Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

I'm watching this, just tuned in. All I am seeing so far is a Trump slurpfest. Pence makes me want to punch something.

I'm not a Trump fan either, and he irritates the crap out me the way he talks and his use of the word "tremendous". But look past that. He is approaching this the right way. The message is this will be tough, but calm down, the government is opening resources and partnering with industry to address this.

He is not hitting the panic button, which is what the press seems to be hell bent on.
 
I like the idea of purchasing oil for the Strategic Oil Reserves while the price is ridiculously low.

*eyeroll*

Selling our oil... to ourselves... at a low price. While there's a sh*t of oversupply on the market.

Mkay.

So the strategic reserves are intended for oil shortages. Times of war or other event that disrupts, minimizes or threatens oil supplies.

I agree with all except that I differ on why he is doing this. I do not for one second believe its because he has a clue what he's talking about. It is solely because he refuses to acknowledge, much less deal with, difficult news.
 
The sad part is that people are trying to blame Obama for something 11 years ago. There was no panic because he was a good leader. No one knows what is going on now because donald lies 99% of the time. People are left to their own devices. Trying to figure out how to stay safe, get tested, and take care of their family. Even if President Obama didn't declare a national emergency until 6 months later, he didn't cripple the initial response to the swine flu and dismiss it. And I am sure CNN, MSNBC, and other media outlets were not dismissing it as an evil plot by Republicans to get him impeached. People were literally getting tested for it because there were enough available test. Only 77 people this week have been tested for this latest virus. That is sad....

I'll give Obama a break on this and go back to Nixon. Nixon gets blamed for a lot of stuff that I don't have a problem with, but I do blame him for deciding to open doors to China and for being in charge when we decided it would make sense to float the dollar. Watergate was nothing compared to stuff that's gone on since. The MSM vs Nixon was only a precursor to how ugly the MSM war on conservatism has become.

"I don't take responsibility at all.... garble garble nonsense ..." (people behind him nodding)

Fauci again saying system not set up for this. He has said that before.

No detail.

Then Trump brags and compares to swine flu. A very big failure, but people respect what he's doing.

Ugh.

I'm a little behind on the press conference, but if this level of ass kissing by Pence doesn't keep him in as VP, he's gonna be one pissed off dude.
