		<description><![CDATA[President Obama today declared the swine flu epidemic in this country a national emergency. Forty-six of the 50 states now have widespread flu contagion. &#8220;It&#8217;s important to note that this is a proactive measure &#8212; not a response to a new development,&#8221; an administration official said. &#8220;H1N1 is moving rapidly, as expected.
