Have the president& #39;s promises matched reality? @timkmak reports an NPR team checked promises the president made March 13, when declaring a state of emergency. With lives in the balance, many promises were not kept. Details follow. @NPR
On March 13, says @timkmak, the president promised "drive-through tests" at stores. "Walmart has opened two testing sites. Walgreens has opened two in Chicago; CVS has opened four sites. Target has not opened any." Eight sites. Companies say they await government leadership. @NPR
More from @timkmak: "The president and his team promised Google was working on a website that would integrate screening, facilitate a nearby drive-through testing location, and then send you back your results -- all in one.... That never happened."
In promising the website that never materialized, the president took an apparent shot at an Obamacare website that was delayed years ago: "It’s going to be very quickly done, unlike websites of the past." With lives and the economy at stake, the site isn& #39;t done. @UpFirst @NPR
Other presidential promises required collaboration with states - for example, loosening requirements for licensing doctors. The president hasn& #39;t secured that cooperation. He said he would buy oil to prop up the market, but didn& #39;t get the money from Congress. @NPR @MorningEdition
