Joe Biden has insisted he doesn't want Barack Obama's endorsement in his third run for the presidency.
But if history is any gauge, Obama had no intention of going out on a limb for his former VP this time around.
The 'bromance' between the former president and Joe Biden that blossomed when Obama took office in 2008, dissipated in the post-White House years, according to an upcoming book about the pair: Barack and Joe: The Making of an Extraordinary Partnership.
While the two men did develop a strong affection for one another, there were times Biden drove Obama over the edge as the book reveals a younger Obama once rolled his eyes at Biden's constant babbling, sending a note to his adviser saying: 'Shoot. Me. Now.'
And it was a political embarrassment for Biden when Obama failed to step up and support his former vice president in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential races.

Wow, and I thought I was sometimes not-so-professional in gov’t meetings. This guy was President. If I had been caught doing something like that...
Absolutely, Obama the Empty Suit.
Sounds like an Executive Order to me.
Full title: “EXCLUSIVE: ‘Shoot. Me. Now!’ How Barack Obama rolled his eyes and scribbled a note to his adviser as Joe Biden’s long-winded babbling droned on and why he refused to endorse his former VP TWICE”
I have on occasion used that phrase when I have to listen to someone very annoying. Probably would have said that if anyone had forced me to watch one of the Dem Presidential “debates.”
>>>Obama once rolled his eyes at Biden’s constant babbling, sending a note to his adviser saying: ‘Shoot. Me. Now.’ <<<
I can identify with that. I felt the EXACT same way every time I saw Hussein on TV or heard his voice. Gag!
What a terrible 8 yrs that was.

Completely avoidable.
Obama was never eligible.

If only..........
Obama never had the balls to reign-in Biden over his stupid remarks or groping of little girls and women. Because of his silence on these matters, you might as well say he condoned it. Biden has gone unchecked for years, so now they can all reap the blowback of what they have wrought.
That's true.
So Obama didn’t like that Biden wouldn’t represent a “Teutonic” change Obama fancied he had brought about. Where’s the editor?
His mentality is still better than Joe’s

The first and most important qualification for promotion into the senior executive service is a lack of intelligence ( self-awareness ).
The second most important qualification is the ability to suspend ones sense of reality.
and finally, the third most important quality is the ability to polish your brown nose until it reflects perfectly the asses of those you kiss!
The higher up one climbs in the swamp the lower ones IQ becomes.
So, you are telling us that Barack was vetted?
Come on now......The bastard was greased, like a pig, and sailed/slipped into the p_residency.
This country should always be shamed for its carelessness!
Correct.
Part 2
‘’No mention of an office of vice president was made at the 1787 Constitutional Convention until near the end, when an 11-member committee on “Leftover Business” proposed a method of electing the chief executive (president).[10] Delegates had previously considered the selection of the Senate’s presiding officer, deciding that, “The Senate shall choose its own President,” and had agreed that this official would be designated the executive’s immediate successon.’’

Originally the Senators were appointed by the State Legislatures. Remember, the country was the United STATES of America...with semi-autonomous sovereign states with a weak Federal Government.
The way it should be now!
