A little context...
This promise is based on what the president would do in response to a national catastrophe, and so we won't be weighing in on it unless or until such an event transpires.

If you are commenting on a specific promise, please include the promise number. For comments about our Truth-O-Meter or Flip-O-Meter items, please e-mail the Truth-O-Meter.
