Looking for Obama's hidden hand in candidates coalescing around Biden

WASHINGTON — As Democrats begin to coalesce around Joe Biden as the moderate alternative to Bernie Sanders, there appears to be a quiet hand behind the rapid movement: former President Barack Obama.

Obama spoke with his former vice president after he handily won the South Carolina primary on Saturday, and with Pete Buttigieg on Sunday when he dropped out of the Democratic race, according to people familiar with the calls.

Buttigieg will travel from South Bend, Indiana to Dallas Monday and endorse Biden, multiple people familiar with the plan tell NBC News

People close to Obama said the former president has been keeping close tabs on the race. They said the signal has been sent in the past 36 hours that he sees Biden as the candidate to back, and they don’t need Obama to say it publicly or privately.

“He's not going to get involved in endorsing anyone for this nomination,” Biden told NBC’s Mike Memoli on Monday. “But I think he will make sure that, you know, the party is united at the end of the day, and as I will, whether I win or not.”

One Democratic aide said on Monday that “pressure is mounting” on Mike Bloomberg from the moderate wing of the Democratic Party, who want him to stand down from competing in Super Tuesday contests. This person described the Bloomberg campaign as fielding a lot of “incoming” from Democrats.

It’s Hillary.

Just ask yourself, “Who benefits?”

Having Biden as the nominee doesn’t affect Obama’s tee time a bit.

So how does Hillary fit in to this scenario? We all know there is real friction between the Obamas and Clintons. Are they coordinating a plan together, or are they both looking to push the other out the door and be the sole kingmakers and powerbrokers of the RAT Party?

Buttigieg will travel from South Bend, Indiana to Dallas Monday and endorse Biden...

Flying to Dallas to say that he's supporting Biden? What kind of carbon footprint for something that could have been done in a simple email or phone call? Don't they know we're in the middle of global cooling - global warming - climate change - climate catastrophe well, whatever it is but we're all going to drown from oceans rising or get sunburned or something.

“He's not going to get involved in endorsing anyone for this nomination,”

No, but he's not averse to installing his puppet.

Funny how click-bait ads for Clueless Joe have suddenly appeared on some of the sites I frequent. You’d think it was a strategy or something.

Biden has agreed to take Moochie as VP, and step down after 2 years. Zero snubs Hillarity for first woman Prez.

“But I think he will make sure that, you know, the party is united at the end of the day, and as I will, whether I win or not.”

"Which means attacking and slandering and destroying those who disagree with us, within the Democrat Party and outside of it. Uniting people means subjugating them to our will! Anyone else must be eliminated."

I thought Soetoro was “hiding his hand” up in Mayor Pete’s business.

Biden is perfect for the Deep state since it would let them pick the next president.
Joe is way past sell by date and will step down, maybe in first term. So Soros gets a free pick and does want a Marxist, just not That Marxist, Bernie. Look for a Woke but cool and calm vp choice who will be tasked with moving to the next phase of Fundamentally Transform This Country.

See Greece, California, France and Belgium all wrapped into one. Maybe Mitt, or a Strong,progressive Woman of Color.
