“You don’t have to do this, Joe, you really don’t.” – Barack Obama, 2019

Don’t let Biden “embarrass himself.” – Barack Obama, 2019

The Telegraph, 11/14/2017

Obama went as far as to refuse to endorse Joe Biden during the Democrat primary and it was even reported Obama talked up Elizabeth Warren to wealthy donors. Even Bernie Sanders endorsed Biden BEFORE Obama did.

This begs the question, what does Barack Obama know about Joe Biden and why has he been so hesitant to give his support to Biden?

Maybe comments like this from Biden are giving Obama pause:

Bottom Line: Throughout the primary, Obama made clear he thought Democrats could do better than Joe Biden. Obama’s reluctant endorsement, waiting until there are no longer any options left, along with Bernie's own campaign's reluctance to support Biden, shows that Democrats know Joe Biden is a weak candidate.
