(23,957 posts)however, with the primary voting getting started, this is going to be way too tempting for the candidates to start the Obama blaming. each candidate, like the special snowflakes they are, will have a slightly different angle, but they will universally concur that it is at least mostly Obama's fault.
I predict the "Obama caused/failed to prevent/allowed unclean immigrants in with/brought the wrath of God down upon America by way of the Zika virus" fun to begin Tuesday, so NH voters have a day or two to decide which candidate will be appropriately tough on viruses.

Probably Iran, even though the virus didn't come from there, they would be convinced it was a weaponized virus from an Iranian laboratory.
