President Biden and those in his administration, along with other Democrats, have started spinning rising gas prices and inflation as “Putin’s price hikes” (Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had a much better name for it). Biden has also blamed sanctions against Russia:
ABC News ~ NEW: Pres. Biden blames high inflation rates in part on Russian sanctions: "The costs we are imposing on Putin and his cronies are far more devastating than the costs we are facing."

How’s that spin selling for Team Biden? Former Obama “car czar” Steve Rattner isn’t buying it:
Steven Rattner ~ Well, no. These are Feb #'s and only include small Russia effect. This is Biden's inflation and he needs to own it.
For some reason we don’t think this administration is going to “own” anything.
Spencer Brown ~ Even Obama admin folks are calling BS on Biden’s attempts to blame Russia for 13+ months of bad economic policy.
Tommy Pigott ~ Even former Obama economic advisors aren't buying Biden's BS on inflation.
Talk like that might get Rattner put into a time-out in many lefty circles:
Mike Parker ~ Making statements like that will get you kicked off MSNBC.
Give the Biden fails enough time and perhaps even DSDNC will start to turn.
usndan505 ~ Obama’s people turning on Biden.
None of your business ~ @POTUS lies lies lies.
Gepetto would die of exhaustion if he had to make enough Pinocchios for honest fact-checks of this administration’s claims.
