He’s still a lot better than the Grampa Simpson/Ellie Mae Clampett team the GOP put up against him. If you want to keep telling people he reminds you of Carter, I see no reason why I can’t keep telling people that the best the GOP could put up against him was Grampa Simpson.

The point of what Mr. HISTalk was saying is that Obama is a lot like Carter. Is he worse or better than any of the Bush's you loathe? Depends on what political side you choose to align yourself with, but doesn't change the fact that he reminds everyone of Carter. You are just choosing to take that as a negative... I think we all hope that he can be a strong leader like Reagan since we really haven't had one since, but right now he is just a really good speaker. Still have a few more years...

How many H1N1 folks are even going to end up at the hospital? How many false positives do we have in there? I applaud the concept and effort from Cerner, but it seems like all smoke, no fire. How is this really better than CDC's results? “2) Cerner’s H1N1 early surveilance will be looking at all ED admissions with fever above a certain level etc etc”
