Jeff Bezos calls out Joe Biden's latest inflation claim: 'Straight misdirection or a deep misunderstanding'
Fox Business ^ | 3 July 2022 | Lawrence Richard

Previously, Bezos has criticized the Biden administration over its inflation claims

After President Joe Biden called on companies running gas stations to lower the price of gas, Jeff Bezos accused the U.S. president of misleading the public or said he lacked a "basic" understanding of the forces that actually drive prices.

"Ouch. Inflation is far too important a problem for the White House to keep making statements like this," Bezos said in a tweet Saturday evening.

In the initial tweet, Biden made a direct appeal to gas stations and encouraged them to simply charge less for gasoline.

The president urged compliance, without any hesitation.

"And do it now," he ordered.

Bezos like other smart business types probably has a donations manager to sprinkle just enough to be visible and conceal any motivation.

IMO he would like to run for office and there is only one that he has any interest in.

IIRC Eisenhower advised his men to vote but not declare a party.

A donation of $10 million to a nonpartisan super PAC that aims to elect military veterans ...

Stock market is down 8.5 trillion this yer.

The damage Biden has done in less than 2 years is astonishing and outrageous. All he can do is blame Putin and local gas stations, and criticize Americans who are so stupid that they do not recognize what an outstanding job he is doing as 'resident.

—”When even the leftist billionaires”

Yes, he supports gay marriage but he also supports charter schools? His stepfather also gave a few million that he happened to have laying around to charter schools.

The AMAZON PAC splits right down the middle 50% left and 50% right.

I’m curious, can you point to anything that clearly shows him as a lefty?

Yes, his former wife gave megabucks all to the left. IMO she did it to stick it to Bezos.

Then. Mr. Bezos, instruct your newspaper to start exposing this lie, and to savage the Obama/Biden administration.

Oh, and expose Obama as the puppetmaster.

You mean to tell me that Bezos hasn’t figured out until now that all Joe has ever done his whole life is a lie? Joe lies about everything, always has lied about every single thing. He’s sick with his lies.

—”Biden is trapped, and he knows it (or his handlers do).”

IMO they would be pointing him to the door, were it not for the Kamala problem.

Trip him up a few times and point out how old joe has lost it.

Which makes me wonder what is really going on given how there are so many rumors that Amazon was backed by Intelligence sources to get started

Even Bezos can only go so far to defend Brandon.

How true! I however, have little sympathy for Jeff and others like him. This is what they wanted and worked for.

Bezos is right in there with the rest of ObamaIII but he can’t afford to lose half of the country so he criticizes the inflation excuses.

And yet his blog, the WaPo, keeps spewing pro-Biden propaganda.

All true but Biden just does want he is told to do and says what is told to say. A one term call guy both houses.

Inflation is always contrived.

While searching for the price of cotton a hundred years ago, I found on the internet a United States Department of Agriculture technical bulletin, dated January 1928. Assigning 1913 as base year 1.00 it has a graph that shows, “In 1926 only two-thirds as much could be bought for a dollar as in 1913.” It was down to about fifty percent in 1920.

Meanwhile, Bezos’ publishing rag (the Washington Post) keeps peddling Biden’s nonsense as if it made sense.

“ Biden is the front man who is designated to take the blame.”

Exactly! And there is no appeal since we do not even know who is pulling the strings. The propaganda media will not challenge him.

The Dems in leadership are ok with seeing our economy destroyed as long as they are the bosses while it happens.

Excellent point. Bezos WaPo is one of the principal reasons Biden is in the White House.

Biden a fantasist thinks he a James Bond type but in reality he’s just a Eddy Haskell in the arena of life.
