In reply to the discussion: Barack Obama: "My Statement on President Biden's Announcement" [View all]GreenWave

I type now with only a few fingers but my typos today are from real tears clouding my vision.
Our great President was greatly abused by FOX, OAN and Newsmax, etc. who went after him Day 1. They spewed the daily hatred, lies and fear that led him to have lower numbers when he should have seen them skyrocket for amazing accomplishments against Repug wrenches thrown into the machine of government. (Trump not allowing Biden's team to transition, repugs in Congress trying to overthrow his government on J6 and the constant hold the budget hostage threats.etc.)
Just an outstanding job by Biden. If Harris is like that, and I think she is, we can't lose.
Until the Big Nalu, my friend,

No. Hopefully Michelle is reconsidering running so that we have a much, much better chance of keeping Trump out.

I'm just saying that if the idea is to win, Michelle Obama is the obvious choice, is all.

She's the "candidate" for people whose first priorities are winning and preserving democracy.

Thanks for the tip. I don't have personal knowledge of the "behind the scenes" scuttlebutt.

Thank you to both of these men. They are true patriots and Democrats. I appreciate all they have done.

And we took them by surprise, and they couldn't attack Kamala during the convention. nt

I'm guessing Biden or someone in his camp told Obama before making the announcement

Biden endorsed Harris, Harris is now my candidate. Everything else is just noise.
