A former Obama adviser and current CNN contributor claimed Saturday that President Obama is the first president to have won the Triple Crown of horse racing since Jimmy Carter.

Claiming credit where literally none is due is the flipside of the Obama trademark of evading responsibility, but former Obama senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer took it to a new low Saturday with this comment on the Belmont Stakes victory by a horse called American Pharaoh (a suitable epigram for the Obama administration):

Another accomplishment — Obama first President to have a Triple Crown winner since Carter — Dan Pfeiffer (@danpfeiffer) June 6, 2015

The response was swift, sarcastic — and scornful.

@danpfeiffer @KJS407 thanks Obama. no really thank you @POTUS you my god — Colin (@ColJE10) June 6, 2015

@danpfeiffer does the horse get to go to the White House? — Thomas C. Bowen (@thomascbowen) June 6, 2015

I didn’t realize he was running. Tool. @danpfeiffer — Mr. X (@GlomarResponder) June 6, 2015

For reals, playah. Cant find a bigger horse’s ass than Obumbles @danpfeiffer https://t.co/uLeZ9B8Ll8 — The 57th State ℅EF™ (@EF517_V2) June 6, 2015

Further, Odipshit and Carter share many other qualities… Clueless, incompetent and self-obsessed @danpfeiffer https://t.co/uLeZ9B8Ll8

@danpfeiffer Will Obama eat the horse like he ate the dog? — Marooned in Marin (@MaroonedInMarin) June 6, 2015

Jimmy Carter and Obama are both lucky to Iran, people who hate working, and horses. @danpfeiffer — Danthony Bialsma (@AnthonyBialy) June 6, 2015

This one brings to mind Obama’s “You didn’t build that” statement.

You didn’t race that?

@danpfeiffer @HotlineJosh So let me guess, this is another accomplishment by someone/something else that Obama will take credit for? — Dan (@psuflyers24) June 6, 2015

And my favorite came from a New York-based liberal journalist:

@danpfeiffer And horse named after him to boot!* * by right wing — Tom Watson (@tomwatson) June 6, 2015
