Wow it's great how this thread has become political bullshit. People are dying of this and it could be a legit international concern, but no lets just blame each other...

I say we just ignore firstdown's Obama comment and just move on with the discussion.

So you don't believe politics play a role in these types of decisions when he received around 69% of the Latino vote?

I think maybe the World Health Organization might have a better sense than you or me what good is closing the border

Travel restrictions under consideration by the U.S. to prevent the spread of a new flu virus may be influenced by politics more than science, the World Health Organization’s chief said today.

WHO doesn’t recommend closing borders or restricting the movement of people or goods, Margaret Chan, director-general of the United Nations agency told leaders from health groups around the world in a conference call today. The disease, which may have caused more than 100 deaths and sickened more than 1,000 people, has spread too far and would be impossible to contain by closing borders, she said.

I say we let people make up their own minds about what comments they want to ignore or not ignore.

I'm going to ignore that

First off what they are talking about is nations completly closing all travel in and out. I'm just saying shut down the Mexican boarder where we know this came from and where people are dying.

Fine, so all the decisions made in response to this are because Obama doesn't want to rock the Latino vote. You're right, it's all about politics.

For you it seems it always turns to the evils of Obama and/or liberals

Can you just let it go for one minute? Couldn't you have simply asked "Why don't we close the border (note how there is no a in border) until the problem is solved, would that help?" instead of throwing the whole Latinos voting for Obama angle? That wouldn't have at all been possible would it?

Sorry I forgot Obama does no wrong and makes all of his decisions based off whats good for the country without ever thinking about which voters he might tick off.

I am an idiot for even engaging in this. Damn me!

Dude, read the f*cking quote. If cutting off ALL travel in and out wouldn't be of much help why would closing the borders in the fashion you suggest be any better? Cutting off travel in only certain ways would be even LESS effective. Jesus Christ.

What is the definition of an idealogue again?

Firstdown............I hear ya man, but its not going to do any good. The Flu is already over the border. Its hit as far as New York City. There is nothing that we can do to contain this. We just have to treat it as best as possible. Unfortunately, Thats all that we can do at this point.
