If you're a Democrat running for president, you've got one guy who knows an awful lot about winning the White House — Barack Obama.
So that raises the question: Where's Obama?
There are now fewer than three weeks to go before Election Day, and a handful of states — as usual — will decide the victor on Nov. 3 (or maybe weeks later). But Obama isn't in Wisconsin or Michigan or Pennsylvania or Ohio or Florida, stumping for his former vice president Joe Biden.
His absence is so conspicuous that Team Biden felt the need to address the issue on Tuesday.
"President Obama plans to hit the trail soon, in addition to all the other activities he's undertaken all year in support of electing VP Biden — as he's said, we all have to do everything we can to win on November 3," an aide to the former president told ABC News.
when Biden announced he would be running for the Democratic presidential nomination, Obama issued a statement through spokeswoman Katie Hill.
"President Obama has long said that selecting Joe Biden as his running mate in 2008 was one of the best decisions he ever made," the statement said. "He relied on the Vice President's knowledge, insight, and judgment throughout both campaigns and the entire presidency. The two forged a special bond over the last 10 years and remain close today."
But the statement was notably lacking a formal endorsement.
All that has led to questions as to whether Obama really wants Biden to win the White House. "Sleepy Joe," as Trump likes to call Biden, certainly hopes the charismatic Obama will take to the road to help him, but the 44th president hasn't been all that helpful so far, so only time will tell if he does.

He knows Biden will lose..and wants no part of it..
He’s done a TV ad for Hiden. I saw it yesterday. Obama probably doesn’t want to hit the campaign trial and upstage basement Joe.
That, and he’s lazy.
Though I saw an article just yesterday they were bringing out the “big gun” to help slo’ jo out.
“...charismatic Obama”
Snort! One man’s charisma is another man’s boorish, loutish, arrogant, and rude behavior.
I can only hope he’s now hiring lawyers and getting measured for an orange jumpsuit.
The Kenyan from Indonesia only cares about himself.
A wheelock with a damp fuse.
It says he’s gonna hit the trail soon.
By the time he hits it, the hike will be over :)
Your answer makes the most sense.
He’s got a huge ego and is a narcissist and doesn’t want to be attached to a brutal loss.
Trump should make Obama an offer he can’t refuse.
for his support
He’s got too many Republicans protecting him to have anything to worry about.
0bama’s missing? Hell, Gropin’ Joe is missing! He who gave us “Lid Day” for our Newspeak vocabulary is nowhere to be seen.
I’m guessing Obama knows that a Biden win would put far-lefties, like REALLY far-lefties in, and there would be a snapback so bad it would dwarf the 2010 Tea Party.
Better to go another 4 years an lull them into complacency.
Probably better the criminal coup leader stays the hell out of it.
I would be so ashamed to have to call myself a member of the Democratic party. In fact I wouldn’t admit it to anyone...and knowing me I’d become a recluse alcoholic... or something equally as depressing.
