The national shortage of N95 respirator masks can be traced back to 2009 after the H1N1 swine flu pandemic, when the Obama administration was advised to replenish a national stockpile but did not, according to reports from Bloomberg News and the Los Angeles Times. The Trump administration is scrambling to replenish a stockpile of protective medical gear for healthcare workers and patients, as the coronavirus sweeps across the nation. N95 respirator masks are one of the most needed medical supplies amid the outbreak. The George W. Bush administration published the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza plan in 2005,

Remember all the staff he surrounded himself with? I forget the young Obama staffer who called the Fox host 'Dude' during an interview. I can only assume he was the best spokeskid the White House had.

And Biden wants to tell us how Trump is not doing a good job? The senile clown should abandon his planned “shadow presidency” daily briefings and stay put

No wonder Obama has gone to ground. He knows he is responsible for yet another disaster, thanks to his greed, corruption and sloth.

Barry didn't realize that he needed a Czar for N95 masks.

It is impossible to quantify the amount of blood on Obama's hands. ISIS taking over Iraq and annihilating Christians. The Muslim Brotherhood's take over of Egypt. Benghazi and Libya. Obamacare destroying our healthcare system and now this.
God's judgment will be swift.

Most of these problems go right back to the Obama-Biden Administration. Since this pandemic commenced the leftist and liberal Democrats and their propaganda arm, the so-called mainstream (liberal) media have been attacking President Trump personally for a supposed lack of planning for the Chinese corona virus pandemic, a disease that was unknown until about the end of January, or about six weeks ago, because Trump has not manufactured, and distributed the 325 million specific medical diagnostic test kits so that everyone in the USA who wants to be tested for the virus could be immediately tested. Common sense will tell you that it is an impossibility for the Federal Government in less than two months to have done what the Democrats and the media have been fraudulently complaining about regarding the diagnostic testing. If it was possible to manufacture and distribute hundreds of millions of such diagnostic test kits for a yet unknown disease, why didn’t the Obama-Biden Administration do that?

The road to ruin was paved by Obama. President Trump is bringing in the heavy equipment to divert it to prosperity, building a bridge over the swamp!

I read the Bloomberg article this morning and saw that very important sentence and posted it in the comments. I've created a post on Facebook about this. This need to be spread far and wide.

The state are responsible for their won disaster preparedness, not the federal government. States have relied on FEMA to do all the work for disaster preparedness. FEMA is to subsidize the states when there is a disaster the states cannot cover, not the entire burden of disaster preparedness for the state. FEMA cannot know each states needs and each state is different. NYC and New York are much different than Phoenix, AZ. Each place should make their own disaster preparedness plans according to conditions in the individual state.,

Obama wasn't there to manage the country. He only wanted to put stupid unworkable lefty programs in place.

Now guys, let's not be too hasty condemning the community punk. A guy has only that many daylight hours to play golf, even though his game never really improved, you can't expect him to focus on some health masks. If there is a problem, he'll just call the lefty networks and tell them not ever to cover the subject. You know, the way the swine flu was played down by the same swine and that includes the Chicago commie, and most people never heard of it.
They should all be locked into a room and that includes the Kenyan born and the corona virus be sprayed inside.

King Putt couldn't be bothered to interrupt his golf outings and ESPN viewing long enough to take care of the nation's business. And Sleepy Joe has hitched his campaign wagon to the Won's worthless backside in order to convince the darkies that hes the Next Won.
