Barack Obama pays tribute to Biden at DNC just weeks after burying him

Former President Barack Obama praised “selfless” Joe Biden for passing the baton in his address to the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night — just weeks after playing a leading role in a behind-the-scenes pressure campaign to bury the president’s re-election bid.

”At a time when the other party had turned into a cult of personality, we needed a leader who was steady and brought people together, and was selfless enough to do the rarest thing there is in politics — putting his own ambition aside for the sake of the country,” Obama gushed.

“History will remember Joe Biden as an outstanding president who defended democracy at a moment of great danger — and I am proud to call him my president, but I am even prouder to call him my friend.”

The scary thing is that there are people still believing what they say.

Yea. I was in the US Army during Obamas Presidency and his budget cuts. Made my DFAC only serve 2 meals a day they for some reason could not afford to be open for 3 meals a day. And my unit had to operate understaffed, underfunded, and ill equipped. And had to try to do the work of two units. I hate Obama. I do not know why people like him.
