I'd like to be a fly on the wall when Biden goes to ask Obama for an endorsement.

[rgbecker]

Would Obama do it for the primaries? Or say he's waiting till after the convention?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. If Obama follows the practice of previous presidents he won't endorse before the convention.

[Hoyt]

2. Don't know what Obama will do, but I bet Biden has already talked to him.

[emulatorloo]

4. Yep I assume they have talked. And that it was a serious conversation

[emulatorloo]

3. Obama probably won't endorse until after the primaries are over

[redstateblues]

5. Fortunately for BS -no he won't

In his heart of hearts I'm sure he pulling for Joe

[emulatorloo]

6. Yeah I think you are right thst Obama is pulling for Joe.

[George II]

7. I see no reason to even raise that question at this time, when appropriate....

....I think we know what his answer will be.

[brooklynite]

8. Betting Biden doesn't ask...

[JI7]

9. they have probably discussed this already and it's unlikely he would ask him to endorse

[Irishxs]

10. Heard Obama has met with four peple running. Obviously not Biden, yet.

[Celerity]

14. he met with Buttigieg last summer, not sure if they have met again since

South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg meets with Barack Obama to talk politics

17. Who is the gentleman on the far right? He is certainly enjoying the meeting.

22. Joe Donnelly

Pretty sure this picture is at Michiana Airport in South Bend. Pete was invited to ride with Obama and Joe to Elkhart for a for speech at Concord HS. Joe was seated next to Barack and Pete rode backwards in the seat facing Barack on the 30 minute ride. He tells about it in his book. He wrote about facing Obama on the ride and looking directly into Obama's eyes and his great big smile. After chatting a bit, and Pete telling him his story, Barack asked "How old did you say you are?" Pete wrote that for more than a moment he forgot!

[patricia92243]

24. I have the book but haven't read it yet. This will inspire me to go ahead and read

it ( after I finish Michelle's.)

[RandySF]

11. Biden won't ask.

[shanny]

12. I believe he has already said

he would not endorse prior to the nominee being chosen.

[Drunken Irishman]

13. Biden would never ask. I'm sure he respects the President enough to not do that...

And he probably knows the President isn't going to publicly endorse a candidate.

[SFnomad]

15. What? You hoping President Obama says no, because he's thinking of endorsing BS instead?

[Demsrule86]

18. Well for sure he won't endorse Sen. Sanders after the way he called for a primary in 12.

We would have lost the presidency had that happened. Biden will serve Obama's 3rd term and rebuild the blue wall. I doubt Pres, Obama will endorse in a primary...he is a statesman.

[WeekiWater]

19. I would bet Biden is asking him for resources...

Not an endorsement.

[Kahuna7]

21. Riiiiiiiiight!

[Kahuna7]

20. What makes you think he would do that? nt

[BlueFlorida]

23. Obama might deviate from the tradition this time

because he is not the sitting POTUS and his jumping in late after the damage was done hurt the party and the country.
