Probably because, in THEORY, we are a federated-system...........states should do their own prep for disasters.

Yes. His best lie was "If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance". And we are still suffering from it.

No worries, if Obama or family need a ventilator it will be there so why would he give a damn. Obama has always been good for himself but not others, after all Dems lost over 1000 Democratic seats while he was in office.

Obama and his daughter both smoke. I think the oldest daughter is dating a smoker too.

Not a fan of Obama, if his decision on the States being responsible for emergency responses and forming 5heor own stockpiles, then it was the right decision.

IMHO, Obama wasn’t a good leader, but without question, he’s a good man.
