    Ooof...thats got to sting.

    For years rumors have swirled that Obama never really thought highly of Joe Biden.

    Left-leaning Politico points out some of the inconvenient history between the two, and states that Biden was an anachronism, perhaps the worst of the politicians from the last century.

    In light of Biden's current campaign, where he hides in basements, refuses to take questions, and ignores the media that makes more sense.

    There is also the fact that Biden may very well lose this election, and Obama does not wish to be associated with a loser.

    Biden has tried to paint himself as the best friend of Obama, even tweeting out that he had made a friendship bracelet to celebrate their relationship...

    Biden is problem Obama can't say he inherited. Remember when we all said that Biden was Obama's assassination/impeachment insurance?

    So What?

    Has Obama endorsed Trump?

    I didn't think so.

    Another Trump "narrative" goes up flames.

    Back to the drawing board.

    Anyone else notice most of AJ's replies start with "so"?

    It’s amazing the number of Obama posts lately — must mean the election is closer and some are desperate

    4 years later and he still live in the heads of so many

    Obama picked Biden as his VP to balance out the ticket with an old white guy. I'm sure Barack has no more use for him as a human being.

    So Biden is a multiple time loser in Presidential elections.

    Do your self and read the politico piece, Biden was off his rocker and clearly didn't understand what was happening around him-and this was before his obvious cognitive decline.

    Biden telling people they aren't black, or are junkies-all of it makes more sense once you see what Biden is all about.

    Obama was the democrats last success story. Since then its been all fail for the party.

    While there is no doubt nostalgia among some, for the Obama years-I think part of it is the dems haven't really won much since, and they are tired of losing.

    Think of what it says that Obama endorsed Hillary over Biden.

    People forget that Biden got something like 1 percent of the vote during the last democrat primaries.

    And its even sadder in context today-the existing pool of democrat candidates were so bad, that "cool" Biden was going to step in and save the race-how's that going?

    Evidently so. Obama does not want to be drug down with Biden.

    sniff sniff sniff

    I smell Trump campaign desperation

    Truth is Joe could be a blithering idiot drooling in a nursing home and he would STILL be better than a narcissistic idiotic self obsessed poster child for anger management

    It is no surprise that Barak thinks as he does about Joe yet that doesn't mean he won't support him running for office.

    I see so left leaning Politico is now a proxy of the Trump campaign.

    He kind of has to, because Joe is a democrat and its expected of Obama.

    But the real story here is that Obama knows Biden is a loser.

    This story was probably floated to allow Obama to save face after Biden's defeat.

    The link in your OP is not to Politico but “zero hedge” which gets a bare “somewhat better than gatewaypundit https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/zero-hedge/

    So that tells me you didn't read before commenting. Not anyone else's fault.

    Zero hedge is citing and quoting Politico.

    Trump isn't the threat topic, why the digression?

    Also lol at the Bush family.

    I didn't realize a Bush was Trump's VP pick.

    Why do you think Obama said what he did?
