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.

Lol forgive me Laz. I loved that post every day. Believe it or not, I used to read through every adjective...I loathed Bama that much. Still do.

THe Piece of sht loves to listen to himself speak only, taking domineering paper tiger swipes at people. What a fraud and scam this garbage
Him and AOC, narcissists who only talk because in love with their own voice, their inner empty poetry universe taken over and seduced by their own self listening and looking themselves in the mirror.
TO democrat feminine women who love a man who has skills winning but never look at actual abilities in skills to run a pizza shop, let a lone a country, Obama probably just put that out there with sole troll goal to make them moist.
Obama is trying to vaguely tie global warming and the epidemic in some pretzel like ridiculous funding construct. He must be running out of shakedown money...
Socialism is like returning to roman numeral to conduct mathematics, but do not tell that to the illiterate Obama low info atheists who think they are all about science.
:^)
It was fun! And easy. Only one new descriptor per day.
I tried to do a positive Trump list, only I reached too far. I tried to grab all his positive accomplishments. Unfortunately, I don't think Free Republic can afford the server space.
At least you have some snow to blame cabin fever on!
His stuff is probably POWDER.
Indiana snow is usually CONCRETE.
I hear you, FRiend.
It’s frustrating that 0bama the jerk is still flapping his gums but of course it means nothing, he’s still a zero.
Amen to that!
Exactly!
That may be.
Indiana snow is usually CONCRETE.
So you understand why I mentioned it.
You are not alone.
Does B.0. think President Trump acted Stupidly?
It was only a matter of time that the jug-eared jackass would join the Democrat/Leftist pig-pile. So much for unity and pulling together at a crucial time.
