Obama calls Biden’s catastrophic debate performance ‘bad,’ urges voters to back prez as he faces calls to step down
NY Post ^ | June 28, 2024 | By Olivia Land

Former President Barack Obama admitted that Joe Biden’s debate performance Thursday night was “bad” — but still urged voters to back his former veep over Donald Trump.

“Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know,” Obama, 62, wrote on X Friday afternoon.

“But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself,” Obama insisted.

“Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit.

“Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November.”

When Americans want any crap from Obeyme, they’ll unscrew his head and dip it out.

You know, that tweet may not be interpreted the way he thinks it might.

That was a lot more than a bad debate. Nobody is going to remember much about what was said. It was what was seen that is going to linger.

Something we've noted on this forum for some months now is coming into play. It's that there is no way to move Dementia Joe out without either his cooperation or that of at least 1/3 of the Republicans in the Senate and House. He has enough delegates to take the nomination now unless the Dems make some really radical changes in their party rules. Yes, the Rules Committee meets before the convention but its rulings are supposed to apply to the next convention, not the one at hand. Unless they change that too. Which action might just break the party in two.

Obama is just “going through the motions” as an ex democrat President who has to back his former VP.

He knows Biden is finished, but he has to maintain team camaraderie for optics.

Would you IF you were her?

She is thinking that Joe just may drop dead in the next few months. Or become SO incoherent that they HAVE to invoke the 25th amendment. Then whether anyone likes it or not, we get Kamala the very first female POTUS. Then they have no choice other than to run with her for reelection.

Even IF she only serves for a month or a few days she is still sitting in the cat bird seat. Even if she looses, she still becomes a HISTORIC figure. The first woman POTUS.

IF that happens, can you imagine how pissed off Hillary we be?

They are going wall to wall with lying the Trump narrative. It is relentless. Traitor Joe lies his ass off but not a word about that.

Would Biden choose to step aside?.... Perhaps more crucially, would Jill Biden encourage him to do so?

All signs point to no..... Jill is the one who encouraged him to run in the first place when he didn't want to. She's not going to throw in all the perks and end up taking care of Joe...not when He’s being taken care of by many many aides and the best medical help in the world.

Jill Biden is actually married to power not to Joe Biden.

Obama wants a 4th term he fears Trump more than Biden does.

Interesting. My take on this is that Obama IS the one running things for Biden behind the scenes. And Obama knows that won’t be the case with anyone else.

Yes but if biden keeps going downhill, bathhouse barry won’t be able to pull off the facade anymore. Baraq could call in a favor with Hillary.

Isn't that astonishing? So, truth-telling is the REAL issue. But not even a courtesy note of a single one of Biden's whoppers.

they have no choice, even if Joe is in a coma they are going to run with him because they cant win without Pennsylvania and Pedo Joe is the only one on their side that could “maybe” win it (even though he is down 3 there in polls the whole year)

Any other leftist would lose by 10+ there. This is the reason Joe constantly talks about growing up in Scranton. It is all pandering BS.

Of course, Obama wants Biden to stay as president. Obama controls Biden and is actually running the country now. Obama fears having Harris as president because she is an egotistical idiot who would do it her own (idiotic) way and ignore Obama. Obama wants no one but Biden, so he can have a fourth term.
