I wouldn't have blamed Obama just like I didn't blame him for H1N1.<br /><br />On April 29th, 2009 the WHO raised H1N1 to a level 5 pandemic. On October 24th Obama finally declared a National Emergency. So JUST STOP blaming Trump for any of this if you don't blame Obama for anything H1N1.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501973193828340382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-71851333657334707852020-04-01T13:59:20.993-07:002020-04-01T13:59:20.993-07:00They have done a pretty good job for me.

Maybe also postpone it till later in the year but that is a tough call.
