‘Shoot. Me. Now.’: Obama Wanted To Drop ‘Condescending’ Biden, New Book Says
WFB ^ | 31 Aug 2022 | Karl Salzman

Posted on 08/31/2022 6:01:33 PM PDT by Rummyfan

Barack Obama and Joe Biden had such a "fraught relationship" that Obama wanted to drop Biden from the 2012 Democratic ticket, according to excerpts from a new book obtained by the Daily Mail.

Obama considered replacing his vice president with Hillary Clinton, leaving Biden "distraught," according to The Long Alliance by Gabriel Debenedetti. Obama eventually stuck with Biden, though he was furious at his veep's decision to blurt out the administration's support for gay marriage, an announcement Obama wanted to make.

Biden's actions were "tantamount to betrayal" and "an example of Biden trying to position himself in front of the president," the book says, with staffers saying that "we can't trust [Biden] to say his lines."

For his part, Biden said he was "not going to grovel to this guy," referring to Obama. "My manhood is not negotiable."

While mainstream media said for years that Obama and Biden had a "bromance," with NBC News describing them as "lifelong friends," this is far from the first indication that the two men did not like each other.

I don’t see how anyone can love Joe Biden...I guess you have to be another piece of dirt politician not to see what he really is.

The thing about FJB is that he really thinks he’s great yet he’s never really done anything except shoot his mouth off while lying and stealing.

Valerie Jarrett is still living at the Obama's DC house.
She stays close by as she continues to run things for their interests.

Choosing Biden was the first indication that Obama had very poor judgment or discernment. Total failure.

I was totally, utterly shocked, in disbelief the day we learned that Biden was his pick. And now even more shocked, dismayed and utterly disappointed that the idiot is POTUS. ☹️

His “manhood”? The only biden manhood I’ve seen is his degenerate son recording his on a laptop, now all over the internet. Pedo Peter must be so proud that America can watch hunter yank his crank in living color…
