So the guy who waited 6 months to even declare a national emergency for H1N1 after it had already infected millions of Americans and killed more than a thousand...is smearing the president who IMMEDIATELY banned travel from China (which Democrats opposed and smeared him as racist for while demanding that he focus on the flu instead), expanded screenings, forced quarantines, established a coronavirus incident management system, and started work on a vaccine...as not reacting quickly enough?
"Even after the H1N1 pandemic that claimed as many as 18,000 American lives according to CDC estimates, Obama's response to the Ebola pandemic later is his presidency was similarly wrought with problems--so much so that even the Obama White House and the CDC acknowledged there were multiple “shortcomings” in the administration’s response. Those shortcomings may have been the result of Obama axing the White House pandemic response office in 2009, which was reinstated in 2016 specifically because of his administration's poor response to the Ebola pandemic."
Barack Obama Falsely Accuses Trump of 'Ignoring Warnings of a Pandemic'

The only problem is he didn’t ignore it

He thought about it while he golfed?
Some people in his corrupt, scandal-ridden administration didn't ignore it. That's not the same thing, imbecile.
He didn't sign a declaration of National Emergency until 136 days had elapsed after the CDC and WHO declared the H1N1 pandemic.
President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he was thinking of invoking the Stafford Act to declare a national emergency.
"We have very strong emergency powers under the Stafford Act," the president said. "And if I need to do something, I'll do it.
Days since pandemic was declared: 3
On June 11, 2009, the WHO and the U.S. CDC both declared the H1N1 outbreak a pandemic
Obama did not declare a national emergency for H1N1 until Oct. 24, 2009.
Days since pandemic was declared: 136
Why didn't you Trumptards use this Obama talking point before Trump screwed up a global pandemic killing hundreds of thousands of Americans?
Was it because you are making it up? Thought so.

Your own source admits the claim is correct, while pretending to debunk it (see why no one trusts these partisan Democrat 'fact-checkers?').
It admits that Obama waited until six months after the disease came out to declare a national emergency. It splits hairs over when the disease was called a pandemic and when the "public health emergency" was declared, but none of that relates to the claim being made. Follow along with me here...I can break out the crayons if necessary...if Trump is being accused of ignoring coronavirus (as he should've done) for declaring a national emergency much earlier than Obama, expanding screenings much earlier than Obama, forcing quarantines much earlier than Obama, banning travel from the place the disease came from unlike Obama, and the other myriad of things listed out on here repeatedly that he did much faster than or unlike Obama...then Obama, by the left's own logic, ignored H1N1.
Comprehend it yet?
Attachment 14780
Presumably your OTHER partisan Democrat "fact-checker" is resorting to the same dishonest Obama apologist spin as your first one.

Can't answer questions about things that didn't happen.
What an ironic question coming from the people who just weeks ago were downplaying coronavirus, telling people to live their lives normally, and who attacked Trump as overreacting when this all began, demanding that he focus on the flu instead.
Do you EVER stop lying?

The left has no "logic". They are perennially opportunistic and selectively outraged.
No, because she's an imbecile.

It's undeniable.
