In comparison to Joe Biden, Barack Obama appears to be a picture of probity, wisdom, and dignity.

But in reality, he's just a more unflappable liar, and now that Democrats are on the rocks in the polls, he's cribbed a page from Ronald Reagan, a man he's always had a curious fascination for, claiming that: “The country is better off than when you took office. We should all be deeply grateful for that.”

If Obama were ask that as a question, the way Reagan once did, the open-ended answer would not have been to his liking, so Obama supplied the answer, too.

He was all gaslighting.

The geniuses at Issues & Insights have a tremendous takedown of that ridiculous claim, going point by point, with hard numbers, showing just how phony that Obama statement was, beginning with this memorable lede:

When he wasn’t admiring his White House portrait, Barack Obama managed to say a nice thing about President Joe Biden. He must have been joking, though, because what he said defies reality.

“Joe, it is now America’s good fortune to have you as president,” Obama said. “The country is better off than when you took office. We should all be deeply grateful for that.”

Our “good fortune”? Let’s review just how much “better off” we all are thanks to Biden and his fellow Democrats.

COVID deaths: When Biden took office on the promise that he had a plan that would end COVID, the official death count was 424,318. Today it is over 1.044 million. In other words, there have been nearly 620,000 COVID deaths on Biden’s watch. And that’s despite all the interventions Biden claimed would end the pandemic.

Gaslighting? Why, in the last few years, has this word become so over used?

Like Facism, I’m not sure many people, including the users, really know what it means.

Obama is doing what comes natrually to him, LYING, deceptiona and manipulation of the truth and people to his advantage. I guess that is gaslighting.

It is now America’s good fortune to have you as president.

Funny that eh? The media basically attributed each and every death in 2020 as the fault of the administration.
