WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and other administration officials will address a special White House briefing on the swine flu outbreak on Sunday, the White House said in a statement.

The White House said Napolitano would be joined at the 12:30 p.m. EDT briefing by Dr. Richard Besser, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and John Brennan, assistant to the president for Homeland Security.

The officials will give an update on the flu outbreak in the United States and the government's response, the statement said.

1. Given the speed with which information is transmitted via Internet, what value are WH briefings? nt

3. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will release a statement

"It is not a terrorist biological attack". in the first five minutes if not the first five sentences of camera's going live.

LOL

8. Not everyone uses the Internet to get their news

And those who do aren't necessarily that good at it. Most of that information transmitted via the Internet is going to be lie-laced email forwards or the major networks' coverage.

11. Understand and of course WH announcements are always true.

:sarcasm:

12. Feel free to point out where I said that (nt)

Have a nice day, :hi:

14. I love fabricated claims from illogical DUers (nt)

17. If I didn't believe that electing Obama would make a difference,

I wouldn't have worked so hard to make it happen.

“A Republic, if you can keep it.”

18. Makes sense, “A Republic, if you can keep it” and the "you" is We the People. n/t

6. It's good to see a quick response from the White House.

No more Katrinas on Obama's watch.

I just hope this doesn't become another M$M fueled distraction to get everyone off focus from the real dangers to this Country.

7. The swine flu will continue until you stop all this silly torture talk

10. I wonder how many of the dead

had recently been deported back to Mexico.

[nichomachus]

15. A little reported fact in the MSM

In the last year, over one million undocumented Mexicans went back to Mexico of their own volition.

Despite all the screaming from the corporate media and the national hysteria, even on "progressive" boards, about the hordes of "illegals" at the gate, the flow has actually been in the other direction -- and in huge numbers.

The only way your would know this, however, is by reading the foreign media. It doesn't fit within the narrative necessary to create a scapegoat class in the US. They want Americans blaming Mexicans and other supposed "illegals" for their economic woes, instead of the corporations themselves.

16. So they took the US's money and went home?

That makes it better :sarcasm:.

Or course American's are free to go to Mexico and buy property and live there....right? :eyes:

[nichomachus]

20. Really? They stole the US's money? Wow. I thought they earned it.

[WriteDown]

21. Who said anything about stealing?

That was you.
