Compare how the Bush administration would be handling the Swine Flu outbreak compared to the Obama admin?

I think the current system of stockpiling anti-viral medication was put in place under the Bush regime. I didn't approve of Bush as a president, but this is one thing he did that was good for the nation.

I think he would be handling it better than Katrina as Katrina was in Louisiana (no votes there) but Swine flu has been in New York, Texas, California and Illinois (lots of votes) you got to think like a politician ;)

first: Obama is doing nothing that I can see at this moment, except flying Air force one over NY and causing panic. Second: Everyone wants to Blame Bush for Katrina. However, I was there and saw first hand how both the Mayor and the Governor refused assistance prior to the hurricane. I saw a line of trucks from red cross full of food and water ready to go into New Orleans but the mayor and the Governor held them up at the edge of the city. I'm not going to set here and defend Bush, but lets not blame him for things he did not do.

Both administrations would do essentiall the same thing.

The only difference is that the media would use the same actions a evidence of incompetence for Bush and a triumph for Obama.

I was one of the people who responded to Hurricane Katrina. If you think that Bush failed in any way - you need to learn more about the situation and exactly what was possible.

Well, it's a tricky comparison to make because the swine flu is real, and the bird flu was never actually transmitted from one human to another.

However, Bush's reaction to the bird flu "threat", was to direct federal and state agencies to purchase over 8 billion dollars worth of Tamiflu from his friend Donald Rumsfeld's company - Gilead Sciences. Unfortunately for America, H5N1 (the virus responsible for bird flu) was already resistant to Tamiflu, according to WebMD. His reaction to a disease that didn't exist was to sell America billions of dollars worth of snake oil- it's hard to guage what he would do in the face of a genuine biological threat.

By this time Obama should have planned a troop of infected peoples to Afgan and Pakistan.

A repeat of Katrina and the way they handled the bird flu outbreak. (Laugh) And Some people STILL think he was a good president. LMFAO

The systems are largely in place... I don't think all that much would be different. See: Avian Flu

Not much different, unfortunately. I wish somebody would close the border now!

The Bush administration would have invaded Italy, or some other country that had nothing to do with it by now.
