‘Shoot. Me. Now.’: Obama Wanted To Drop ‘Condescending’ Biden, New Book Says
WFB ^ | 31 Aug 2022 | Karl Salzman

Posted on 08/31/2022 6:01:33 PM PDT by Rummyfan

Barack Obama and Joe Biden had such a "fraught relationship" that Obama wanted to drop Biden from the 2012 Democratic ticket, according to excerpts from a new book obtained by the Daily Mail.

Obama considered replacing his vice president with Hillary Clinton, leaving Biden "distraught," according to The Long Alliance by Gabriel Debenedetti. Obama eventually stuck with Biden, though he was furious at his veep's decision to blurt out the administration's support for gay marriage, an announcement Obama wanted to make.

Biden's actions were "tantamount to betrayal" and "an example of Biden trying to position himself in front of the president," the book says, with staffers saying that "we can't trust [Biden] to say his lines."

For his part, Biden said he was "not going to grovel to this guy," referring to Obama. "My manhood is not negotiable."

While mainstream media said for years that Obama and Biden had a "bromance," with NBC News describing them as "lifelong friends," this is far from the first indication that the two men did not like each other.

Apparently he never checked the job description for vice president. Anyway, he's a lifelong politician - he has no manhood that's not for sale.

Obama realized that Hillary would stab him in the back at the first opportunity, whereas Biden was too stupid to do so.

Biden actually (somehow) got into the Seante on his own efforts. He wasn’t ushered into a Seante seat the way that the Democrat Party ushered in Barack.

I don’t believe this for a second. Biden polling must be really bad for the left to be trying to distance the Obama from him. If they are going to run Mooch they don’t want her anywhere near Biden, probably already sent out marching orders to the press to destroy all footage where the two appeared together.

Obama is running like a scalded dog as far away as he can from Biden.

Biden is Obama's and Valery Jarrett's creation but the monster (thinks) he has a mind of his own now.

The only qualification O’bunghole wanted in a VP was somebody who was dumberer than him so he would look smart in comparison while reading other peoples words on the teleprompter

Biden was chosen as VP because he had his crooked son Beau arrest Larry Sinclair as he was doing the big reveal ... that was the deal and old Joe got the spot ...

Newsflash: Joe Biden is a horse’s ass. He always has been. Someone tell Lindsey Graham.

Ooooooh. Two “Mr. Tough Guys”.

Obama is a pussy, and Biden is senile.

Cage match.

God, please rid us of these unholy pustules.

God appears to be leaving us to deal with them ourselves, and as such, we are destined for failure. I have next to zero faith in We The People anymore.

Exactly. Biden was (is) a loose cannon on deck. Hillary is duplicitous, obsessive over her “stolen glory”, and had a political machine and fund raising deeper and stronger than Obama’s.
