Obama draws a lot of support from the black community because he's black and that matters to a lot of black voters.

In the case of Biden, he's white and has a lot of really unattractive political baggage.

Essentially, if you're black and spent time in either prison or Iraq, Joe Biden helped make that happen.

Will it hurt?

No.

Will it help?

Maybe a little.

While Obama may be -- in the immortal words of Barney Fwank -- "the prettiest man in Washington", he's been on the losing end so often when he endorses a candidate. Clearly, he has the reverse Midas touch, in that everything he touches turns to turd.

After all, Barack Obama is the reason Donald Trump is President. He's stumping now for Biden because Obama knows all of his dirty laundry will be aired if we have another 4 years of Trump.

You really believe that? He tried to bring America down? Why would he do that? He divided the races? He's responsible for riots and burning buildings? How about Trump?

Yeh, thanks, we Democrats are just thrilled to see cities burn. You can't be serious.

I don't care who campaigns for Joe Biden....he was never going to get my vote. And I literally am choosing what I believe is the lesser of two evils. We simply do not know exactly what we are getting with Biden. Presidency by committee?? Kamala Harris as President when Biden is declared incompetent? I'll take Trump's 'bull in a china shop' personality over the confused and quite likely demented Biden.
God help us all.

We want calm. Middle of the road. Normal. Not hollering, making fun of people, name calling, boorishness, crude behavior, telling blatant lies. America wants a return to normalcy, we tried the weird and outlandish and Trump Fatigue has set in.
Well you got two right. Obama is a great speaker and is eloquent.

He has no sense of humor and is polite and respectful only when compared to Pelosi, Biden, Schumer, et.al. among the Democrats. That's not a high standard. He opposes American values and is anything but honest.

If you want calm, no hollering, no making fun of people, no name calling, no crude behavior, no telling blatant lies, no boorishness, you definitely don't vote for Democrats. So are you voting for Trump or Jorgensen?

I don't think it will make any difference, one way or the other.

But then again, I'm of the belief that anybody that needs somebody else to tell them how to vote, shouldn't be allowed to vote in the first place.

Isn't that why there's a certain age of "majority" that separates children from adults in every state of the union?

He is the first president in history not to be endorsed by any former presidents from either party. Let that sink in.
