Swine flu another example of need for parliamentary govt

The New York Times story explains it succinctly:

The outbreak in the United States comes before President Obama has his full health team in place. His nominee for health secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, has not yet been confirmed by the Senate, nor has the woman he selected to Food and Drug Administration, Margaret Hamburg, a former New York City health commissioner. Mr. Obama has not yet named anyone to run the Centers for Disease Control or the National Institutes of Health.

Why do people who should know better continue to defend the horribly antiquated Constitution of the United States?

And, given our two-party duopoly, while people may be quarantined, CAFO hog farms most certainly will not.

And, since a Smithfield CAFO-type farm in Vera Cruz, Mexico is the likely source for the swine flu outbreak, they obviously NEED to be quarantined.
