    On 20 November 2023, Biden received a call from Obama wishing him a happy 81st birthday, and invited his former boss to the White House for lunch. Obama remained “slightly incredulous” that Biden was running for a second term, the book says.

    When the pair met for lunch in December, Obama argued that dividing the campaign leadership between Wilmington and Washington was not suitable for the fast decision-making required by a modern presidential election.

    “After the lunch,” the authors write, “Obama did not leave the White House right away. He stopped to visit with Biden’s senior staff, many of whom used to work for him, and shared his account of what he and Biden had discussed. Obama was more blunt with the staff. ‘Your campaign is a mess,’ he told them.”

    Does anyone in the entire country give a single solitary fuck about Biden’s feelings right now?

        For real, it’s like we know you all failed us historically badly, you can stop proving it every time you open your placating maw for another round of useless pontificating.

        Pied piper float on down the river and disappear forever this time.
