Townhall:
Since the start of this election cycle, former Vice President Joe Biden has banked on his involvement in the Obama administration as a means of convincing voters he should be president this time around. In fact, Biden has continually said he is tight with Obama, that the two are close friends. But now it’s looking as though that’s not the case.
According to POLITICO, Biden had his eyes set on the White House in 2016 but Obama secretly wanted Hillary Clinton to be his successor. It was Clinton’s political style in particular that Obama gravitated towards. In a lot of ways, Biden was from another era of politics, one where politicians came to the table and negotiated.
“Biden doesn’t come from the wonky angle of leadership,” a senior Obama administration official explained. “It’s different than the last two Democratic presidents. Biden is from a different style. It’s an older style, of Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson of ‘Let’s meet, let’s negotiate, let’s talk, let’s have a deal.’”
But, according to others, Obama’s style was condescending. It was Biden who they wanted to negotiate with because he understands there are somethings that both side couldn’t agree on.
“Negotiating with President Obama was all about the fact that he felt that he knew the world better than you,” Eric Cantor, the Republican House Majority Leader from 2011 to 2014, told POLITICO. “And he felt that he thought about it so much, that he figured it all out, and no matter what conclusion you had come to with the same set of facts, his way was right.”

Obama has always been, and always will be, a self centered dick
Obama picked Biden to connect to the racist old school white dem establishment knowing Biden was a half wit and wouldn’t get in his way or take over his presidency. Little did he realize what a liability he would become when he lost the few active brain cells he had.
I can’t stand people that put themselves on a pedestal.
Yea horseshit. Paul Ryan was cutting back room deals with Democrats and John Boehner before him. The fix was in from day one.
Besides……obama’s sole purpose in choosing Biden was purely political.
So….eat shit obama.
Biden’s quintessential “black friend”.
It’s storybook, man.
Obama never liked Joe Biden?
B-but what about their friendship bracelets!? SOMEONE tell me this isn’t happening!
Good old Bama and Uncle Joe are chums! Just ask all of the mother fucking morons on tumblr, twitter, and facebook thru out their administration! This MUST be fake news! 🤔
JDHasty
Paul Ryan also tabled every pro 2A bill drafted by the Republicans. Another traitorous bitch.
“And he felt that he thought about it so much, that he figured it all out, and no matter what conclusion you had come to with the same set of facts, his way was right.”
Hey, Eric. It was never Obama’s way. It was ValJar’s way. Obama is no brighter than Biden. He’s facile, vain and glib, but no mastermind. Without his tellyprompter, mellifluous voice, melanin and ValJar, he would indeed have been bringing Bill Clinton coffee. Do you think Barky picked Biden for VP? Really?
And you lost your job because you didn’t take heed when ValJar said Barky was “ready to take power and rule on day one.” We knew the SCOAMF was a lightweight being maneuvered by a cabal, but you estabs just scoffed at us as you got played. So please forgive us if we laugh at you for assisting Townhall and Politico in their effort to help Barky distance himself from the stench of Biden. You probably believe the polls, too. Sad.
Great comment, Thirdtwin. Exactly right.
From day one, Barry was the democrat step and fetch it.
“now, Barry, do you know how to spell your name? No, no, not that name”…
Idiot,,,
Barry is one ugly human bean.
Joe was never Barry’s “friend”. Biden was simply assassination insurance.
You have to be as stupid as Biden to believe any of Biden’s stupid lies.
Biden’s role was “see, old white man in background won’t let homie get too cray, cray”.
Meanwhile, Plugs is playing pattycake in his own filth and molesting the neighborhood kids trading his office for personal favors to his scumlapping shitbag of a son.
