(This post may contain disputed claims. We make no assertions as to the validity of the information presented by our Opinion Columnist. We are an opinion blog, not a traditional news outlet, and this post should be treated as such. Enjoy.)Barack Obama finally ended his silence on the pandemic, and we shouldn’t be surprised he is pointing to President Donald Trump as the villain. The former president is making the wild accusation that Trump did not heed the warnings of the pandemic, and he says Trump is doing the same thing with climate change. Well, Americans are livid, and they immediately made Barack regret his disgraceful remarks. Don’t miss this.
Barack Obama is using the Democrats talking point about this pandemic being Trump’s fault, and he is also taking it up a notch. The former president has a way of getting his message across by alluding to climate change. It’s also interesting that Barack is blaming Trump when we know his record of handling the H1N1 pandemic.
“We’ve seen all too terribly the consequences of those who denied warnings of a pandemic,” Obama tweeted. “We can’t afford any more consequences of climate denial. All of us, especially young people, have to demand better of our government at every level and vote this fall.”

In other words, Barry claims Trump “denied” the pandemic and also “denied” climate change. Obama sees climate change as deadly as the coronavirus.
“Former US President Barack Obama took a veiled swipe Tuesday at his successor Donald Trump, chastising those who have ‘denied warnings’ of a deadly coronavirus pandemic and cautioning against ignoring the consequences of climate change,” Yahoo News reports.
Well, Barack is making some serious accusations. However, he failed to mention anything about the coronavirus until March 4. On January 30, while Barack was busy tweeting about “Black History Month,” it was President Trump who was taking action.
Following the initial reports from China and anticipating multiple agency aspects of the U.S. government would need a unified command structure, President Trump assembled a unified task force on January 30 to coordinate all response efforts across the totality of government.
While the party of Barack was impeaching Trump, it was the 45th president who made the unprecedented decision to ban travel from China. Immediately following the travel restrictions, HHS Secretary Alex Azar declared a nationwide public health emergency.
We could go on and list every precaution President Trump took while Barack Obama sat around still working on his memoir and watching the Senate impeachment trial. But we know most Americans are already aware of the great job he is doing.
That’s why Americans blasted Barack Obama for his disgraceful post on Twitter.
“Swine flu pandemic deaths are on your hands, Sparky. And as far as trying to tie this to Climate Change, how’s that mansion on Martha’s Vineyard, hypocrite? #DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica #coronavirus,” tweeted Harriet Baldwin.

“You never fail to try and make everything about yourself. I am no fan of George W. Bush, but he didn’t sit there your whole pathetic presidency and grandstand. Why don’t you go to your lakefront home with [Michelle] and leave us all alone?” tweeted DeAnna Lorraine, who is running against Nacy Pelosi.

“You know it’s coming. When this is over and they investigate what happened–the 2011 NIH report about the lack of medical supplies for a pandemic–that you ignored–will be front and center,” tweeted “Mallen.”

Trump called Obama out earlier this month for his administration’s neglect of the CDC and their poor response to the Swine flu pandemic.
“For decades the @CDCgov looked at, and studied its testing system, but did nothing about it,” Trump tweeted on March 13. “It would always be inadequate and slow for a large scale pandemic, but a pandemic would never happen, they hoped. President Obama made changes that only complicated things further.”
“Their response to H1N1 Swine Flu was a full-scale disaster, with thousands dying, and nothing meaningful done to fix the testing problem, until now. The changes have been made and testing will soon happen on a very large scale basis. All Red Tape has been cut, ready to go!” Trump added.

Likewise, the state of New York ignored the problem for years. Now, it’s President Trump to the rescue. It’s hard to explain why the states led by Democrats are seeing a bigger problem than the rest of the country. Some of it has to do with population centers.
However, these states had years to prepare and chose to look the other way and fund their own pet projects. When this is all over, it will be proven that the Democrats, who were in power for years in New York and California, dropped the ball. Barry Obama’s neglect over eight years also hurt us in ways we are just beginning to find.
