Here’s a fun video to share with any liberal relatives you have, who might be suffering from Trump or Musk Derangement Syndrome. It went viral this week when someone uncovered it and posted it on X (formerly Twitter).
The video features Barack Obama introducing a new government department that would be dedicated to rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayer money in the federal budget.
No one got upset back when Obama announced that he was going to DOGE the federal government. That’s because no one took him seriously. If there was one thing that the creator of Obamacare was known for, it certainly wasn’t fiscal restraint.
Everyone knew that Obama’s version of DOGE would pretend to cut a few federal programs, but The Swamp would actually just hide the payments through its usual network of accounting tricks. After all, it’s not as if some computer geek with advanced software would ever come along and be able to trace where the payments were actually going! Right?
One of the funniest things about Obama’s DOGE—and the reason why it was a disastrous failure at its core mission—was that he put his doltish and unaccomplished vice president in charge of it. Joe Biden was the original Elon Musk in Obama’s version of DOGE!
Joe Biden was never exactly the sharpest tool in the shed and that’s why Obama’s government efficiency move failed. Here’s Obama doing his phony “Aw shucks” routine as he announced the creation of DOGE back in 2011.
OMG this is not AI, it’s real. It’s a must watch.
2011. Obama announces a DOGE department and puts Joe Biden in charge of it! ?
