Joe Biden’s owes all of his current political capital to the fact that Barack Obama selected him as his running mate in 2008. His 2008 campaign barely resonated with Democratic voters. But Obama needed someone who, on paper, had something he did not: experience. So Biden was picked as his running mate, and Biden’s political stock shot up.
Biden, in turn, repeatedly name-dropped Obama during the 2020 primary campaign, and referenced their continuing close relationship.
But despite the public image (created by Biden) that Barack Obama and Joe Biden are BFFs,sources told Politico that there are significant tensions between them and their camps, and that Obama really doesn’t think too highly of Joe.
Obama also specifically questioned Biden’s fitness for office.
“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up,” Obama is alleged to have told one source for the article.
Members of the Biden team are also not too thrilled with Obama, and complained that Obama’s endorsement of Biden was weak compared to his 2016 endorsement of Hillary Clinton.
In 2016, Obama wholeheartedly endorsed Clinton, saying, “I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.”
Compare that with Obama’s endorsement of Biden earlier this year, made only after Biden was the last candidate standing: “I believe Joe has all of the qualities we need in a president right now … and I know he will surround himself with good people.”
But tensions go deeper than Obama’s half-hearted endorsement in 2020.

hahaha, ok so now you want to listen to the unnamed sources and political innuendo. Good deal. I'll agree that Obama probably said this. Now you clowns should go back and believe the multiple insider witness statements of the bufoonery, serious lack of leadership skills, and corruption by Trump.
ReplyDeleteSo says the political expert 11:00 an idiot. Twit that knows everything NOT! 😂😂😂😂🖕
DeleteRight he is a fu-k up same as osama.
ReplyDeletePeople who believed in Obama like I did and I voted for him twice but I am so ashamed I believed anything that came out of his mouth. He talked about his white grandmother and how she was his favorite person, he treated whites so nice and I thought he loved all people and was fair to everyone. Then he started the Al Sharpton friendship, and surrounded himself with radical racists. He never did furnish is American birth certificate became our President and Commander and Chief, then we all heard his father was named Hussein and that they were Arabs. His alliance was with our enemies everything about him is false and lies. Now your reading what he really felt about Biden and used him to gain votes. Obama should be erased as ever being our president a professional liar is all he is.
ReplyDeleteIts not that he will eff things up - its that he won't make it 4 years.
