Why hasn't Obama's daughters gotten their Swine Flu shots?

Maybe it's not a big deal. Maybe it is picking on the president. But maybe it's something else entirely -- a big statement through non-action. It depends on how you look at it, I suppose. We, the regular Joe Schmo public, have been told that this shot is a must. And I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong, that parents can actually get in trouble for not having their children vaccinated with regular flu shots. It doesn't raise a question in your mind about if it's right or not for your children based on the POTUS not having his children vaccinated? That's all good and well. To each their own. But it makes me wonder why this vaccine is being pushed as the miracle prevention for the inevitable swine flu outbreak, but the first kids won't be "protected" by it's all-preventing power. It's sorta laughable if it's true. I don't really care what he does with his kids. They're his kids. I only know what I'm reading now. But it makes me question the vaccine's effectiveness and the flu's severity. I look at it this way: if a meteor or terrorist attack or a plague was coming, the Presiden't kids would be the first kids en route to a safe place. So if they don't need the vaccine, I wonder why I see pundits and politicians and doctors and the like from sea to shining sea telling me that my kids and my neighbors and I need it.

I don't know if this might vary by state or individual school district but I know it's not mandatory in my grandkids' school to have either flu shot and it never has been. Also, as with the regular flu shots there are some in the health profession who will say it's absolutely recommended to get it and others who say not to. My daughter is really confused because with her Crohns her immune system is very weak and it would be dangerous for her to get the swine flu but she's afraid she'll get it from the vaccination. Her doctor has said the benefits outweigh the risk so I guess she's going to get it. Annie

I'm not picking on the president, and you're right, it is his choice. I just thought it was kind of odd when I first heard about it. We've been hearing about how deadly this flu is, for months now. It's just a head scratching moment for me, I guess.
