Obama Tried to Warn Us: ‘Don’t Underestimate Joe’s Ability to F— Things Up’Former POTUS urged Biden not to run, was concerned he would 'embarrass himself'
August 26, 2021
Former president Barack Obama is a pathological narcissist who only cares about hanging out with celebrities and being extravagantly wealthy, regardless of the death and destruction it causes. Nevertheless, he tried to stop Joe Biden from becoming president and made an effort to warn us about his dangerous incompetence.
"Don't underestimate Joe's ability to **** things up," Obama told a fellow Democrat during the 2020 presidential primary. The former president disparaged his running mate again during a conversation with a Democratic candidate: "And you know who really doesn't have it?" Obama said. "Joe Biden."
Before that, Obama did his best to persuade Biden not to run. "You don't have to do this, Joe, you really don’t," he reportedly told Biden in 2019. According to journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, authors of Lucky: How Joe Biden Barely Won the Presidency, Obama "worried that his former vice president would embarrass himself on the campaign trail and that the people around him would not be able to prevent a belly-flop."
Obama had urged Biden not to run for president in 2016 and told an adviser that he didn't think Biden was a viable candidate.
