Obama Allies Casually (and Repeatedly) Slam Biden in POLITICO Piece
Posted at 6:00 am on August 18, 2020 by Joe Cunningham
Barack Obama is very careful about some things. He makes sure his political allies know that his legacy has to be protected. As a result, the bits of information we get about the Obamas and their post-White House adventures are limited and usually cast in a very respectable-elder-statesman fashion.
People who worked for the former president do not go out and create any sort of drama related to what happened while they were in power. They defend him and his accomplishments, and they attack anyone who questions it — and their behavior is often endorsed by friendly reporters and pundits throughout the media.
So, when a POLITICO Magazine piece comes along and attacks his Vice President, Joe Biden, as incompetent and a joke, and the quotes are all coming from former Obama staff and aides, you know that this is deliberate. There is a reason this piece and these attacks see the light of day: Because Obama wants them to.
As my colleague Mike Miller put it, the team-up of Biden and Obama in 2008 was clearly a case of “strange bedfellows,†and it becomes clear that Obama wasn’t so much a fan of Biden as he needed someone who would be both an experienced Washington veteran and a sycophant. Based on how the relationship worked out, it’s clear he couldn’t have made a better choice.
