BIDEN IGNORES OBAMA'S ADVISE: RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
ICHEOKU say but Joe Biden's ego was in the way and he ignored the advise; and Americans are beginning to see what the former president witnessed first hand, up close and personal, the reason he offered the candid advise. But Joe Biden chose to listen to mercenary hangers-on who want to profit from a Joe Biden's presidency, while ignoring the man under whom he served as vice president for eight long years. A man who knows him better and who has his best interest at heart, especially in deference to his advanced old age. Today, Americans are witnessing the pitiful sight that is Joe Biden on campaign stumps, apparently battling serious memory loss and finding it extremely very difficult to string sentences together, lacks coherency and struggles through explanations.
ICHEOKU commends former President Barack Obama for not holding back and for honestly assessing the situation and dutifully confronting Joe Biden's viability as a presidential candidate in 2020 and asking him to reconsider his decision to run. By doing so, the former president has displayed the candor of truthfully speaking and making a good judgment call; as well as having the courage to speak up, regardless. That Joe Biden chose to ignore the wise counsel is a decision which Joe Biden will later regret and wish that he had listened. It is obvious that Joe Biden lacks both the capacity and capability to mount a successful presidential election bid and there is no pretending about it. His advanced old age and medical condition have conspired to take away the shine from the Joe from Scranton who became the Amtrak riding Senator from Delaware and it shows.
According to sources, former President Barack Obama said to Joe Biden, "You don't have to do this, Joe, you really don't"; and further to urge Joe Biden's advisers not to let Joe damage his legacy with a run for president or embarrass himself on campaign trails. However, ICHEOKU says does not know whose "legacy" Barack Obama was referring to here, whether it is his own legacy, which is practically non existent since they have been completely decimated by President Donald John Trump or Joe Biden's personal legacy. But regardless, Joe Biden has already accomplished both as he has embarrassed himself on the trail and have also damaged whatever legacy that was being referred to. On his own personal legacy as not being worthy of the honor of an elevation to the presidency and to Obama's, because there is nothing left of his legacy anyway.
This advise not to run possibly explains what led to the Joe Biden's statement that he told Obama not to endorse him. The stubborn Joe Biden possibly fired back at Obama, saying that he does not need his advise, approval and/or endorsement to run for president. The most likely fallout scenario would be Joe Biden saying to the former president that he will run for president regardless; and if the former president wants, let him not endorse him and then soldiered on to declare his intention to run for president 2020. May be Joe Biden mistook the friendly advise as a bad intentioned Obama, having finished his own presidency and did not want Joe Biden having a go at it. Joe Biden was probably thinking that Obama was trying to sabotage his effort at also becoming president himself. It is possible that the sincere advise by Obama was misconstrued by Joe Biden as antagonistic and possibly, together with his wife Jill, concluded that Barack Obama did not mean well for them.
The former president also alluded to the old and out of touch Team Biden which is not good for today's political campaign; to which ICHEOKU says like candidate, like his team; both of them are 'too old' and 'out of touch with the realities of the current political discuss in the land. They are a convergence of political Neanderthals, as old Joe Biden only feels comfortable in the company of his generation and does not trust or wants to be lost and left confused in the midst of millennials. It is the same reason Joe Biden does not want to pass the torch because he wants it all for only Joe Biden and does not believe any other person can do it better than Joe can. Simply too self absorbing.
It is also significant to note that by ignoring Obama and running, Joe Biden is holding aloft the promise which he made to late Senator John Sidney McCain to stay active in politics and not to let President Donald John Trump "ruin" it for everybody. He sees himself as Captain America, who will save Americans from President Donald John Trump and that way, he will keep his promise. Unfortunately, that desire by Joe Biden to keep a solemn promise which he made to a man who is now dead, is trying to once again cost the Democratic Party heavily with another presidential election loss.
Anyway, whatever happens, at least President Barack Obama, like Pontus Pilate, has washed his hands off the tribulations of Joe Biden presidential quest. It is clear that Joe Biden brought it unto himself by rejecting the wise counsel of his former boss. Whether his forging on was born out of unchecked ambition or a result of someone being too full of it, Americans will soon find out. But first, he must win the Democratic Party's primaries, secure the ticket and then proceed to do the impossible, win the the White House on November 3rd, 2020. Until then, Americans can only wait and watch to see whether the former president will be vindicated or Joe Biden will prove him wrong; either way, ICHEOKU is staying tuned.
