On Tuesday morning, Barack Obama criticized Trump's rollback of fuel standards in a tweet that made what appears to be a backhanded critique of Trump's response to the coronavirus. "We've seen all too terribly the consequences of those who denied warnings of a pandemic," Obama said.
Who exactly was Obama talking about there? Now, it's quite possible he was actually talking about himself, seeing as how even after the H1N1 pandemic that claimed as many as 18,000 American lives, according to CDC estimates, Obama's response to the Ebola pandemic later in his presidency was similarly wrought with problems--so much so that even the Obama White House and the CDC acknowledged there were multiple shortcomings in the administrations response. Those shortcomings may have been the result of Obama axing the White House pandemic response office in 2009, which was reinstated in 2016 specifically because of his administration's poor response to the Ebola pandemic.
But, let's not kid ourselves. Obama rarely took responsibility for his failures, and he certainly wasn't owning up to them in his tweet. Obama was joining the chorus of anti-Trumpers blaming him--not China--for the coronavirus pandemic.
The likely source of Obama's accusation was a Washington Post hit piece earlier this month that claimed intelligence agencies issued warnings about a possible pandemic back in January and February, while President Trump and lawmakers played down the threat and failed to take action" that might have slowed the spread of the coronavirus. This allegation was easily debunked by the facts. The Trump administration acted quickly and decisively after China reported the discovery of the coronavirus to the World Health Organization (WHO) on December 31, 2019.

What a swine.
POS is attacking the President with falsehoods during a National Emergency.
I despise that SOB.
I guess that he did not see the Mayor, Gov of NY, Pelosi etc encouraging people to go to China town, hug the Chinese and go out in groups.
The punk speaks.
I encourage everyone to spread this link and show how hypocritical the left are.
Getting noise of huge earthquake in Idaho. Anyone hearing any rumblings?
He sure is and he’s a blatant liar.
This is their ploy. They are going to rewrite history between now and November. Everything will be President Trump’s fault. They are coordinating behind the scenes, a massive number of people in various countries and walks of life. It’s all coordinated.
During the Bama years, there was someone (I’m sorry I can’t remember who) posted every day with a countdown to when the usurper was out of the people’s house. He used the longest list of unflattering adjectives I’ve ever seen. That’s what I’m thinking of Bama now. His illegal gang ignored the warnings to restock, probably because they were too busy partying, and now he points the finger at the man cleaning up his mess. I loathe him.
Being surrounded by fellatiators tends to warp your sense of self a bit.
Can I say that?
Not much so far.
That sounds like something Laz would do.
You lie! If Obama was still president the media wouldn’t even be covering coronavirus. Coronavirus would just be a new brand of beer.
Bold: Obama calls for the overwhelming electoral defeat of Joe Biden & Nancy Pelosi, after they opposed & demagogued Trumps China travel ban, which helped slow the coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/DaRygnaMQb— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) March 31, 2020
