"It will take a lot to go wrong for Biden to lose"

Obama never said that, but you just did!

Barack Obama publicly endorsed presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden — but has privately expressed grave concerns about his former veep’s 2020 White House run, a report said.

“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up,” the former president told an unnamed Democrat, who told Politico about the conversation— reportedly reflective of a strained history between the two.

Former Obama Administration officials painted the relationship as warm and genuinely close — but fraught with tension over the gap between Biden’s old-school backslapping and Obama’s hyper-prepared wonkiness, the outlet reported.

“You could certainly see technocratic eye-rolling at times,” according to former White House communications director Jen Psaki, who recalled other aides chortling at Biden’s frequent gaffes and lack of discipline.

That attitude contributed to Obama’s decision to back Hillary Clinton for the party’s 2016 nomination over Biden.

“The president was not encouraging,” Biden recalled in his 2017 memoir.

When Biden threw his hat in the 2020 presidential mix last year, Obama kept his distance for months — and continued to talk him down behind the scenes.

@SandWitch He did say it.

@Gusman
I disagree. Obama never said that. Where's the link for that Gus?

@ron122
I agree with SandWitch. Obama did not say that.

The NY Post is the glossy newsstand version of the National Enquirer, that latter of who's Editor David Pecker uses his tabloid to fully endorse Donald J. Trump for President.

If you read the NY Post, then one would also have to assume that you also read the National Enquirer because both tabloids are of the same ilk.
