Quote:I'm not sure a Dem (or alternate GOP) president would have reacted much faster. - Magnus
Maybe, but this particular President has a history of doubting scientists and not trusting subject matter experts. I'd like to think 42, 43, or 44 had less of this type of hubris, would have been more heedful of the many warnings, and quicker to trust the science once the risk was known. I could be wrong here.
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
