Scrambling to salvage his presidential campaign, Joe Biden escalated his criticism of Pete Buttigieg on Saturday, mocking Buttigiegs experience as a small city mayor and cutting down the comparisons Buttigieg has drawn to the last Democratic president, declaring: This guys not a Barack Obama.
Bidens biting attacks on Buttigiegs relatively thin resume mark a new, more aggressive attempt to slow the momentum of the youngest candidate in the Democratic field. The 38-year-old emerged from Iowa in an effective tie with Sen. Bernie Sanders, but faces questions about whether his eight years as mayor of South Bend, Indiana a city of about 100,000 people prepared him for the presidency.
I do not believe were a party at risk if Im the nominee, Biden told voters in Manchester. I do believe were a party at risk if we nominate someone who has never held a higher office than the mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
Buttigieg also faced criticism from Sanders, who said he had billionaires by the dozens contributing to his campaign.

He may not be him but he probably did him.
Obama had a grand total of 2 yrs senate experience before he ran for President.
Even in that 2 yrs Obama was absent from Senate most of the time and out there at the DC circuit party.
I find it funny how Biden keeps referencing Obama but Obama has yet to campaign for him or endorse him.
Pete is an open homosexual, so yes, in this aspect, he isn’t like Obama.
The Kenyan from Indonesia picked Joe precisely because NOBODY wanted to see Joe in the Oval Office.
Given Biden’s history of plagiarism, I am surprised he didn’t say, “I served with Barack Obama. I know Barack Obama. Barack Obama is a friend of mine. Pete Buttigieg is no Barack Obama.”
[Well, he in not married to Sasquatch.]
The rule of opposites—Biden is really saying they are alike, that Obama is a homosexual....
“I know BO...you’re no BO”
even THAT is plagiarized
Because Obama's SuperPACs are lining up behind Butt. So Biden either plays the Obama card NOW or he can tell the old folk's home how he was a 'toothless wonder' in 2020 when people had forgotten how bad a plagiarist he was.
Dudes
Just got back from a full day in eastern NH.
Freelance journalism.
Biden shook my hand at this event.
Photos of Amy
Yang. Is a rock star. Met Tulsi.
Going up on youtube later today
Plenty of Trumpsters at these events
Don’t tase me, dudes!
Except Obama didn't need the eye of the needle, because he had a larger (albeit inch-deep) constituency than Butt.
What's the equivalent of "racist" for hating a f@g? "Homophobe"? So Obama's SuperPACs have this mad dream of calling everyone homophobes to force them in line behind this f@g? Are you kidding? That word doesn't have any impact because it doesn't have any history. F Stonewall, F 'em all.
And if Biden doesn't make that direct argument, and make that connection that these Obama SuperPACs are outright delusional on the same level as Sander's Socialism, then he's toast. It's a big job and he's not up to the task.
I think you guys are missing the point. The question is, why is Joe Biden HELPING Pete by pointing out he’s no Obama?
Meant as a joke? Biden and Buttigieg are fighting for the votes of Democrats who voted for Obama twice and still respect him. Even in the general election, being associated with him won't be a negative with half the country.
But of course, the point seems to be making stupid and crude comments about what Buggatich does in the bedroom, and the commenters are right on target with that.
Of course it’s a joke. But then again, to the other half of the country, it’s spot on.
Man, if Biden kisses Obama’s ass any more, I am going to tstart to think HE is gay as well!
I don’t see Biden as the preferred candidate of the DNC.
In 2004 I had a dream that I shook John Kerry’s hand and congratulated him on winning his party’s nomination, then we looked at each other akwardly, it was in the Au Bon Pan in the Merchandise Mart. We were of a height in the dream, even though he’s actually way taller than I am.
Polls show that something like 40% of Yang’s support aren’t democrats and betting sites, favoring Trump at this point, give him the best odds for November. 12K Free money would be hard to run against. I heard he was boring as hell in the debate though, and is kinda Herman Caining it (999!) with his 12K thing.
I can’t wait to see your video. Did Tulsi trigger tumescence?
Buttplug is frequently compared to Obama.
Part if has to do with him trying to mimic Obama’s speaking style.
Well that could explain why ill-informed people are supporting Buttigieg just as they did Obama.
