Joe Biden says he doesn’t need his former boss’s endorsement.
In an interview Monday with Politico, the former vice president said having had that post under President Barack Obama is as much help as he needs.
“No, because everyone knows I’m close with him,” he said. “I don’t need an Obama endorsement.”
He reiterated to Politico his previous claims that he has asked Mr. Obama not to endorse him and said that this stance would not change as the Democratic presidential-primary field narrows and an Obama endorsement could become a game-clincher.
Mr. Biden also said he wasn’t overly put out by a previous Politico report that Mr. Obama had said to others that his former No. 2 “really doesn’t have it” on connecting with voters.
“He may have said that. And if it’s true, and he said it, there’s truth to it,” Mr. Biden acknowledged before saying that it’s not fair to judge this campaign by his involvement in previous ones.

No, Joe you don’t need Soetoro’s blessing, you need a rubber room.
That's so wrong. Biden connects all the time with both hands, especially with younger voters and pre-voters. I think the real reason Obama is soft on Biden is he is hard on Boot Edge Edge.

English Translation: "After all that I did for the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean, the SOB is not going to endorse me."
For some reason, all the senior women at my church think Biden is the greatest. They think all the criticisms of him are silly.
Like Curly saying he doesn’t need Moe’s support....
I’m pretty sure that Obummer won’t endorse Biden because he’s saving his star power for his wife, when she does her swan dive into the nominating pool.
Michelle is lying when she says she has no interest in running.
Biden didn't upstage Obama and didn't scare voters (back then anyway). That was enough. It usually is with vice presidents.
