Report: Obama Insiders Say Obama Doesn’t Think Joe Biden Has ‘It’

An in-depth post-presidency look at Barack Obama was published on Politico this week and it is not going to do the campaign of Joe Biden any favors.

According to the report, while discussing the presidential campaign and what it takes to actually win in Iowa, Obama stated, “You know who really doesn’t have it? Joe Biden.”

The “it” Obama was referring to is a special connection to the voters that will draw in their support and lockdown those vital early states.

Crushing Blow

Joe Biden has attached himself to Barack Obama like a puppy to its new owner.

Rather than running strictly on his own merits, he is latching onto the idea of carrying on Obama’s legacy.

For many Americans, though, that is not necessarily what they want from a new president.

Biden, though, has no other choice, because he is a career politician who many consider having had an average career at best.

He ran twice before on his own merits and failed miserably.

Obama added him to the ticket to lure in older white voters he would not have drawn in otherwise.

It was just the edge Obama needed to win, something Biden has little chance of doing.

No Endorsement Yet

The fact that Barack Obama is sitting on the sidelines right now says an awful lot.

Both Obamas have been quoted as saying they are going to let the primary play out, then endorse whoever is the winner, but liberal Americans want to know who Obama wants to be the candidate.

The silence from both he and Michelle is being perceived as them not really liking any of the candidates, including Joe Biden.

Insiders have been quoted before saying that Obama merely tolerated Biden because he had to, not because he liked him.

When Biden told Obama he was going to run for president, Obama reportedly told him, “You don’t have to do this, Joe, you really don’t.”

Biden has also been shredded by former Obama strategist David Axelrod, who stated that Biden was an unsteady candidate and pointed to the flip-flopping he was doing on key issues, such as abortion.

In essence, Joe Biden has become the weak man that Donald Trump has portrayed him to be.

The problems with Hunter Biden are also now taking a toll, with yet another report about Hunter doing crack in a strip club in D.C. blowing up overnight (this was an older incident that allegedly occurred in 2018).

Perhaps that would also explain how he ended up getting a woman 20 years his junior pregnant, something that was confirmed earlier this month when a DNA test confirmed Hunter Biden is the father of an Arkansas woman’s child.

While Joe Biden still has a lead nationally, his support in battleground states is not nearly as strong and several polls have him outright losing the opening states of the primary election.

If that happens, you better believe Joe will be desperate and literally begging Obama to step in and help him out.

This is yet another black mark on a Biden campaign that is very slowly falling apart and even if Biden wins the primary, it seems very likely he will soon be a three-time loser when it comes to running for president.

Correction, 11/27/19, 8:16 p.m. Obama reportedly said Biden did not have “it” with Iowa voters, not all voters. Story has been updated to reflect that change.
