The White House announced that President Barack Obama’s bodyguard, who assisted him in Mexico, shows symptoms similar to the “swine flu” - virus H1N1.At a White House press conference, spokesman Robert Gibbs said that no members of the bodyguard’s immediate family showed flu-like symptoms, especially those resembling virus H1N1.
Gibbs explained that the bodyguard, whose name was not officially given, did not fly to Mexico on "Air Force One.”
Consequently, all the members of Obama’s delegation are being checked for swine flu.
Presently, 109 people have been diagnosed with the flu in the United States. On Wednesday, April 29, 2009, health officials in Houston confirmed the death of the first victim of the flu: a two-year old Mexican boy.
Now I know why Obama asked for 1.5 billion dollars for an antidote. He wants to help his bodyguard…I shouldn’t joke about it… Sorry…
I really admire Obama’s decision to help other countries fight this disease and I believe his bodyguard will survive. Do you see this as a political move on Obama’s part? How so? What do you think? Some of the people want to close U.S.-Mexico border...
