U.S. Declares Public Health Emergency in Wake of Swine Flu

U.S. Declares Public Health Emergency in Wake of Swine Flu - First 100 Days of Presidency - Politics FOXNews.com

The Obama Administration is having to respond to this crisis without a Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) and only an acting director for the CDC.   Secretary Naplitano taking the lead on this matter is a bit ironic given her use of the term "man-made disasters" instead of terrorism.  The current crisis highlights the lack of nimbleness of the Obama Administration, some of which is of course due to newness.  It is the first test though of how the administration responds to a crisis that wasn't on the radar during the elections.
