It was obvious for 8 years that Obama tolerated his idiot sidekick. Now that Obama ran that gauntlet, Biden acts as if they were Frick and Frack. Meanwhile, the Obamas avoid questions about Biden because they don’t want to publicly bury him.
On Saturday, Michelle Obama refused to comment on the Joe Biden controversy (that he’s racist), instead choosing to reiterate the Obamas intentions not to endorse a candidate in the primary, and support the candidate who will face off against Donald Trump. “Barack and I are going to support whoever wins the primary, so … our primary focus is letting the primary process play out, because it’s very early,” she said. Barack Obama hasn’t spoken out either.
Of course you don’t have to endorse Joe Biden to come out and defend him, and the silence of both Barack and Michelle Obama in coming to Joe’s defense speaks volumes, especially since Biden takes any opportunity he can to name drop Obama, even to defend his own civil rights record. “It was the honor of a lifetime to serve with a man who was a great President, a historic figure, and most important to me — a friend,” Biden said on Saturday. “I was vetted by him and selected by him. I will take his judgment of my record, my character, and my ability to handle the job over anyone else’s.”
Well, where is Obama now? Obama could have nipped this in the bud a couple weeks ago, but has chosen not to. When a former president can’t even defend his vice president, that’s not a good look during a primary. Obama already kept Joe from running in 2016, and it would take virtually no effort for him to release a statement defending Joe’s record. So why won’t he?
Biden’s purpose on the ticket in 2008 was to compensate for Obama’s lack of experience, particulary with foreign policy. In 2019, Biden is useless as a liberal torchbearer. The only thing he brings to the table today is name recognition, and perhaps Obama nostalgia amongst Democrats. But, if Obama won’t even come to his defense, how long does he expect to coast on that nostalgia?
Mooch shtruggled to avoid a clear answer.
You have to be at rock bottom to be looked down on by these lowlife’s. Even the pathetic scum have a pecking order.
I’ve got to wonder how Joe managed that!
Obama had a token cracker. He needed Biden for the white vote.
If Our Joey could just have a few minutes alone with his favorite colored couple, I’m sure he could convince them that he’s the rightful heir to their lost legacy. “Come on man! This is a big frickin deal! I’m going to bring back the individual mandate and save Obamacare!” So much for extolling a clean, bright, articulate and ungrateful and forgetful race hustler who needed a white boy to balance a ticket. Joe’s headed back to Palookaville on the Amtrak.
Obamas aren’t exercising their own choice. They were specifically told by their handlers not to endorse anyone. No matter who they cast their endorsement on, bad luck will inevitably find that candidate. The Obamas endorsement is the kiss of death.
But it’s not all bad news. As soon as the field is whittled down to 1 candidate to fight the big bad Trump, Obamas will be forced to endorse and that will be the kiss of death. The only chance any of the democrats have is if the Obamas kill themselves. Biden can say whatever he wants, it won’t matter in the end.
To sell out your soul and not get enough change for a stick of gum…
I’m telling ya, that’s an epic faceplant, baby!
It’s also worth noting that Biden as a candidate will put the Obama years under the microscope. The media no longer has the credibility to cover for Obama. That’s the reason the media will sink the Biden ship. Thank you President Trump!
Just remember, Biden was the Democrats by committee vote to add “gravitas” to the Obama ticket like Bush did with Cheney.
That’s correct. You read “Biden” and “gravitas” in the same sentence.
And to think, Obama was livid at Biden for telling gays that “he was with them” in August 2012 and everything that has flowed from that has been the biggest part of his legacy.
No love for Old Joe though. Of course he and other Democrats like busing so much that he should appreciate the view from underneath.
Meanwhile, Big Mike complains that Buhrock made being President look so easy that the public thought “anyone could do it”. Because he’s half black you see?
The racial toxicity definitely happened on Biden’s watch and he helped.
They tolerated each other for political purposes.
Kennedy – Johnson.
Clinton – that guy.
Biden had to hold his nose, too.
(and keep his back against the wall)
izlamo delenda est …
Cue to scene at the next dnc Debate….
Joe sits at a Grand Piano playing the opening of Ebony and Ivory over
and over again while sweating profusely and nervously watching for
0webama to magically appear from the wings
Come on, maaan!
Still can’t see/hear “Barack” without laughing.
What a stupid name for President of the United States – still.
