Barack Obama Falsely Accuses Trump of 'Ignoring Warnings of a Pandemic'
PJ Media ^ | March 31, 2020 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 03/31/2020 4:54:14 PM PDT by jazusamo

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.

Bammy like slow Joe never did know when to keep his mouth shut...

And Bammy never knew what was going on until he read about it in the papers or saw it on CNN. He said so himself. He was too busy making his NCAA picks and playing golf.

Bammy and the Lefties never miss a chance for exploitation. Their not-so-secret hope is this pandemic will last a long time. They don’t care how many die (the Left is all about death). They only want to win at whatever expense it takes.

IF that communist, queer POS was smart, he’d keep his mouth SHUT about now and find a good rock to crawl under.
Somehow, this swine turd is likely involved in this...dunno how, just sense that he and Brennan are involved somehow.

Manc...good to see you! Hope you are well! Is PJW's accent North Yorkshire? Been a while since I've lived there. I can usually guess the dialect...sometimes not. And I'm Southern USA...and learned Northern UK dialect and slang from "Coronation Street" when I moved there in the early 90's. I couldn't understand them...they couldn't understand me. 😁

“Who was on watch during Benghazi? “

Obama also ignored the warnings he got about the Boston Marathon bombing.

He’s a bigger threat to this nation than Saddam Hussein ever was. Most divisive POS to ever live in the White House.

Four inches of snow can put very high pressure on the ground and on roofs, depending on the wetness of the snow. Some people probably don’t realize just how much weight that is and the force it has.

Yep, their hatred of President Trump and the upcoming election is all that’s on their agenda and they’ll do and say anything to defeat him.

>> warnings about a possible pandemic back in January and February <<

I am sure the Dems and MSM would have fully supported Trump in any measure he wanted to fight the pandemic. They would have never accused him of using a crisis to distract from the impeachment. /S

Your clue lies in finding out who authorized the recruitment of spies from China to have full access to U.S. biological labs.

If there ever was a worse POS that achieved that office, most likely through fraud. He is the example. If he died tomorrow, it would not be to soon. He should close his mouth!
