SPICY: New book details why ex-White House staff thought Obama ‘was a pr*ck’
July 5, 2025 | Vivek Saxena
Former President Joe Biden’s aides thought fellow former President Barack Obama “was a pr*ck” because of the way he treated their boss, according to a new book by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf.
“There was a lot of overlap among aides to Obama and Biden, but to Biden loyalists, Obama was a pr*ck,” the book reads, according to a copy reviewed by The Guardian.
“They thought he and his inner circle had constantly disrespected and mistreated Biden, despite his loyal service as vice president,” the book continues.
The book, “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,” documents one example of this “pr*ck” behavior that occurred shortly after Biden assumed office in 2021.
“They [the aides] felt vindicated when for the first time during Biden’s presidency, Obama publicly returned to the White House and began by saying ‘Thank you, Vice President Biden,’” the book reads.
“Obama was quick to claim he was joking, but to Biden’s stalwarts it was merely the latest example of Obama’s arrogance,” it continues.
