Obama is endorsing Bloomberg in Bloomberg's campaign ads

Is he not endorsing Biden? That seems odd.

For the millionth time, he is NOT endorsing him. The ads are from the past, it says so at the bottom of the commercial. Sheesh.

He is not endorsing anyone right now OP. Some people, you really need to spell things out for them.

Drop-out Bill deBlasio is endorsing Bernie Sanders.

You saw a brief snippet of Obama introducing Bloomberg at some random event. You did not see Obama saying "I endorse Bloomberg for President."

The ad is obviously intended to mislead people into thinking it's an Obama endorsement. I wish Obama would come out and disavow this.

It’s intended to inform not mislead anyone, so there is nothing to disavow — which is why it has been running for weeks and Obama hasn't said a word about it. It is entirely factual, it’s not an endorsement of Bloomberg to be president, and they prominently display the dates Obama made the favorable statements, all of which accurately represent what he said.

Bloomberg buys his way. New York City has a Two Term Limit for Mayor. Mike paid-off City Council members to allow his third term.

I imagine Pres. Obama will endorse whoever has he best chance at getting the nomination and he won't do that until quite close to the convention once the front runner is apparent. Personally I think once they get to the south and the middle America states you're going to see Biden soar ahead of all the others

Obama wanted Deval Patrick to enter the race much sooner, and Michelle even persuaded his wife to convince him to run.

Obama even talked to Eric Holder about throwing his hat in the ring.

People desperately want there to be this unwavering loyalty and kinship between Obama and Biden, but it just doesn't seem like there is. I'm sure he no doubt respects Biden as a person and for what he did as his VP, but that's not the same as running for President.

I don't think Biden's campaign is going to improve. He might win a state or two at the very most, but he's visibly run out of steam. His appearance on The View yesterday spelled that out in glaring neon colors.

What IF Obama endorsed Bloomberg? Would it influence you at all?

by Anonymousreply 10February 15, 2020 3:32 AM

Idiots are easily influenced R10.

While I like Joe, your analysis would appear to express hope more than the reality of the situation. Biden has performed poorly in the first two states, and now has a air of desperation about him — that is never a good look. He’s the former VP of the United States, and yet, he doesn’t come off as a winner.

Obama did say Pete was the future of the Democratic Party.
