Nevertheless, he tried to stop Joe Biden from becoming president and made an effort to warn us about his dangerous incompetence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t underestimate Joe&#8217;s ability to fuck things up,&#8221; Obama <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/magazine\/2020\/08\/14\/obama-biden-relationship-393570\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> a fellow Democrat during the 2020 presidential primary. The former president disparaged his running mate again during a conversation with a Democratic candidate: &#8220;And you know who really doesn&#8217;t have it?&#8221; Obama <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/magazine\/2019\/11\/26\/barack-obama-2020-democrats-candidates-biden-073025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. &#8220;Joe Biden.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before that, Obama did his best to persuade Biden not to run. &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to do this, Joe, you really don\u2019t,&#8221; he reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/08\/16\/us\/politics\/biden-obama-history.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> Biden in 2019. According to journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, authors of<\/p>\n<p>Obama had urged Biden not to run for president in 2016 and told an adviser that he didn&#8217;t think Biden was a viable candidate. &#8220;It had stung Biden badly in 2015 when Obama made clear his preference for Hillary Clinton,&#8221; Allen and Parnes wrote. &#8220;Adding insult to injury, Obama&#8217;s advisers told Biden aides back then that they didn&#8217;t think he could beat Clinton. They pressured him to get out of the way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Though he ultimately decided not to challenge Clinton in 2016, Biden ignored Obama&#8217;s advice by jumping into the 2020 primary. The rest is history.<\/p>\n<p>After Biden launched his campaign, Obama declined to offer even a token level of support for his former vice president.\u00a0After winning the South Carolina primary in March 2020, Biden reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/magazine\/2020\/08\/14\/obama-biden-relationship-393570\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> aides that Obama hadn&#8217;t &#8220;lifted a finger&#8221; to help him. Despite being multimillionaires, neither Obama nor his wife, Michelle, <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/elections\/obama-biden-donation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">donated<\/a> a single dollar to Biden&#8217;s campaign, even during the general election.<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, Obama&#8217;s political judgment is terrible. He thought Hillary was a formidable candidate in 2016. (She wasn&#8217;t.) In 2020, he was <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/obama-beto-love\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly<\/a> &#8220;enamored&#8221; with former representative Beto O&#8217;Rourke (D., Texas), who <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/born-to-lose-beto-drops-out-of-2020-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dropped out<\/a> of the race three months before the Iowa caucuses. But he was right about Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Obama tried to warn us. The American people underestimated Biden&#8217;s ability to fuck things up, and now we&#8217;re paying the price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics Former POTUS urged Biden not to run, was concerned he would &#8217;embarrass himself&#8217;  Getty  Andrew Stiles \u2022 August 26, 2021 2:29 pm &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-687072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=687072"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687072\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=687072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=687072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=687072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
