FAUX News Backtracks On Swine Flu Epidemic
Glen Beck said it was a manufactured crisis. Beck said President Obama was exaggerating the threat to gain more government control.

6. Has Obama asked people to duct tape their windows?
I've seen some generic statements. But I haven't seen Obama say anything.
