24, June 2019                                  Joe Biden

Joe Biden’s constant name dropping and fawning over his “good friend Barrack” is difficult to swallow. He is constantly wrapping himself in the mantle of the 44th president. It is time he offered his own plans for the future of America. Fulsome accolades of Obama is not a plan, it is a cheap way of trying to garner African-American votes.

“The proudest thing about serving with him,” Biden gushed of Obama, “was there wasn’t one single, solitary hint of scandal for eight years.” He made the comment at a campaign event in New Hampshire and on the ABC,  “The View” and again in Iowa.

Perhaps, Biden has been listening too closely to Trump’s rerun speeches.  

Joe, you are not going to slay the Trump dragon hanging on to Obama’s coattails.

Obama presidency was not without controversy.

When he took office, none of Bush/Cheney cabal were prosecuted for the “shock and awe” attack on Iraq based on bogus intelligence of non-existent WMDs causing the death of thousands of Americans and millions of Iraqis. Iraq is still in shambles.

Then there was the Benghazi cover-up resulting in the death of  Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others which was falsely attributed to an  irrelevant YouTube video.

On Obama’s watch tens of thousands of veterans were denied proper health care at VA hospitals causing the possible death of 30,000. Thousands of veteran’s heath care files were deleted resulting in the resignation of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki.

Obama was called out by PolitiFact and the Poynter Institute for falsely assuring voters that if “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it.”

“Operation Fast and Furious” armed narco-traffickers with about 2,000 weapons resulting in the murder of hundreds of Mexicans and one American. Obama denied access to files in connection with the operation claiming executive privilege and attorney general, Eric Holder, refused to respond to Congressional demands relating to the operation leading to his  being held in contempt of Congress, the first in American history.

Obama’s CIA director, John Brennan made a blatant effort to cover up incidents of horrific torture by CIA officials by breaking into Senate computer files and in a purely vindictive effort used his position to demand the firing  at least one staffer charged with investigating his agency.

Biden also seems to have forgotten a major scandal involving the Internal Revenue Service leadership aggressively targeting conservative groups to undermine their voice in elections. Then there were incidents of gross sexual misconduct by the Secret Service.

Nome of the “banksters” were held responsible for the 2008 Wall Street crash caused by  blatant dishonesty promoting worthless mortgage backed securities.

No, Joe you seem to suffer a bout of convenient amnesia. There were lots of scandals under Obama’s watch.
