I'm the last one to take issue with Barack..

[busterbrown]

But I wish, hopefully soon, that Obama will step into the Booker Biden Racist Accusations and Corey's bullshit to bed


And as far as Corey Booker goes..he always got under my skin and still does..
Booker seems to me as a politician who will do anything to enhance his political career..

I've posted a small bit concerning Booker and there are many others out there.

1. It's not Obama's responsibility.

Biden will need to fight his own battles, something I'm sure he's more than capable of doing. That's part of any political campaign.

[busterbrown]

2. I didn't say it was his responsibility..

Thanks for the heads -up

[TwilightZone]

19. I don't see why you think he should do this.

He's not going to step in every time Biden is targeted with an overblown accusation. Nor should he.

[busterbrown]

21. Agree..

But this an exception and he needs only to state it once and knowing Obama, he'll make it short, to the point and he's done.

[charlyvi]

23. This would harm Biden more than help him.

He's campaigning to be President of the US. He needs to show us how he handles his own problems, without help from Obama. If Obama did what you ask, the other candidates, and quite a few Dems, would condemn him for it, thereby besmirching his own reputation for impartiality as well. It would be a politically tone deaf thing to do.

[busterbrown]

24. He's not asking for Obama to help him. He never would..

Obviously political suicide.. No!

I'm asking Barack to step up on his own... A quick 3 minute statement.. No more.

Come on... We need to shut Booker up.. He's a one for all and he thinks he's the one. He's a disgusting run of mill politician!!

[charlyvi]

28. No. YOU are saying Obama should help him.

And can you not see that any statement from Obama, however short, is help whether asked for or not. It would be condemned as partiality on Obama’s part and weakness on Biden’s part. Is your hatred for Booker blinding you to this political reality? Obama will not, and should not, do it. He will not, and should not, interfere in the primary! Biden would probably be the first to agree. He would not want to be seen as a child who needs to have Daddy bail him out. Bad, bad idea.

[Thekaspervote]

26. Agree!! Not a good strategy

[BeyondGeography]

3. Probably the last thing on his to-do list

Right behind hitting himself in the head with a hammer.

[busterbrown]

4. Why? Because he will ruin any future attempt

to run for another political position? We've got a big problem and its Donald Fucking Trump...Too sit by and watch Biden absorb Booker's bullshit is dangerous.
You know why? Yes we have better all around candidates than Biden that I would like to see become president...Warren, Harris, Buttegieg etc. But I don't they could beat Trump... Republican's fear Biden.. They're hoping for a progressive Dem Candidate so they can shout... Nanny State, higher Taxes, National Debt Crisis and so many others..

[BeyondGeography]

8. Ex-Presidents don't touch this stuff

That's just the way it is.

[busterbrown]

10. I would tend to agree with you if it was

anyone rather than Trump.. The guy is freaking insane.. This is not going to be an ordinary election run.. We are fighting for the salvation of our planet!

[JoeOtterbein]

5. I would not presume that Barack is ok with Biden's statements. nt

[SouthernProgressive]

6. How long has this feud been going on? NT

[BannonsLiver]

7. I'm not sure it would matter

A lot of the same people whining about Biden’s every utterance have contempt for Obama over perceived purity issues.

[LovingA2andMI]

9. WTH??

Seriously, WTH?? Barack Obama's Responsibly is to LIVE THIS LIFE and not a DAMN THING ELSE. #FYI

[busterbrown]

11. "This life" or His Life?

This is a fight between good and evil...survival of our planet... These are not ordinary times.. I don't know why people don't perceive this... He's got 2 daughters for God sakes!

[LovingA2andMI]

12. Think....YOU...NEED....TO...SLOW....YOUR....ROLE....

Barack Obama, the person -- not the President of the United States at this time, but a Citizen who is a Father that has two Adult Children (one in College and the other on her way) and a lovely wife who is equally living her best life right now after being FLOTUS and giving up a huge part of her privacy for her Husband could run for POTUS, not ONCE but TWICE -- and going though the Racist Crap they had to experience from the time of his announcement in Iowa in 2007 until 2017, when he finished the job he signed up to do....

OWES NO ONE ANYTHING!!! FULL STOP!!

IF THEY OR HE decides to jump into the mix anytime in the next year and one-half or so, that is THEIR CHOICE. NOT YOURS.

#FYI

[busterbrown]

13. Please.. Stop being so dramatic...

I will say this: These are not normal times. These are dangerous times for our Planet as a whole.. We are not running against Romney, McCain, even Bush.. We are fighting for the survival of the planet.. This bastard (Trump) is on track to destroy our lives... I'm not talking about a 20 minute speech. I'm talking about a quick statement..

[LovingA2andMI]

15. Ummm.....

This is a fight between good and evil...survival of our planet... These are not ordinary times.. I don't know why people don't perceive this... He's got 2 daughters for God sakes!

Who is "being dramatic" again?

[busterbrown]

16. Well I guess you don't see Trump

in the way I see him..

Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Treaty?
Destroying all our goals to protect our country form smothering itself with Carbon.
Trump's achievements in deregulation are also choking our environment..
Screwing with dangerous leaders of countries which would love our country to stay out of any of their perceived business..like political murder, engaging in Fascism, and dictatorship?

The Guy is extremely dangerous and all I'm asking Obama to do is make one quick statement.. Thats all.

[LovingA2andMI]

30. Not His Job!

If he decides to he will. Period.

[delisen]

14. Can't fathom the anti-Booker stuff.I only see Republicans not working with Dems

today. It is not a both sides do it thing or "there are good people on both sides thing."

The problem we have had for 8 years was mainly a refusal of Republicans to work together with Democrats as well as extremists Republicans working with the more mainstream Republicans, such as Boehner, who finally quit because of his own party members, not democrats.


I don't even see why Biden brought up working with the old time segregationists-who were actually Democrats themselves-or the son vs boy stuff.

I think it is important to get reps like Lucy McBath re-elected in 2020.

None of it will matter anyway unless candidates and voters can show some leadership on the Russian role in deciding 2016 and their future role in 2020.

[Karadeniz]

17. Obama chose Biden. Biden worked beautifully with Obama, Susan rice, Eric holder,

Loretta lynch for 8 years....this is not a real issue, but politicking.

[busterbrown]

18. Yep a great foursome..

And everyone knows it....
Corey Booker is a dangerous man right now IMO.. Just like the song..."He wants it all"
and has very few skills to confront his freaking ego.

Check it out... There's lots a stuff out there..

[Politicub]

20. I woudn't touch this live-wire issue with a ten-foot pole

But I've never been president, so I'm interested in seeing what happens.

[charlyvi]

22. Obama will NEVER interfere in a primary.

Once the nominee is chosen, he will campaign for him/her, as Clinton (Bill) did for him. He will not influence the primary, though. It would be the wrong thing to do.

[busterbrown]

25. Wrong thing to do? Correct..

Under normal circumstances.. But this is ain't normal times..
It's frightening times.. There has no one in the history of our govt who is as dangerous as Trump!!

[charlyvi]

29. And your assumption that Biden is the only one that can defeat Trump

is misplaced. All the top tier Dems poll better than Trump.

[Skittles]

27. it won't happen
