Joe, dont call me, Ill call you. That had to be the essence of the last phone call between Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Otherwise the former president would have endorsed his loyal former vice president, a man who served under him for eight years, not to mention running together in two national political campaigns.
The pair of politicians gave the appearance of being buddies when they were in the White House. They often hugged. Obama said Biden was a great vice president. Biden said Obama was a brother to me, a best friend forever.
But when the time came for Biden to announce his candidacy for president, the phone did not ring, and when it didnt, Biden knew his best bud was AWOL. Even after Bidens announcement Obama spoke only through his press secretary, Katie Hill.
Hill said that Obama and Biden forged a special bond over the years and remain close today.
It was far from an endorsemen

Frankly, I have no problem with a former President staying neutral in the primaries. I think that there is an element of class to the former Presidents staying above the fray in the primaries.

They often hugged.
Joe's idea.
The kenyan is terrified of Reagan-Mondale 2.0 in 2020.
At this point it’s every sneaky fox for himself. Barr has mounted his ‘hunter’ steed and I hear the foxhounds baying out ahead, hot on the trail of both Obozo and Lunch Box Joe.
Biden didn’t want Obama’s endorsement. Obama is poison to any Democrat. That’s why nine of them have asked for it.
I suspect so as well. My guess is the addage Blood is thicker than water is in play here. Obama will not endorse anyone who is white unless that is all that is left.
As the conspiracy to overthrow the president gets exposed, expect Obama to try to melt into the background as to not get noticed.
Joe passes gaffes.
Post of the day .
“asked Obama not to endorse him, that Biden wanted to earn the nomination on his own”
You don’t win nomination without endorsements and support. Sour grapes here.
He’s getting his bootlickers in Congress to do his dirty work for him
The media can’t do much more for him than they already are, short of Acosta strapping on a C-4 vest and running into a Trump Press Conference
“He was there to make middle America think that Biden was going to moderate big city Obama.”
Really? Biden is from Maryland! Hardly “middle America.”
Obama has contempt for white Americans
It worked, didnt it?
Fixed it.
“Really? Biden is from Maryland Delaware! Hardly middle America.
Fixed it.”
Yeah, sorry about that! They’re both so small.
