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 administration’s 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.

Obama has never once opened his mouth without insulting the intelligence of the American people.
Obola is such a hypocrite.
Hmmm. Could have been Laz. I know he’s the first that comes to my mind when it comes to activities with females...but he may have been multi-tasking and was able to insult Bama as Bama deserved.
Yep. 1654 local time, house was shaking a little up near Sandpoint. It's also been snowing all day - about four inches of fresh on the ground. I need a beer.
B-HO, doing what he does best - TRYING to lead from behind. You comfortable back there? Do you need a pillow?
What else would you expect from an evil unAmerican idiot?

Thank you
No names mentioned and he probably didn’t write it himself. Much ado about nothing.
Another piece of excrement speaks. They really seem to be coming out of the woodwork today.
