Well, it’s easy to make this pronouncement when speaking to a friendly crowd of hardcore Democrats. He should try asking this to those who know

Obama: ‘I understand’ why Americans want to know when COVID-19 mandates will end

Former President Barack Obama traveled to New Jersey on Saturday to campaign for Gov. Phil Murphy and claimed that he understands why Americans are questioning when COVID-19 mandates will end.

“The science says it’s the right thing to do,” Obama said in reference to COVID-19 mask and vaccine requirements to a crowd of Murphy supporters in Newark. “You do it because you’re not just protecting yourself, but people you love, people who are vulnerable. But, you know, I don’t know how folks just decide everything’s got to suddenly be political.”

Political, huh?

Obama’s birthday party, Pelosi fundraisers, Emmy awards, AOC photo ops, masks while standing but not while seated in restaurants…??????????? https://t.co/2ffXADc98w

Yeah, remember how Obama had a big birthday bash, and no one was wearing masks? Sure, it was supposedly required that people be vaccinated and get COVID tests …why were tests necessary if they were vaccinated?… but, they weren’t wearing masks, while us peasants are required to wear masks in similar situations. Same with other situations.

And it was primarily Democrats and Leftists, here in the US and around the world, who implemented draconian restrictions and mandates and rules and such. No need to regurgitate everything, you lived it. And it’s primarily Democrats who keep this stuff going

“But I understand why people want to know when this is all going to end,” Obama added.

Yeah, they do. We have masking here in Raleigh and Wake County. There’s no force of law in the order, but, companies will Comply, just to be safe from litigation. Supposedly, the mandate would be lifted when the city/county went below 5% positivity rate. Well, in Wake County it has been under 5% for the last 14 days. No idea on Raleigh because neither Mayor Mary Ann Baldwin (D) not anyone in the city says a damned thing. No updates at all. Wake County’s order would end in November, unless extended. Raleigh’s is open ended. None of the Democratic run major news outlets (WRAL, WNCN, ABC11, News and Observer) ask any questions. So, why are we masking? When does it end? Why no answers? Looks more like control, and Obama wonders why this is political?

Forced vaccination? I’m pro-vax but anti-mandate. People should not lose their jobs over not wanting to get a vaccine which was implemented under emergency order, which had little testing, and we have little data about short and long term effects, nor side effects. Democrats were against the vaccine prior to Let’s Go Brandon taking office. Now they’re into forcing compliance. Not political at all. We were told if we got to a certain herd immunity/vaccination percent this could end. That goalpost keeps moving. We were told if we got the vaccine we could resume our lives. Then they took that back.

Joe’s out there saying cops should be fired for refusing to get vaccinated. He sometimes wears a mask in compliance with his order, doesn’t at other times. He mandates vaccinations for all federal workers, yet, leaves the Postal Service workers out of the mandate. Not political at all.
