country. Sort of reminds me how Israel treats the Palestinians. Its an oxymoron.
That said, I don’t agree that the republicans will do anything different than Obama. They are raising a lot of real issues right now but it’s only to position themselves for the next elections. Unless it’s Ron Paul, a republican president will only continue the phony war on terror and the bankrupting of this nation. That’s if were not completely bankrupt before 2012 that is!
@ CJ
Again I have to disagree about only being able to make change from the inside. Do you know how powerful this tool is that we are using right now? How many people 10 years ago knew the Federal Reserve was a private bank no more federal than Federal Express? People are waking up exponentially thanks to the internet.
@ Sanfi:
Believe what you want. FedEx has lobbyists all over the city here in Washington, as does every other global company. Even those who lead marches (Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson) have serious political ties that the common folk may be unaware of. Don’t buy into the facade that “common folk” alone make change happen. That is not reality.
And yes, Sandra should LEAVE if she doesn’t like this country. My ass is not in BRITAIN bashing her beloved white lady Queen or her cad of a son Prince C.
@ CJ
I don’t think you got the point I was trying to make. I was saying that FedEx is a private company. You know that they are private and not federal right?
The Federal Reserve is also a private bank. The Federal Reserve that prints our money and loans it to us at interest is a private bank in private hands. You know that right?
I’ll email you this same question just in case you don’t check back in this topic.
Peace
