Obama 2012 Finance Director endorses @JoeBiden
after watching his #MorningJoe interview:

“I sat there watching this and thought, ‘the world will breath a collective sigh of relief knowing this man will be sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office.”
~ Rufus Gifford

I'm not sure where this quote is from.

I posted an earlier thread about Gifford backing Biden

but the article I cited and quoted didn't have that quote from him.

2. Sometimes I think Obama covertly is supporting Biden

By sending old advisors to endorse Joe.

Appreciate them all. Thanks.

4. The world will breathe a collective sigh of relief with any of our

Democratic candidates sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office. I certainly will — whether it’s Biden, Warren, or any other.

6. The world will breathe a collective sigh of relief with trump gone, no matter who wins from the

Democratic party.

Once again, this sentiment is not unique to Biden, the sentiment is one of relief when the con is gone, Mt. Gifford may want to endorse Biden, but the reality is that any Democrat will allow the World to breath, the anxiety level of the World will come down very fast.
