Snubbed by Obama? Joe Biden says White House ‘residence’ was unseen by him – until he moved in
Fox News ^ | 2/17/2021 | Dom Calicchio

The disclosure suggests Barack Obama never invited Biden into the private area of the White House..

President Joe Biden served in the U.S. Senate for more than 30 years, and then served eight years as Barack Obama’s vice president. But until he moved in last month, he said Tuesday night, he’d never been inside the presidential "residence" area of the White House.

Biden made the disclosure during a town hall event in Milwaukee,

...

I had been in the Oval Office a hundred times as vice president -- more than that -- every morning for the initial meetings but I had never been up in the residence," Biden said.

Until becoming president, Biden said, he also hadn’t had the experience of having the White House staff fully available to address his every need.

...

Biden’s disclosure suggested that no president – whether Barack Obama or any other – had ever invited him into the area where the nation's chief executive shares private time with his family.

It also appeared to add support to claims that Biden’s relationship with Obama, his former boss, wasn’t as close as both men have always publicly portrayed it to be.

...

Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f--- things up," Obama reportedly once said privately about Biden, Politico reported last August.

Obama also withheld his endorsement of Biden for president until last April, after his former vice president had already been campaigning for months.

...

Biden ... "I get up in the morning, I look at Jill, and say, ‘Where the hell are we?’"

Assuming Biden isn’t lying because he (mistakenly) thinks this is an endearing anecdote which makes him more like the common man - a BIG presumption - this is really quite remarkable. Biden worked for Obama for EIGHT years but never once visited with Obama in his home....located in the same building Biden’s office was located?

I’m more inclined to believe that Biden was just bullsh1tting.

Apparently Bill Clinton never thought Senator Biden was worth inviting home either, for eight long years. Unlike his squalid friends from Hollywood despoiling the Lincoln Bedroom.

That’s absolutely true. I’m not sure what’s worse:

A) He’s lying

B) Obama didn’t think enough of him to invite him

C) His cognitive decline is so bad, he forget.

I believe his mental condition includes forgetfulness, disorientation, and such.

i remember reading the Reagans never had the Bushes over to socialize, so maybe it’s true.

I am sure he has been doing that for quite a while now.

I know I’ve seen photos of the Bushes and Reagans together in the WH residence. So, I quickly looked at ReaganLibrary.gov and found this

https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/archives/audiovisual/white-house-photo-collection-galleries/private-events

..the photo is a little more than half-way down the page and is titled...

“C23305-12, President Reagan, Nancy Reagan, Vice President George Bush and Barbara Bush watching television during a private dinner in the Residence. 07/23/1984.”

I’d post the photo, but I can never get it to work for some reason.

I’m pretty sure they had the Bushes at their ranch. I’m not sure if Reagan ever visited Kennebunkport.
