“Joe, don’t call me, I’ll 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 didn’t, Biden knew his best bud was AWOL. Even after Biden’s 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

Biden shouldn't take the snub personally.

Obama has contempt for everyone.

“...The Fraud’s handlers have bigger worries....”
Exactly. Biden knows the hammer is about to fall and is trying to distance himself from the Fraud as much as possible. His decision to run for POTUS wasn’t because he wants to win...he knows he can’t. His decision to run is an attempt to keep his sorry posterior from being investigated/prosecuted.

I thought I heard, that Biden supposedly asked Obama not to endorse him, that Biden wanted to earn the nomination on his own, or something along those lines?

Biden wasn’t picked to be VP because he was smart or talented.

He was there to make middle America think that Biden was going to “moderate” big city Obama.

The Kenyan from Indonesia likely wants the Jamaican/Indian as the nominee to legitimize his usurpation.

Obama is a puppet. The idea that he chose Biden, or anyone else, is laughable

Biden was chosen because he was an old white democrat, and a blubbering idiot who would never upstage Obama.

Behind the scenes, Obama has been super busy trying to get Two Man Corn Hole on the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics schedule.

That has been my take.
Obama has always been an idiot without teleprompter clues.

Biden knows his decision to run for POTUS isn’t because he wants to win...he knows he can’t.....

MY TWO CENTS: just being in the race is good for a few billion dollar deals......
we know for a fact that Biden's chronically unemployed son cant make it unless daddy greases the wheels.

The Clintons became billionaires, raking it in, b/c Hillary was "a shoo-in as the next US president" (smirk).

Obama has many of his own troubles...like going to jail or Trump slaughtering the entire Democrat Party into political oblivion...”FOREVER”, which Obama will receive most of the blame and failure for the political death of the Democrat Party!!!

Even though Biden has taken the lead in the current Democrat Primary polls, Obama is smart enough to realize and understand that Biden is a walking moron, for the simple reason the Democrats do not have one single qualified POTUS Candidate to run against Trump for the 2020 POTUS slot!!! Obama will not touch or embrace Joe Biden at all. Poor Joe is dumb & toxic, too!!!
