A majority of voters think former President Barack Obama is influencing President Joe Biden’s administration, and agree with a GOP congressman’s claim that Biden is really a “puppet” for progressives.
That’s according to the latest Rasmussen Reports.
The survey found that 63% of likely U.S. voters believe it is likely that Obama is influencing the policies of the Biden administration, including 40% who consider it “very likely.”
Twenty-nine percent (29%) don’t think it’s likely the Biden administration is influenced by Obama, including 13% who say it’s “not at all likely.”
Many ex-Obama administration staffers work for the Biden administration.
Last year, North Carolina Republican Rep. Greg Murphy said in an interview that Joe Biden is not “running the show” at the White House. “He’s a puppet for a progressive left committee … headed by Obama.”
Fifty-three percent (53%) of voters agree with that quote from Murphy, including 37% who “strongly agree.”
Forty-two percent (42%) disagree, including 31% who “strongly disagree” with the claim that Biden is a “puppet.”

File this under “duh!”
Biden’s initial cabinet of 16 was comprised of 12 Obama appointees.
The four who weren’t Obama appointees (Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and Ambassador to the United Nations) were diversity appointments.
TED,
It had been an A.M. talk-radio
show, interviewing Obama’s
paternal grandmother, being
interviewed in her Kenyan
home.
The talk-show host was stunned,
as she spoke of her PRIDE/presence
at Obama’s birth—in Kenya !

There isn’t an intelligent being out there who doesn’t know that corrupt Joe Biden isn’t an installed puppet.
OBAMA HAS BEEN IN CHARGE SINCE HE WAS IN OFFICAND WITH ALL THAT IS HAPPENING KEEP IN MIND THEW JOE BIDEN WAS OBAMA’S VPAND THAT SAYS SO MUCH IF YOU LOOK
There is a reason that 0bama purchased a multi-million-dollar mansion in Washington, DC, the first former president to do so.
I believe Victor Davis Hanson has presented the case for 0bama running the US, instead of Biden.
Obama and the progressive cabal have always known that JB is a useful idiot. Thus his becoming VP and then President. I’m sure those that have worked with JB for the last 50 years that he’s been in government also know this. As for ole’ Joe, he gets millions selling out Uncle Sam. He knows no shame.
