The CDC finally at the end of April, got involved.

Obama FINALLY declared it an emergency outbreak at the end of October, well over 6 months after the first cases were reported.  

Can you show me your postings where you were critical??  I'll wait.

Actually, I don't need to wait because I know for a fact that you had not one criticism of Obama then.

How do I know?  

Because you've never criticized Obama once on this forum or in your personal life, ever.

Why?

Because you're a giant liberal hypocrite, that's why.  Plain and simple as that.

Well if they declared the emergency back in April as the factcheck CLAIMS, why can't they find it and why can't they show it??

Answer:  It was never declared publicly.  

Obama screwed up, waited, and then officially declared it an emergency on October 24th of 2019. 

Prove to me that he publicly declared it an emergency.  

Politifact certainly can't because their link saying it was declared an emergency on April 26th, links an official declaration that is dated by the WH on October 24th. 

Politifact as usual just makes things up to support their BS.

I've shown it numbers of times before and your link is the same BS.

Here is what comes up when the poltifact link is activated:

THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release                                                                              October 24, 2009



DECLARATION OF A NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO THE 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA PANDEMIC

- - - - - - -

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

So then, show me the official declaration dated April 26th, 2009.  

It doesn't exist and politifact lies, as usual.

I think you should buy it - I've already got one 180mm APO   You are right about the resale value though.  A-P isn't making any more of these...  Rod should chime in and remind us how much more we could see in a big Zambuto mirror for the same price, and I am sure he is right.  But still...  I really like my big refractor...

He did not talk about the lack of testing and why there is still  no large-scale availability of tests.

Throwing the hope of tax relief will not do a thing to curtail the virus. The only positive thing to me was saying he wanted to mandate sick pay for people and that medical care would be free to those that contract the virus. That sounds more like one of his empty promises than an implementable policy, but we'll see. The ban on Europe is BS as he exempted the UK, which has its own outbreak in progress and is no better off than any other country except Italy.

Other than that, it was perfect.
