I think Obama is trying to distanced himself from being exposed as Joe's puppeteer by leaking fake news saying he wants Joe out. If Obama really wanted Joe out it would take one phone call to make it happen - without Obama, there is no Joe to begin with. I dunno - I still don't 'get' why the various factions are acting this way.
