or obama. so i knew that i wanted i needed to build that trust him. but a couple of weeks into working for him, i was in the oval office and. i was giving an update on reporters and what they were asking about. he said, pull up a chair. it's like, okay, pull up chair in the oval office. and i said to him, i know this isn't something you should say to president, which, by the way, once that comes out of your where we go from here. so i think i should, but i said, i feel like i've known you for a long time because has this level of kind of empathy, but also kind of a down to earth ness, many moments that is disarming in a different way than obama or obama. so normal. they're very, very different but and that's the part of him that i think people always see. what was the differences between for the two men? oh, my god. oscar and felix? i don't know this. we call them that. you know, i the thing of the perception this goes to kind of our early meetings with him is the perception of president obama

obama - president, biden - vice president.a did not support the idea of ​​nominating biden for... the post of head of the white house, on the one hand, because he knew his worth very well, on the other hand, apparently, because he also did not want to squander his own inheritance in this way, but obama , along with bill clinton, along with nancy pilosi and chuck schumer, who leads the senate democratic majority, is among the elite of the democratic party is among the people who can influence ... biden does not run for a second term, and about the press has recently begun to write about this again, they say, there is some kind of unspoken conspiracy among these people who are waiting for biden to speak at the debate against trump on june 27, and depending on the outcome of these debates, they will somehow try to determine the future fate of the dim party’s candidacy in... this presidential election, the debate on cnn will be biden's last chance to convince voters that he's qualified for the job, they deliberately decided to hol

to barack obama, and michelle obama.and they w her and the president at the first couple of years of the obama administration saying, you know, we really want to the situation room. it's a complete fire trap. and it was and it's antics faded and the technology was not up to the 21st century. and they kept resisting and saying no and saying no. y, there was a meeting in the situation room where t said listen, the first black president, united states is not going to leave the oval office. there is no way. and they ended then in the renovation. finally, there was one renovation under georgeeason you said the communications on 911 were were you they revealed a problem. remember that president bush was in serious to florida and vice president cheney went into that secret facility, called the park the emer operations, which is deep in the bowels of the white house. and they had time communicating because no one had ever thought that the president would have to communicate with himself. you know, the president was either it was

subordinate, obama is the president, biden is the vice president, it is known that obama did not support​nominating biden for... the post of head of the white house, on the one hand, because he knew him very well price, on the other hand, apparently, because he also did not want to squander his own inheritance in this way, but obama, along with bill clinton, along with nancy pilosi and chuck schumer, who leads the senate majority of democrats, is part of the elite of the democratic party, is part of the number of people who can influence ... are waiting for biden to speak at the debate against trump on june 27, depending on the outcome of these debates, will somehow try to determine the future fate of the dim party's candidacy in ... these presidential elections. debate on cnn will be biden's last chance to convince voters he is qualified for the job. they deliberately decided to hold the debate early, and i think it will become clear to americans whether biden is ready for the next term or not,” said former bill clinton adviser mark pen. if joe fails in his first meeting with trump, or

obama sees the race for what it is, a nailbiter, but biden does not always listen to obama's advice,tions his judgement so obama is going around joe and is personally calling biden's campaign chair and close advisers asking about strategy and how biden was taking their advice. he has the biden campaign wired. obama's people have ordered the biden campaign to "make sure obama is in the loop on campaign updates." obama is even making staffing decisions at biden's headquarters in wilmington. obama's lieutenants warning they will be watching thursday night. no pressure. >> this is the most important 90 minutes in joe biden's political career, it's one of the most important 90 minutes and recent political history because if joe biden does not do what he needs to do thursday, and i think he can, he's a solid debater, i'm not sure trouble even debate september 10th. >> jesse: we agree, it's a most important presidential debate since kennedy nixon, only to see if biden can hack it. if he can't they will swap them out, if he can the progressive takeover of america is imminent because a second

robinson as the mother of michelle obama and the grandmother of sasha and malia obama, and a fixture really at the white house during the obama administration. and we are learning that she has passed away at the age of 86 from a lengthy statement, really quite beautiful statement, i will say from her family members, including her daughter, michelle obama, her son, craig robinson and barack obama, the former president. i'll just read you a little bit of what they wrote. they said marion luis shields robinson, our mother mother-in-law, and grandmother. had a way of summing up the truths about life and a word or to maybe a quick phrase that made everyone around her stop and think her wisdom came off as almost innate as something she was born with. but in reality, it was hard earned and fashioned by her deep understanding that the world's roughest edges could always be sandi down with a little grace. and certainly that is a lesson in a message she will have how did on her daughter, her son-in-law, and her granddaughters as she moved with them from chicago to the white house back in 2008,

the office of president obama, issued a statement.your attention to it is a statement of what other people have accused him of. and he said that it didn't happen in the sense that people said, they said that they saw, right? or that it was a false report of what they saw? let's not forget that president obama and president biden have a good relationship, not friends, they are like family to each other and i think that's what you saw, you saw that... the president put his hand on president biden's back and they left the stage after they answered questions, or jimi kimel was answering questions at the event, this is what you saw. let's still look at what we saw, because the more i listen to this changuchenga, the harder it is for me that stanism is contagious, who is contagious? kammalism, commalism, no, at least she’s not laughing, well, not yet, well, let’s see together, because this... everything will be introduced, this, this bunch, literally, is the world’s minority, yes, it turned out to be a trace of the world’s minority , which

that was president obama. be happening had we not had the incident last week at the white house at the juneteenth concert. at that, the president was standing among a line of people who were swaying and clapping to music. the president that appeared to be frozen for nearly a minute. not just a few seconds but nearly a minute. it looks really, really weird. the brother of george floyd was standing next to the president and was clapping and engage the president very briefly and biden goes back and stared some more. i don't think president obama would have done what he did and others would be quite as concerned had we not seen what happened last week. >> sandra: okay, "the wall street journal" says the biden campaign needs younger voters making the case that more and more instances like this are probably not reaching the younger crowd. the president is getting help from high wattage hollywood stars. most of them are over the age of 50. is this a strategy that is working for the biden campaign? >> 50 is kind and g

then he did another three sets on the national tickets, obama/biden, obama/biden, biden/harris, and now the fourth, this re-elect. and he's done debates in forums as a senator. you've seen the photos. here's a bit more of his track record over the years. >> the system does produce corruption. i think implicit in the system is corruption. >> under the reagan administration, we're leading our children with close to a $3 trillion debt. when we talk about statistics, we're really talking about the people. we are the world's last best hope. if our economy fades, will japan take over the protection of the free world? will our european allies do that? the answer is clearly no. we must suc succeed not only fo ourselves but for the world. >> their ideas are old and bad and eliminate medicare. it's never been done before. >> it's been done a couple times. jack kennedy increased growth. >> oh, now you're jack kennedy? >> republicans or democrats? >> there it is. with the grin to boot. when you talk about getting up on that debate stage, it's one of those things that might look like people talking

obama will always speak of obama. i think it will. all his books will always suffer in comparison to his first one, which is just a really wonderful book jimmy carter has written. you know, maybe plus books among them, some memoirs, his white house memoir, i think keeping faith or something like that. they all have these kind of titles, not particularly good. you know, it's like right after his presidency he's still too close to things. he's defensible. i think spends more time on things that don't seem to matter that much. you know, a book he wrote years later called an hour before looking back his childhood growing up, his father's farm in georgia during the depression is amazing. you know, it's i recommend it like no, not like it's like good for a politician's book. it is just good, you know. and so i think found that to be a pretty consistent theme among especially politicians at a very high level just, you know, that the closer they are, the material that they're writing about, the closer in time. i mean, the revelatory they ofte

then barack obama had to take him off stage like a child.e been softer, he could have told him: let's go, there was no need to grab his hand, but obama looked good on stage, and i think that was his goal. it’s very accurate about obama, if you also remember the difficult relationship between the former boss, the former subordinate, obama is the president, biden is the vice president, it is known that... obama did not support the idea of ​​nominating biden for the post of head of the white house, on the one hand, because i knew it very well his value, on the other hand, apparently, because he also did not want to squander his own inheritance in this way, but obama, along with bill clinton, along with nancy pilosi and chuck schumer, who leads the senate majority of the democrats, is part of the elite of the democratic party. trump on june 27, depending on the outcome of these debates, will somehow try to determine the future fate of the dim party’s candidacy in these presidential elections. the cnn debate will be biden's last chance to convinc

remember obama blamed the attack on a you do video and arrested the guy who posted it.d from the best, now obama's sweeping to joe off the stage like you still in charge? maybe because he is. >> people would ask me, knowing what you know now, do you wish he had a third term? and i used to say, you know what, if i could make an arrangement where i had a stand in, a front man or front woman and they had an ear piece and i was just in on my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff then i could deliver the lines that somebody else was doing all of the talking and a ceremony i would be fine with that. >> jesse: as you mentioned democrats were using as nothing more than a stand in? keep him around until november 5th that expiring, win at the election, forced joe to step down and promote kamala. the orders are simple, keep biden from looking too old, to incompetent or too misguided. that is why they are deploying the misinformation strategy on the videos. if biden looks to old, they cannot drag him across the finish line and switch them out for kamala. and there's a pro

are pushing getting back obama saying no. that president biden did not freeze that their friends, that this is not did not happen the way that it is being portrayed so what do you think is it time for people to stop selectively clipping videos and putting them out? >> oh, come on. so first let's let's go back to the g7, right? so the rest of the g7 leaders are getting their standing there. they're all hanging out together. they clearly know there's a photo going to be taken. are they know their schedule, what's going to happen next? and apparently, the president forgot what's going to happen next clip, i know he turned around, he went over, well, maybe just wanted to interact with the parachute is to his flying into the graph you know what maybe you did, but why did the rest of the g7 liters the prime minister of italy went over and grabbed them and pull them back i mean, clearly there was something going on there look, you see it, right? >> watch it again. i mean, he goes over are no sustained waiting for a photo he kinda wa

barack obama.e coming to her and the president at the first couple of years of the obama administrationnow, we really want to renovate the west wing and the situation room. it's a complete fire trap. and it was and it's and the technology was not up to the 21st century. and they kept resisting and saying no and saying no. and finally, there was a meeting in the situation room where valerie jarrett said, listen, the first black president, united states is not going to leave the ovalffic no way. and they ended the conversation there was one renovation under george w bush, in part because of the r■fn you said the communications on 91re you they revealed a problem. remember that presidt serious e president facility, called thek the emergency operations, which the white house. and they had a ever thought that the president would have to communicate with was supposed to be in the park and they had a ■4renovation or after that. and then the big renovation was completed just last august. and i had the good

stage by obama.pierre obama and biden are like family. the white house attacked cheap fake videos those cropped without full context angles to make he is leading off instead of fechuch spog unwith. cheap fake videos, done in bad faith instead of talking about the president's performance in office and what i mean by that is his lengths legislative wins where he has been able to do for the american people across the country. we're seeing these deep fakes. these manipulated videos. and it is, again, done in bad faith. >> deep fakes are videos that have been digitally altered or did not happen. the trump campaign and conservative commenters have seized on jean-pierre's comments. they maintain there have been several other instances where they say the president has appeared confused. our own guy benson said that, quote: these videos are absolutely not deep fakes or manipulated. feel free to argue they are being unfairly portrayed or taken out of full context. literal misnotification pretend the videos the

he was cia director, defense secretary under both g barack obama.he wrote a memoir and the nineties, i think about his time in, the cia or something like great right? years later, he wrote a memoir at the end and got. he told you exactly what he thought of everyone. exactly what his experience in washington had been. same guy but one was written by a man with many years left in his career. another was written by a man at the end of his career, right. and and and therein lies the difference in in that let's just go with presidential for a second the closer a president the closer a president time in office almost less interesting that book is going to be time in office. either long before or long after, or the better the book tends to be dreams from my father. book. biographers have found that, you yes, obama compressed some characters, played fast and loose with some stuff. still book, audacity of hope. when he' lik you know. i think he was already a senator and running for president. i'm not a great book, right? a promise, an interesting bk. you kno

senator obama becomes president obama. he resigns his senate seat.o the law here in illinois, you as the governor get to name his replacement. now you're excited about this, and you say on tape, "i'd like to get the [bleep] out of here," and you're talking about options for yourself. does that mean, "i'd like to get the [bleep] out of here," you were sick of being governor? that's absolutely the things i was saying, of course, and i was looking at all kinds of options. so he attempted to trade obama's seat for a golden parachute. he begins to be heavily courted by all sorts of people who would love to be that u.s. senator. they saw something really valuable here-- a very valuable bargaining chip that could elevate his power in some way or-- or benefit them monetarily. when i said i wanted to get the eff out of here, it's because the fbi people and my persecutors were all over me, and it's the sort of thing, when that stuff's swirling around you, you know that stuff's swirling around you. -right. -and it's there. it's everywhere, and it-- and it was j

barack obama was sort of rootless when he came to chicago. he was looking for roots and he found it in the robinson family and mrs. robinson, as you pointed out? a his mother died quite young. your father was not really a part of his life and michelle's family became his family and mrs. robinson was mother to him as well. and their relationship was very, very close. she meant a lot to him and i know he to her she was the center she was quiet. she didn't impose herself, but somehow she was as michelle said, the rock that everybody looked look to our thoughts are with the family tonight. david ox, right. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> just a head more breaking news. president biden, today detailing a new ceasefire proposal between israel and hamas that might end the fighting and free the hostages and hamas is just responded details in analysis by our baraka the next when you own a small business every second counts, save time marketing, the constant contact with email, sms, and social posts all in one place so you still have time to make s

i also think michelle obama, she really doesn't like politics.an politics, which is why i can't stress enough that she is not going to be the democratic nominee. a >> judge jeanine: i agree. >> dana: i do imagine there were a lot of people who worked in the obama world who want the democrats to continue to win, they don't like donald trump, and so they have been trying to help biden people behind the scenes but the biden people don't think they have been that helpful. the obama people are having a fight against bernie sanders and elizabeth warren people because biden made a deal with bernie and elizabeth and has all of these people all through out the administration, so what did you end up with? biden white house moved so far to the left that the obama people, for about 18 months now, finally on the record are saying, guys, you are screwing this up, you are screwing this up. they are trying to be as good as they can, but it michelle obama is like, i don't like politics, i don't want to be around this. i'm enjoying my life, i'm not go into get inv

the one i don't like the obamas. this makes me appreciate michelle obama more.alty, a discussed with what happens. that is what matters right now. i like that. that is the kind of thing where you don't throw people away in those values don't matter. you're not going to go to town in this regard. it could be easier, because they see their problems with him. i don't want to be there. barack obama bragged when he was first elected when biden was elected, that there was 90% of the staff, of his staff was still going to be with biden. and we think about another obama term, i think we have had it. it has not worked. i like her stand on this. >> we have a running joke. we always mention taylor smith. outside of having taylor swift as my surrogate if i am a democratic name of the second person i would want out there is michelle obama. michelle obama has not done one post about biden's reelection say reposting his announcement. talk about ways she can be engaged. i would want her engaged. when asked if she could speak at the dnc, they did not comment. i would want there

but i think that right now, obama is worried about his own legacy.ake sure that biden wins because i think he realizes there is a lot of things he has done that biden has brought back and he does not want to lose any of that stuff so i think it is fascinating, the obama, hillary connection, they are both about the past, but for obama, it's about the future. >> greg: and also, jesse, hillary has a new book out. could that be the reason why she is skulking around? >> jesse: good thing he didn't come out when my book came out because i would not like to have to beat her in "the new york times" best seller list, greg. i have a daughter named gigi not think after you, short for georgina, although i should have named my daughter after you, would have been a very nice oma's. is that how you say that, all mosh? >> greg: no, it is homage. >> jesse: it's like it takes a village, make sure she sleeps, changing diapers, doesn't fall and hit her head. this is how we treat joe biden. former presidents to come in and raise money, former first lady giving advice, th

you “oined barack obama in 2011, absolutely. you “oined barack obama an 2011. and — absolutely.absolutely. you joined barack obama in 2011, and he was down in the - in 2011, and he was down in the polls, so what did you have to do? what was the strategy? we polls, so what did you have to do? what was the strategy?— what was the strategy? we had to make the election _ what was the strategy? we had to make the election about _ what was the strategy? we had to make the election about a - what was the strategy? we had to make the election about a choice, | make the election about a choice, between barack obama and mitt romney and i used to say to barack obama, if it is a referendum on the incumbent, you will likely lose, but if it is a choice between you and mitt romney you will win the choice, it is ourjob to take it to mitt romney and make it a choice between two candidates and we were able to do that and we won that election. barack obama did not do well against mitt romney in the early debates, so how dangerous can debates be? this was second time around and still obama is not r

uh till, you know, obama basically then it was basically obama versus hillary. and as we saw obama, i got the support of the black, george soros. he got the popular bag and he was able to, to come to ascendancy. hillary never really took leadership with the party business, basically, i think been obama's party, even as we know by joe biden, was obama's vice president. so you could say this has been obama's democrat party killer and the bill, but it still shows up to the advance right to promote joe. but it really is. it's the obama and bite and show. so to me, i would say that at this point, it, it, it's not this ever man from self. it's really gonna be question of progress. what happens here? does obama step in, in some way to guide the democrats or, you know, lead them in the sense of giving orders to say, ok, well this is what we're going to do. otherwise, i don't see joe by them being the democrat party. that's clear. yeah. you know, shot, i'm curious because you said a lot of people been raising concerns about biden, for a long time yourself included. but t

michelle obama rights on social media.y mom, marion robinson was my rock, always there for whatever i needed when the obama is moved into the white house. so did she in 2012 essay in essence magazine, mrs. robinson wrote that her job there was the easiest one of all get to be grandma more now on her life and legacy from randy k married robinson was a fixture alongside the first family, often referred to as barak and michelle obama's secret weapon. i want my mommy to stand up this is the woman who keeps me grounded, who stays at home with my girls and make sure that they're okay. i love you in a statement after her passing, the former president and first lady wrote marion robinson had a deep understanding that the world's roughest edges could always be sanded down with a little grace they said she instilled in them, don't sweat the small stuff and know what's truly precious. >> marion robinson was one of seven children and grew up on the south side of chicago. robinson study to become a teacher before working as a secretary

if we have both cars develops obama. you are the same as a social, you're good to go to work for bomber because you think is the communist left. this, i'm good to good thoughts, obama, because wife on the account that i the i think that she's not a secret gloss that left this he is not. she pretends to be. i left this, he's not that's the, don't know what you're talking about slot boy. the military generally, i mean the age when obama is doing. but that's just because there are left the all the left left left piece, friends, outside of colleagues, not my friend. i don't buy this democratic, the class of, you know, low be a good. i showed them up, can i see blah, blah, blah. all i'm saying is that the problem we just gave and i still community, some is the fear with us or i'm afraid what happened was i just don't find this so no, it isn't the right. yeah. the problems are going to be here forever. you have a, you know, dental problems and probably that's the, that's okay, but it's big deal. okay. let's take the time does

the truth is this obama bidensh relationship fascinates me iipf you recall when obama had his birthdaythey had and obama waited until i think it was august or september of 2022 endorsed joe bideendon so it's interesting it he has for the last couple of months trying to get involved to sad hay biden needs help and thy said we don't need help biden'sh people beeemn rejecting them but right now obama is worried about his own legacy a and he wants tr make sure biden wins because they think he realizes there are things he's done that biden is h brought backe and he doesn't wi to lose that stuff so i think it's fascinating the obama hillarthy connection they're boh about the past but for obama it's aboutfu the future. >> and hillary has a new book out that be the reason why she's skulking around. >> good thin g it didn't come out when 5 okay mount because i went over wanted to fight her in the new york times bestseller list. i should have named my daughter after you. have you n seen that home it's like it takes a village.akes you there making sure they sleep doesn't fall and hit her head rig

does barack obama himself know about this?st one video, there are already plenty of them. and according to surveys, we see that people do not feel confident in him, they are worried about his age. he is led away from the stage by jill, kamala, barack, the prime minister of italy. if he doesn't know where he's going, how can he determine where our country is going? he has a cheat sheet that says: me, joe biden, and now they tell us that this is all deep fake. republicans don't need deep fakes, we have enough. just point the camera at joe biden. team barack obama responded to right-wing claims that he had to be escorted off stage after biden appeared to hang up during a fundraiser in los angeles. eric schultz, a senior adviser to obama, wrote. quote: this was not in response to the new york post's twitter saying biden was stuck. our young boss. in this nursing home, valentin bogdanov is on direct line, valentin, hello, they are crossing all boundaries, what mr. bayten is doing, karine jeanpierre no longer knows how to choose wor

obama is the president. i'm just the vice president. but in fact, actually, obama needed biden in the same way that bush needed cheney. he needed somebody to help him understand washington. he needed somebody who had some gray hair, who had some experience on the hill, who could be an ambassador to the establish ment and to the rest of the world. and the truth is actually that highlights a trend that has been true ever since the days of gerry ford, really with one exception, jerry ford is the last president, along with george h.w. bush, who was more experienced in washington than the vice president. they picked. and so the vice presidents until today, for the most part, have been mentor, ears and guides to the presidents. they serve. think about it. it's, you know, mondale for carter, bush for reagan, gore for clinton, cheney for bush, 43, biden for obama, pence for trump. all of these vice presidents have more experience in washington, more and foreign affairs, more experience at the national level than the presidents they serve who te

obama's vice president at that time, and at that time mr. obama was against the nomination.resting that mr. biden, you are not suitable for this position, was his vice president for 8 years, but mr. obama made this proposal after the democrats lost to mr. trump in 2016. they are looking for a person as a white beard around whom these different groups of the democratic party can unite. finally, in the democratic party itself, we know that there is a group like mr. bernie sanders , who are the psychopaths of the progressives , and there are other groups that are still connected to the financial resources of large american companies and to the huge capitalists. are connected and groups someone else in between and therefore mr. biden was the one who could unite these different groups and different factions of the democratic party in 2020. the point that mr. biden said that his main goal in 2020 was to defeat trump and continue his work for 20 he transferred 24 to the future, which of course , about a year ago, he definitely said that i want to participate in this year's election

but the thing that obama and democrats tend to forget, especially obama, is that the election of president donald trump was a rejection of obama's policies and the direction he was taking the country. for him to feel like he is some great savior for joe biden when he steps into try to right the ship on the feeling campaign, obama can't make biden more likable or his policies better and both obama and biden and their policies together have already been was only rejected by the american people. >> trace: i'm going to put this up because these are some of the battleground states and i think the numbers are telling but specifically in pennsylvania, michigan, nevada, arizona, georgia, he's got leads and those, sometimes good leads in those, and i have to go but if he wins any three of those, it's over. >> that's right, it is. notice what state is not on there, florida, they've taken florida off the map is a battleground. trump has the ability to take home four if not five of those battleground states and i think you will see the senate candidates, the house candidates come alongside him and put

of the united states, just so that it’s, well, i’ll tell you my point of view on why not michelle obama doesn’t matter at all. as in the sixteenth year, in fact, the personality of the candidate plays of secondary importance in general. a lot was said then, by the way, about the fact that trump is the only candidate that hillary can beat, or vice versa, that hillary is the only candidate. that trump is such a great orator or, so to speak , such an outstanding political leader, that this never happened, history did not know, and so on, no, not for that reason, because there are serious internal tensions in the united states, serious disagreement between one half of america and the other half of america, and one of america was so corralled, so depressed, but at the same time possessed resources, that she needed a leader does not matter. some of his qualities are important, others are not, these are some of the qualities, there are not many of them, for example, arrogance, well , trump actually had them, so to speak, and he really pushed forward, they voted for him not because that he is w

he came back in a second debate, and so did barack obama.. he can't pivot with a second debate very soon. the question is i think over next three or four days if he can get out not at fund raising events, but doing in-depth interviews that show that this was a one off, that can reassure people, including that democratic base and the funders, and that's where the analogies come in with the past. but, you know, performance was not helped by the moderators of the debate but it was his task to carry ford and he didn't. >> yeah, and the difference in some of the instances that norm rightly brings up is take barack obama in 2012, with mitt romney. that by most analysis was a ■ç case of overconfidence or lack of confidence he was 51. president biden 81 last night and a lot of people were tuning in yes for the substance and lies we cataloged this morning donald trump told but they wanted to see visually stylistically is joe biden up to defeating donald trump. and for many the answer was no. >> yeah, after that first debate with mitt romney i don't r

obama's deputy at that time, and at the same time, mr. obama opposed mr. biden's candidacy, which is good for you. you won't get this position. it's interesting that he was his deputy for 8 years, but mr. obama made this suggestion after the democrats in 2016. they fail from mr. trump , they are looking for a person as a white beard around whom these different groups of the democratic party can unite. finally , in the democratic party itself, we know that there is a group like mr. bernie sanders, who are the leaders of the progressives. there are other categories that still have the financial resources of large american companies. and they are connected to these , they are connected to huge capitalists and other groups in between, and therefore mr. biden was the one who was able to unite these different groups and different factions of the democratic party in 2020. mr. biden used to say that his main goal in 2020 was to defeat trump, and he left his work for 2024 to the future. of course, about a year ago , he definitely said that i want to participate in

obama, ie early as dan was peopo worked on the communications team, president obama, we all joined ine january. that was january. you were junior. ay well, we beat us back a whatever. i'm over it. there's a meeting but the generic people are doing a society.on so anyway we little with four desks and three phones and seve the case for months and i didn't actually i met him i may be briefly met him in the office but at some point i think it was the i sent to go staff him which means go eventn cincinnati, ohio as a side note y future in-laws. it was a big, intense day. i've out. my husband was not with me at them$ time, so i met them by myself and i met barack obama in the same day. but i think if you' those was going to go poorly, you picked the right. but. right, right, exactly anyway, so staffing a president or a prominent person likehat they'll put you in the car just to make it easier for them. so he could g into car. and so you're sitting in the car obama. i mean, i'd seen his speech. i wanted to work h this, some e car he gets in the car. and he said and i had pr line that i thoug

he seems to be stuck on barack obama. barack obama seems to live front-free in his head. do you get a sense of why that is? there are other reports, not your reporting, that he haas dropped the n-word. there's somebody who worked on "the apprentice" who said that. did he seem motivated by racial animus? what seemed to motivate him? >> i think that he has always been someone starting with the birtherism claims, he has always been someone who stoked issues with barack obama and it's no secret he thinks about barack obama frequently. he told me in my book, what was interesting is that he talked about how he really wished he had run in 2012, and he thinks that in 2012 if he had run for the office of the president, he would have defeated barack obama. he told me he thought it would be easier to defeat obama in his second term than it was to defeat hillary clinton. he made it seem like hillary clinton was a stronger contender in obama would have been in 2012. you get new insights into his resentment of the obamas. the obamas were cool, widely loved, like movie star presidents.
