to "W" then. Not a snowflakes chance in hell Obama could have gotten any major plan to increase preparedness through the senate.

Trump only tore stuff down that could have helped. He can't show that he or his people even considering improving the system. Oh.

Unless of course they were sitting around doing nothing, which you claimed was the reason for getting rid of them.
