Former Obama Aides Mock Biden for 'Disappearing'

Throughout my years of writing and musing about politics, one of my favorite things to hit has been watching Democrats attacking other Democrats. While the Republican Party can indeed be prone to circular firing squads, there’s nothing comparable to watching Democrats eat their own to satisfy this conservative’s political appetite.

Such was the case on Tuesday when former Barack Obama aides Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor — the “Obama Bros” — argued that it’s becoming “easier and easier to forget” that President-elect Donald Trump isn’t actually in the White House yet, with cognitively vacant President Joe continuing to do his disappearing act as his ruinous presidency limps toward its disastrous finish line.

On their podcast “Pod Save America,” the bros discussed Trump recently announcing a $100 billion investment from a Japanese multinational investment firm. Favreau kicked off the festivities with the following exclamation.

It was more or less a standard presidential policy announcement, the main difference being: Trump isn’t president yet! A fact that’s getting easier and easier to forget as Joe Biden seems to be disappearing from the public stage as his term comes to an end.

How true.

While Biden has faded into the proverbial woodwork, save for trying to “Trump-proof” the federal government, it’s been Trump who has appeared more presidential, including during his participation at the reopening of Notre Dame in Paris, where he was greeted and treated like America’s head of state.

Lovett then took an awesome sarcastic shot at Biden:

Joe Biden believes in tradition and institutions, and we should only have one president at a time, and I think it’s a surprising choice to allow it to be Donald Trump.

Again, these derogatory comments about America’s melting-away president are coming from Democrats, although they read like jokes from Fox News’s “Gutfeld!” host, Greg Gutfeld.

Lovett was particularly critical of Biden and the Democrat Party for waiting so long to boot the obviously mentally declining president from his campaign in favor of ill-fated Vice President Kamala Harris (emphasis, mine).

I’m trying to separate basically my frustration with Joe Biden in his final year, culminating in that debate and hanging on, and how much we paid for having somebody who just wasn’t an articulate and comprehensive messenger, not just on behalf of his own presidency, but on behalf of progressivism, democracy — and I am very angry about that, and I’m a little bit mad at myself for not being more honest about how I felt or not seeing it as plainly because we’re obviously paying dearly for it.

I guess what I’m more concerned about than am I seeing Joe Biden enough — maybe he’s right that people don’t want to hear from him — it’s more, like, do I feel confident right now that Joe Biden behind the scenes is thinking of every single way he can try to future-proof the White House?

Let’s face it — with delight.

The Democrat Party was in a catch-22, a paradoxical situation. On one hand, the party was saddled with a cognitively failing president who was clearly unfit for office, and on the other hand, they were faced with the alternative of a vice president incapable of constructing an intelligible sentence who cringingly laughs like a hyena at the drop of a hat.

Vietor further lamented that “now everyone looks stupid.”

Now everyone looks stupid. Everyone looks like they are full of s***. And Republicans are going to use this to argue it was politics as usual when Democrats warned of Trump’s corruption or threat to the rule or the threat to democracy.

And I think that’s the piece of this I am most frustrated with, which is Joe Biden looking like a typical, lying politician. And I think that leads to a cynical feeling that all politicians are bad. They are all the same and that this is just par for the course.

Not to nitpick, but Biden hasn’t looked like he’s been a typical lying politician; he has been a typical lying politician — in spades.

The Bottom Line

Not only were the Obama Bros right; it’s far more pleasing and entertaining hearing them — and other Democrats — say what they said than us saying it for them.

In a word, play stupid games — win stupid prizes.

The Democrats’ problem wasn’t that Biden stayed in the 2024 presidential campaign too long; it was that he shouldn’t have been in it in the first place, and Democrats only have themselves to blame for absurdly attempting to cover up his continuing mental decline.

Moreover, which they’ll never admit, Harris had no business being vice president, much less president of the United States.
