Obama failed to hand over an operative government across the board, and that certainly includes any materials associated with meeting the challenges of a pandemic with any degree of readiness. I'm sure in your universe something like adequate emergency supplies could never avoid one's attention, even if he was facing down every democrat in the federal government. All of whom sworn to actively participate in "the resistance."

Even if he didn't think to drive Limousine One around to every warehouse and do an inventory, I will concede to that BTW, why would he have to? Should not have any President, especially one handing over the mantle of power, with one ounce of concern for the well being of the American people seen to that matter out of due diligence?

Thus like the preceding administration in it's entirety, the existing tests were defective and therefore useless. One might as well have swabbed their throat with a litmus strip. Previous administration, total fiasco. This administration had to start from scratch because the former left everything-- that would be allowing Putin to invade Crimea and who then sent troops, military aircraft and ships (including submarines) to Venezuela; that would include allowing China to seize control of the entire South China Sea; that would include allowing Iran and N Korea to proliferate well down the path of nuclear capability, that would allow ISIS to form a Caliphate; citing questionable funding concerns, that would also include shutting down the White House for the Easter Egg roll, and shutting down national monuments; that would include tbe US military's readiness to successfully meet a major enemy BTW; that would include allowing absolutely anybody who wanted to cruise across an undefended southern border to have their way; that would include not confirming his cabinet posts, or any other post for that matter; and that would include undermining his campaign and his administration; that would include endlessly myriad investigations; and that would include leaving the darn emergency medical warehouses bare.

Obama passed the baton as deceitfully as he governed. One minute you're trying to say conservatives such as myself are a bunch of alarmists and this democracy, (I say Republic) will stand despite all. Then when the inevitable looms you try to revise, in your real time fashion, the facts involved. Everything you posted is a lie. But MR Trump has nonetheless been gracious in his characterization of the problem. All he has said is, even if we did have the tests, and we didn't, without PPE we were still had. And I would just point out that you don't know what the official inventories actually showed. But no one has ever seen anything like this. and even then this virus in all likelihood was not naturally occurring. It could have been, but things look extremely dicey with regard to that. We're shut in here, self isolating. And we've had quite a scare in our family that thankfully this time around, was proven benign. So you'll forgive me if I've been a little too direct.

I hope you and your family are well.
This is starting to hit all around us here in KY, and I believe we may be a ways out from our peak.

Just as you look back and find frustration with Obama. I have that same frustration playing in real life. I would love to see him act more decisively and use some federal power and resources.
