Obama Endorses Harris.

It took 6 days but Obama finally endorsed Harris. I don't think the Obamas liked Harris very much. They wanted someone else. But they finally did in an obviously staged awkward phone call.

I wonder what they are getting in return. Could it be they get their guy in the Vice-President role?

Barack and Michelle Obama endorse Kamala Harris: 'This is going to be historic.'

The Obamas made history themselves 16 years ago when Barack Obama became the first person of color to be elected president of the United States.

The headline makes me feel old. I remember when Obama got into office in 2009, which was 15 years ago, when I was 9. But wow, 6 days? Who did the Obamas want instead?

Maybe nobody specific. Maybe they just waited a little to see if Harris could get off the ground.

I think they wanted Mark Kelly to be nominated. Biden threw his weight behind Harris to spite rhe Obamas.

Rhe Obamas didn't want Harris. Obama.said.

We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead,” Obama said in a statement applauding Biden for doing what the former president’s been beckoning him to do for weeks now. “But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges. I believe that Joe Biden’s vision of a generous, prosperous, and united America that provides opportunity for everyone will be on full display at the Democratic Convention in August.”

Obama’s final insult to Biden: Refusing to endorse Kamala Harris - Washington Examiner

Former President Barack Obama never wanted President Joe Biden to succeed him, and now he won't let Vice President Kamala Harris do so either.

www.washingtonexaminer.com

Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win,” the Biden family source told The Post.

After Biden’s ouster, Obama — who did not return a request for comment Wednesday — wanted Arizona Senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly “at the top of the ticket” when the Democratic National Convention is held next month, the source said.

Obama is “furious,” things haven’t gone his way, which is why he is not joining in the Democratic Party’s support of Harris,” the Biden source added.

Obama reportedly only wanted Biden to step down and didn’t count on the president endorsing Harris right away. The report said the former president was “shocked” Biden did so. Obama apparently wanted Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), who is being floated as Harris’s running mate, to be the nominee instead.

Yup. Which is their parties perogative, but don't tells us too much about democracy anymore. This was obviously a political coup and democracy was the last thing on anyone's mind.

The party elites decided ... democrats almost always fall in line with the party. They didn't have a choice. Even over 14 million democrate voters are not being allowed to vote for their nominee .... Kamala is being installed by the democratic party elites.
