Former President Barack Obama criticized the U.S. coronavirus response in a thinly veiled swipe at the Trump administration during a virtual commencement address delivered to historically black colleges and universities.
"More than anything, this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they're doing," Obama said in his speech. "A lot of them aren't even pretending to be in charge." "I don't take responsibility at all," Trump said at a press briefing. "Because we were given a — a set of circumstances, and we were given rules, regulations and specifications from a different time."
yes we are familiar with such exchanges back in our territory …
Stop giving this criminal a platform
He really inspired graduates to fail.
Easy for him to criticize - his terms were very benign - he had zero crises to deal with. Easy to arm chair quarterback - President Obama should not stoop to Trumps level as it cheapens him.
He isn’t in jail yet ?
Osama needs to slither back in his hole
Pathetic Past President..Period
He always puts down America, nothing new to see here. He is disgusting. Very fake of him.
Truth hurts ? Trump has to lie, or have his kids lie for him, to get the same results
Was seriously thinking of how Mr Obama could have addressed the graduates (& world) without addressing leadership and our current issues. Would’ve been impossible to do so, without addressing the “elephant in the room.” GREAT JOB!
He spent 8 years bashing Bush. NOW He's bashing Trump. I just wish he'd go away
If I had a batlight for KurtSchlichter I would turn it on now and go back to sleep.
Obama goes down as the worst POTUS the US ever had, and now becomes the most insightless. He should concentrate on criticizing himself.
Ebola? Oh wait...swine flu? Oh wait, he meant bird flu? Oh wait...what other viruses were under BarackObama watch?
Just like the punk kid on the playground that lets his mouth get his ass into a situation he knows he cant get out of, then hides behind 10 of his friends and continues to talk shit. Legacy OBAMAGATE KAG2020 realDonaldTrump BarackObama TuesdayMotivation
The Ghetto Messiah and his legacy....
You used your commencement speech to lie about a sitting president. You are a disgrace. ObamaGate investigations have only begun.
mainstream media reduces a celebration of this year's graduates to a 7-second blurb for click bait
The former Spy in Chief looks tired and old
thoton9 He may be right, but frankly speaking I am not a fan of Obama, and aside from failed health care reform, fail to see what he contributed to the world as the ‘Leader of the Free World’.
My daughter was so glad to hear that. Politicizing commencement speeches is awesome.
You had your turn. And now it's our turn. People let's get things jheated up retwitt every crumb you have on this slime ball
Glad Barry is gone
He started the whole Russia narritive
Using a commencement address to bash a current sitting President is tasteless, it is how low American politics has gone. Shameful BarackObama
He really needs to be classy and not put down the president! No other president before him has spoken out like like this until realDonaldTrump became president.
Completely Wrong Time for that...Un-Presidential
He is an idiot and a war criminal. The most corrupt POTUS in the history of humanity. He needs to be quiet and enjoy his expensive mansion. SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi BBCPolitics
A true leader!
Why don’t we concentrate on our current president and give him the support he is due instead of being Anti-American.
Apparently he is not alone
Maybe he should stop popping off like other ex-presidents
What did Obama know and when did he know it?
H1n1
Thank-you for finally speaking out, he has never stopped accusing you of insane act, while he sits there conning America.
How can Trump said that Obama was the one who should be blamed for all of this pandemic while its virus still remain undetected in 2019
Because he has no class. All past Presidents have stayed out of politics after their term. Not Obumer. He likes himself too much to do the right thing.
He is right...
Google Obama directs, the leaks and ambushes made the transition chaotic, scared quality individuals away from working in the administration, made effective governance almost impossible, and materially damaged national security.
Good, because it’s been terrible.
Disgruntled ex-employer-in-chief. We've moved on to bigger and better. TRUMP 2020 ObamaGate ObamaDeceivingtheMasses
Stellar job with restocking the medical supplies before you left, BarackObama! Hey...remember that one time you ended a realDonaldTrump mean tweet with a mic drop? That was fun! Turns out he's doing a FAR better job than you as president. 🇺🇸 Trump2020 LatinosForTrump
AWorldOutOfMind Good. Say it louder.
AWorldOutOfMind And rightfully so
As much as Trump lies against President Obama...it’s not surprising that President Obama took the opportunity to call a spade a spade
How about those depleted medical suppy stockpiles? Obama sinks to a new low.
He’s feeling the 2020 pressure. Finally speaking up. Why? Sh!ts getting close. Biden is flawed. Trump proved he can withstand sexual assault claims. Can Biden?
Hey Obama, thanks for leaving us all those masks and ventilators.
And not only CLASS, BUT, with poise and structured thought with INTELLIGENCE behind his statements....
BarackObama looks a little spooked, realDonaldTrump
He also failed at and contributed to a lot of the things he spoke about in his speech, very odd. Just another with zero self awareness?
It has always been a canard that the obama administration was free of scandal. In fact, it had plenty of scandal. It was free of accountability.
FakeNewsIsNotEssential FakeNewsMedia
At least he tells the truth wasn’t perfect but way better than douchebag Kingdouchebagdt
apollozac Correct on all points.
And did it with CLASS!
RussiaBots everywhere
BREAKING! **a previous president said something about something**
Joe Biden would call that a DISTRACTION by Barack Obama.
POTUS44 you a friend of CCP?
Have to agree with him.
Obama's right NOTHING good is happening with Trump! realDonaldTrump. You need to resign as your failure on the COVID-19 is inexcusable and unforgiving!
How many anti vaccinators will not get the covid19 vaccine? Up to 60,000 die from the flu every year and another 40,000 plus from pneumonia in the U S. Did you get your flu and pneumonia vaccine? 50% didn't! 80 percent of children who died of flu were unvaccinated. Moms?
OBama shows himself to be a truly narcissistic individual with a total lack of concen for the truth.
Leaders like Pelosi or?
Very biased reporting! I want to hear all sides to a story. I want to hear the whole story! Is there any journalists out there that know how to report an entire story anymore?!!
OBAMAGATEGATE
Hi IAm 8 year old boy please don't mind but telling truth your face is not even one time Watchable. Trump ji from 🇮🇳
He would know about pretending
Can't argue the point since it does seem to be true.
Why did Obama delay backing Biden? 🧐
Lol says the one who depleted nationalstockpile and how he did at h1n1 again?
Who was in charge when 500 thugs in the Middle East were allowed to grow to 20k plus and cause the largest casualty and suffering by a terrorist group in history? Who? Oh that’s right.
Fortunately, the new generation of Alinskyites are so radical they’ll never be able to trick the American people into believing they’re moderates like Hillary and Obama’s generation did. There’s a reason Democrat primary voters chose the most stale, non-woke candidate they had.
What makes me so sad, and hopeless, is that even with a common deadly enemy in this virus, citizens of this country can't come together for a common cause. This reminds me of the US during the '70s with Vietnam, or 2000s with Iraq. Was WW2 the last time the country came together?
Oh please. Your global put down is so obvious. Go home.
Obama is pathetic. He will get caught for his dirty dealings.
Easy to comment from the sidelines
Soros puppet
I turn on Twitter and I see posts from Obama ex liar in chief everywhere.... Yawn going back in bed. Waiting for Trump 2020 and 4 more years of crying from the communist propaganda
Facts.
Distraction!!!
Last week a dictator, this week not even pretending to be in charge
OBAMA 🙄, the guy who spied on a political opponent.
The biggest fake president and dope has nothing to say for the murder of the Benghazi people or the people he killed during the H1N1 virus he spent golfing!!! Total cripple and hypocrite
Oh look CNBC flocking to the head Obama God must be just likeold times.
The silver tongue snake crawled out of his hole to cause a diversion for forgetful, forgettable sleepy, handsy, Joe. The fake multi-millionaire socialist racist just needs to crawl back in his hole and collect his $$$,$$$,$$$ from Netflix for sh*t content.
Have we ever had a former US president try so hard to undermine his successor? It's shameful.
Obama is a known criminal. Arrest him.
ObamaGreat and so far superior to realDonaldtrump
So Obama was pretending to be President for 8 years. Thanks for telling us now🤪
CASE CLOSED
The truth will come out
Well Obama your pretty busy making deals with Netflix so leave the country in the hands of President Trump
Funny, he was great at acting like he was in charge 😆
Obama was completely silent up to the time when the Flynn unmasking fiasco reared it’s ugly head...Sheer diversion tactic!?
FISAGATE Obama is a smooth talking corruptocrat. Soon he will be irrelevant.
Why can’t these leaders be criminally charged for causing mass deaths due to negligence and lack of actions even when they were made aware by the system for which we pay taxes Till the time we change the system this brazen and naked negligence by these dolts will continue😡
Obamagate
O+2
Correction - they don’t even know how to pretend to be in-charge TrumpHasNoPlan
Obamagate Obama: -Wiretapped Trump tower -Hillary funded oppo research used by FBI to obtain FISA warrants -Unmasked Flynn then criminal leaked to media -Withheld information from an incoming president -Encouraged reporters to push RussiaGate -Investigated incoming admin
Doesn't anyone else find it odd (repulsive) that previous presidents are either doing ? or like Jimmy Carter is out building houses for the poor. But Obama is actively criticizing Trump, something I don't ever remember any other former president doing?
Is Obama running for office see we are being asked to vote for joe Biden who can’t bring anything but Obama to the table the people messed up big time
And President Obama is an expert at pretending to be in charge.
Obama the terrorist-hugger
Obama predicted something like this would happen so he quietly bought 20 years of ammunition for the National Guard.
He’s trying to deflect from his own actions - Treason!!!!
Someone needs to do a mock up of the Seinfeld 'We're not men!' scene. With Trump's part as 'We're not leaders!'
LOL, that's hilarious. Not like him and his husband 'pretending to be man and wife'... LOLOL
Pandemic no accident in election year as Trump pushing American agenda cut in trade deficit

CNN won’t even cover the briefings and then ask where is the leadership. Sit down and shut up.
Stay in like Trump during the Vietnam War
