“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f--k things up,” one Democrat who spoke to the former president recalled him saying
Despite the best-friend bond Joe Biden touts with former President Obama, tensions have lingered between the two statesmen over their vastly different governing styles, according to a Politico report.
To start, a number of anonymously sourced quotes from Obama leaked out throughout the 2020 Biden campaign where the former president allegedly expressed doubts about his former running mates’ fitness for office.
“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f--k things up,” one Democrat who spoke to the former president recalled him saying.
When lamenting his own diminishing relationship with the current Democratic electorate, particularly in Iowa, Obama reportedly told one 2020 candidate: “And you know who really doesn’t have it? Joe Biden.”
Some Biden aides pointed out that, when Obama’s endorsement of Biden in 2020 finally did arrive, it didn’t have nearly the energy of his endorsement of Hillary Clinton in 2016.
“I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office,” Obama said of Clinton in 2016 in an endorsement video. “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,” Obama said in Biden’s endorsement video.

Some Biden aides pointed out that, when Obama’s endorsement of Biden in 2020 finally did arrive, it didn’t have nearly the energy of his endorsement of Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Obama’s endorsement was done at a point where Joe was the last man standing, and was the presumptive nominee.
It’s a no brainer and also a non issue, to endorse a presidential candidate after he’s already clinched the nomination.
Obama’s endorsement might have helped Joe earlier in the primary process. We’ll never know, but we also know it had no effect because Obama waited until the nomination was decided to render than endorsement.
Why don’t they call them politicians instead of statesmen?
Why does former Pres. Obama even need a camp?
Last year, when Joe Biden started ‘running for office’, almost none of the general public thought he would still be in the race at this point. I know I didn’t expect it.
The Dems have to be kicking themselves, wondering:
“How did we ever let this happen?? We are left propping up a senile, grouchy, gropey Alheimers patient as the Standard Bearer of The Party!!.”
Last December, even the Dems were saying:”No way would Joe last through the primaries. He’ll be a non-factor before Valentines Day! Joe who?”
I believe that the Obama endorsement of Biden was tacit notification that the DNC had determined that none of the primary candidates could beat Donald Trump.
Rather than go to costly battle campaign mode they ceded the nomination to the known loser Joe Biden.
The effort rather than the news will be directed to holding the House and hoping to win the Senate.
Biden and the Presidency have been effectively written off.
Fake News. There is zero credibility in anyone that refers to either Biden or Obama as statesmen. This is just a bunch of worthless opinions from the left being pushed by Fox News. They really suck lately.
We’re still not sure Biden will be the nominee. Does anyone else find that comical?
I swear this is like the adult party running against the “kid running for high school class president” party
HOW DOES OBOZO FILE FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITH HIS PHONY CONNECTICUT SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER??????????THE NUMBER REPORTEDLY BELONGED TO A MAN THAT DIED IN THE EARLY 1900S.
Bothered you too, huh? It’s an agenda being pushed my worthless Fox News. Biden is a statesman. Trump is out of control. They push one opinion in articles about Biden and the other in articles about Trump.
I never thought he’d go all the way.
I noticed that too.
Social Security wasn't established until 1935.
What a howler!
