Biden was Obama's VP. He isn't "cloaking himself" in Obama. Biden would look silly -- highplainsdem Aug 2019 #5

The most popular prez. Who worked 200% against overt obstruction, and got our path toward universal health.

cloak yourself in Obama, and then if you are ever criticized, then it's criticizing Obama.

Booker was right.

But I get it, it's a good plan and Biden is playing it well.

foolish and unrealistic -- if he repudiated Obama or tried to distance himself from him.

And probably a lot of the same people who are slamming him now for being too close to Obama would criticize him for trying to distance himself from Obama.

The criticism aimed at Biden via Obama during the debate WAS criticism of Obama.

And it won't be forgotten...
