In a departure from the Democratic Party candidate preoccupation of offering up ever bigger banquets of free stuff to voters, Joe Biden has said something that sticks out.
He'd offer a Supreme Court spot to former President Barack Obama, "if he'd take it."
Here's a report from the Epoch Times:
Former Vice President Joe Biden said that he would nominate former President Barack Obama to the Supreme Court if he won the presidency, according to several reports.
“Biden asked here in Washington, Iowa, if he would ever nominate former President Obama to serve on the Supreme Court. ‘If he’d take it, yes,’” wrote Wall Street Journal reporter Ken Thomas on Twitter.
New York Times reporter Thomas Kaplan confirmed the former vice president’s “If he’d take it, yes,” statement.
That's a pander.
It not only comes off as a bid to suck up to Obama by offering him this pretty bauble as an incentive to get an endorsement, it also would be pretty useful for Old Joe politically, not having the Obama political machine to worry about if he makes it to the White House, what with Obama being figuratively kicked upstairs to some non-intersecting branch of government. Sure, the question was thrown at Biden, Biden didn't offer it up unsolicited. But Biden was ready with his answer when the question came, which rather looks like he'd thought about the matter earlier and figured this would be a way to win new votes on the left. Given how the media operates these days, it's also possible the question was planted.

God forbid he wins, he will nominate Hillary and she’ll grab it like a life preserve.
Yeah, and Hillary will get to be Sec of State and Brennan will get to be chief of CIA and Comey will be director of FBI and Hunter will be Secretary of The Treasury, etc.
Or better yet, just nominate a teleprompter...TOTUS of the SCOTUS!
And subject himself to a hearing under oarh??? No way would he do that.
If Obama is deserving of a seat on the Supreme Court, Harriet Miers deserves an apology from everyone who questioned her fitness to serve.
Screaming for Obama’s endorsement.
Quid pro Joe!
He still won’t endorse you Joe, pathetic.
Even after all these years, Slo Joe still hasn’t figured out that Obama thinks he is a complete moron.
That would complete the task of making the Supreme Court entirely political.
Is Joe planning on creating an opening or just old fashioned packing the bench. Nine people want to know.
HOW DID SLO JOE GET OBAMA’S RECORDS. NO ONE KNOWS IF HE EVER COMPLETED HIS COLLEGE EDUCATION. HE HAD SOMEKIND OF A LAW DEGREE BUT THAT WAS RESCINDED. HAS SOROS GIVEN SLO JOE PERMISSION TO SUBJECT OBAMA TO THE REQUIRED BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION BEFORE OBAMA’S NOMINATION TO THE SCOTUS?
This is ridiculous. Why would Obama, who is making tens of millions of dollars doing nothing (Netflix and others), want a low paying job? He will make many millions giving speeches. He would have to recuse himself from the millions of dollars he has been promised by a whole host of entities.
Despite what we continue to hear about polling, it is patently obvious that the Biden campaign is floundering. Bigly. Ridiculous attempts to wrap himself in the media created aura of Obama is proof. Dare I say it, but “Obama” is all Joe has... left to his own record he is just as unimpressive now as a candidate as he was when he never got out of single digits before Obama.
Joe has a corruption problem. Quid pro Joe.
Joe has a distinct record of being wrong on many issues.
Joe cannot remember what state he is in. He is an old white man in a party of identity politics with a rabid youth movement.
Joe is a gaffe machine.
Joe has a problem with creepy handling of women and children. Gropey Joe.
Joe talked about his blond leg hairs being touched by African American children. Creepy Joe.
Joe said he would do the same thing the house democrats impeached the President for.... oops. How many retractions or corrections does that make?
Lunch bucket Joe promised he would destroy hundreds of thousands of good paying blue collar jobs in the name of climate change.
C’mon man!
Quid Pro Quo Joe, Scotus for his endorsement.
I heard Barry enjoys the services of older white men, Joe.
Maybe you’re just not offering what he wants.
Trump should run a campaign ad warning if Biden is elected he’d appoint Obama as a Supreme Court justice. That should scare the crap out of everybody.......well, except for Democrats!
Obama is too lazy to accept a position on the Supreme Court.
Obama is black
The pandering is to retrieve the post black vote
Biden is racist
that would motivate the Democratic base which something we do not want.
did he ever actually attend Harvard, I mean physically? I have read enough about his days at Columbia that I believe he never attended a single class or if he did it was sporadic at best.
Obama was spotted by the Democratic Party in HS and he was groomed for every position he has ever had.
