As a few of you may have heard by now, Obama issued the order calling the H1N1 ‘epidemic’ a ‘National Emergency’.

As a person who is extremely wary of anything ordered by Obama and his cronies, let’s look at the worse case scenario that this would entail.

First, it allows states to ask for money from the Feds to combat the illness. Not bad, until you discover this is money over and above what’s already been put into places such as spending bills and the stimulus package. 

It allows the restriction of large gatherings of people. Of course, that’s intentionally vague and can be used to prevent certain gatherings and allow others…say, like, prohibiting protests against Obamacare and Cap & Trade, but allowing SEIU and ACORN protests.

It allows quarantines of areas of outbreak. You know, like more conservative suburbs, or large businesses, like those owned by the US Chamber of Commerce members.

Do I actually think Obama and Sebillius would actually do such things? Unfortunately, you just can’t put this sort of thing past them.

I wish I wasn’t turning more and more paranoid about this president. I really do not want to think he is that petty, but then we see what he’s tried to do to Fox News and you realize he isn’t above being petty.
