    “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f--k things up,” one Democrat who spoke to the former president recalled him saying.

    Despite the best-friend bond Joe Biden touts with former President Obama, tensions have lingered between the two statesmen over their vastly different governing styles, according to a Politico report.me

    To start, a number of anonymously sourced quotes from Obama leaked out throughout the 2020 Biden campaign where the former president allegedly expressed doubts about his former running mates’ fitness for office.

    “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f--k things up,” one Democrat who spoke to the former president recalled him saying.

    When lamenting his own diminishing relationship with the current Democratic electorate, particularly in Iowa, Obama reportedly told one 2020 candidate: “And you know who really doesn’t have it? Joe Biden.”

    This is really something, is not it? I know you fella PF Democrats saying, whomever it takes to unseat President Trump, but should not Obama be in the same boat and at least publicly support great Joe?

    Tis is embarrassing :hiding:

    Perhaps Barry is worried Biden is going to raise his taxes now that he is in the millionaires and billionaires club.

    It really is a mastery - if Obama is of such low opinion of Biden, it also reflects poorly on himself, too - after all, Joe was his VP for 8 years...

    It is nothing new for a President to have no respect for a VP. Take Kennedy and JFK for example.

    Did you really think all people from India are African Americans. Kamala is Indian. Just because she has brown skin, doesn't make her black.

    Biden has really made some bizarre political choices that lead me to believe he either doesn't want to win or doesn't know what the hell he is doing. He might very well be one of the people in the Biden enthusiasm gap.

    There was a national discussion if Obama’ black enough for the job, and we’re already having one about Kamala.

    You Democrats, you :frustrated:

    I would swear I heard someone criticize her during the primary that she was lightening her complexion to appear less black, not that it matters one way or the other.

    She doesn't seem to add anything to the campaign. If I were on the further spectrum of the left wing like those Bernie Bros., I probably would be incensed about her being the pick instead of someone with actual progressive street cred.

    No I mean he should have picked someone who hadn't concealed evidence of a man's innocence, someone who shouldn't have supported the death penalty except when it was convenient not to, and someone who didn't target blacks as a prosecutor. Age and race have nothing to do with her horrible record as a prosecutor. It is why she went nowhere during the primaries and why she will add nothing to the ticket.
