April 29 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama will tell
Americans tonight that the world faces a ?very serious
situation? after the World Health Organization said a swine flu
pandemic is imminent.
?Every American should know that their entire government
is taking the utmost precautions and preparations,? Obama will
say at the start of a news conference tonight, according to
excerpts released by the administration.
Obama also plans to say that his budget and economic
recovery plan will set the U.S. on a path to solid growth.
Obama?s first few months in office have been marked by
major challenges, with the swine flu outbreak and a crashing
economy at the forefront. Even so, polls show the new president
is more popular than predecessors at the same point in their
first terms, and Americans report feeling more optimistic.
?We are off to a good start,? Obama will say tonight,
according to the excerpts. ?But it is just a start.?
