Obama’s post praising Biden backfires spectacularly as followers point out glaring detail

Former President Barack Obama’s post praising Joe Biden backfired spectacularly after many claimed Obama helped Biden withdraw from the 2024 presidential election.

Obama praised his former vice president’s performance shortly after Biden gave his farewell address on Wednesday evening.

“Four years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, we needed a leader with the character to put politics aside and do what was right. That’s what Joe Biden did,” Obama wrote in a post on X.

“At a time when our economy was reeling, he delivered what would become the strongest recovery in the world – with 17 million new jobs, historic wage increases and lower health care costs.

“He has passed groundbreaking legislation to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure and address the threat of climate change.

“I am grateful to Joe for his leadership, his friendship and his lifelong service to this country we love,” the former president concluded.

But other X users were quick to point out that Obama helped orchestrate Biden’s impeachment.

“I loved him so much you pushed [him] out of the race,” one user joked.

Author Peachy Keenan also accused Obama of covering up the president’s declining mental acuity.

“You have covered up his decline and committed a colossal fraud on the country by refusing to tell us the truth,” she accused the 44th president, pointing to comments Democrats made in response to the president’s statements. disastrous debate performance against now President-elect Donald Trump.

“You will always be remembered as the biggest liar to ever hold that office,” Keenan said.

Many top Democrats expressed concern about Biden’s chances of being re-elected after the summer’s debate, when the president was seen slack-jawed and continually losing his train of thought.

As concerns grew, Obama reportedly expressed concern that Biden’s path to victory in the presidential election was narrowing significantly.

Some of his former aides then began ordering polls and lobbying Democratic donors to withhold their money from Biden’s campaign in the event of a Democratic coup.

In late July, Biden buckled under pressure and dropped out of the race, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him as the Democratic nominee.

But Harris would lose the race to Trump, who will take power next week.

With just days left in the White House, Biden used his farewell speech Wednesday to issue ominous warnings about his successor and the wealthy allies in his inner circle.

‘I would like to warn the country about a number of issues that concern me greatly. And this is a dangerous worry. And that is the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very small number of ultra-rich people. And the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power goes unchecked,” he said.

“Today an oligarchy is taking shape in America with extreme wealth, power and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our fundamental rights, the freedoms and the fair opportunity for all to get ahead,” he added in reference to the advisors to the billionaires. to Trump, including advisor Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who visited Mar-a-Lago last week.
