Seth Meyers Scorches A Specific Obama Critique Of Trump: OK, But You Should Have

LOADINGERROR LOADINGSeth Meyers on Thursday called out Barack Obama over a particular line of attack the former president deployed against Donald Trump during recent campaign rally appearances for defeated Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.Obama urged voters not to be “bamboozled” into voting for the now-president elect because Trump sent out stimulus checks featuring his signature during the coronavirus pandemic.Advertisement “Let me make sure you all understand this,” Obama said at one rally in October.

“Joe Biden sent you a check during the pandemic just like I gave people relief during the Great Recession.The thing is, we didn’t put our name on it because it wasn’t about feeding our egos, it wasn’t about advancing our politics, it was about helping people.

That’s the difference.”Meyers aired footage of Obama’s comments.Then the “Late Night” host commented:OK, but you should have.Like, next time, put your name on it.

Seriously, Joe Biden should have sent everyone $1,000 in the mail and called it Biden Bucks.And it’s not an issue of left versus far left.

You just have to make people’s lives better in a way that’s direct and easy to understand, and then aggressively take credit for it.Meyers noted how “Obamacare” ― aka the Affordable Care Act ― is “great” and “in the polls, people say they love it, they want to keep it.”“But polls also show they’re sometimes confused by it or don’t even know they have it,” he explained.“So next time, make it easy.

Just pass a universal health care plan and send everyone a little ID card in the mail that says ‘Obamacare,’ or ‘A Democrat gave this to you.Please remember that, OK?’”Advertisement Watch Meyers’ full monologue here:RelatedDonald Trump2024 electionsSeth MeyersFox News Hosts Suggest ‘Death Penalty’ For Trump ProsecutorsDonald Trump Jr.
