Wrong. Obama incompetently bumbled for six months while H1N1 infected millions. And people SHOULDN'T trust a treasonous Constitution-shredding tyrant like Obama with emergency powers.
This is not bumbling, dudette.
"Trump has repeatedly compared his response to the new coronavirus with President Barack Obama’s handling of the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. But Trump’s information is frequently incorrect or misleading — and the two viruses are very different."
1. On April 15, 2009, the first infection was identified in California, according to the CDC, and less than two weeks later, on April 26, 2009, the Obama administration declared a public health emergency. The day before, on April 25, the World Health Organization had declared a public health emergency.
2. The same day — April 26 — the CDC began releasing antiviral drugs to treat the H1N1 flu, and two days later, the FDA approved a new CDC test for the disease, according to a CDC timeline on the pandemic.
3. On April 30, 2009, two days after the public health emergency declaration, Obama formally asked Congress for $1.5 billion to fight the outbreak, and later asked for nearly $9 billion, according a September 2009 Congressional Research Service report. On June 26, 2009, Obama signed Congress’ supplemental appropriation bill that included $7.7 billion for the outbreak.
4. The U.S. public health emergency was renewed twice — on July 24, 2009, and Oct. 1, 2009. The WHO declared H1N1 a pandemic on June 11, 2009. Obama declared a national emergency related to the pandemic on Oct. 24, 2009. Between April and October, about 11.3 million doses of H1N1 vaccine had been distributed... [/quote]
By the way, what you're falsely accusing conservatives of here...is what Democrats actually did, crucifying Trump for overreacting to a harmless virus and then doing a total 180 and pretending he didn't react soon enough.
Curb your delusions, dudette. Dems criticized trump for spreading lies and misinformation, and underreacting to a not-so-harmless virus, as the record shows.

1) Don't defend Obama's disastrous incompetence (millions infected, more than a thousand dead before he even declared a national emergency) and then completely reverse your standards for Trump and people won't have to point out your dishonest hypocrisy.
As the record shows Obama did much more than trump right from the beginning. Let us know specifically what changed after Obama declared the national emergency.
2) A straw man fallacy isn't about diversion, it's about misrepresenting your opponent's argument so much that it becomes effortless to knock down, like a straw man. Your ignorant butchery of basic debate concepts is straight-up embarrassing.
You ARE misrepresenting my arguments. I said that Obama did plenty when H1N1 was epidemic, and you said he didn't do enough. You're ignoring everything I wrote above in 3 & 4, and appear to be claiming that the only thing that counts is saying the words "national emergency." Obama's actions spoke louder than trump's words whether you like it or not.
ONE CNN anchor speaks for all Democrats?

Says the guy ignorantly misusing "straw man," getting proven wrong by DEMOCRATS admitting Trump is right, and STILL failing to comprehend what was initially being argued to start this entire debate.
