I think the coolest thing would have been if the thread title had been his entire message: "Biden Out!" ...then flash the backward peace sign and walk away.
Also, TI, serious question: do you think Obama would prefer a Republican President to Hillary? They might not be best of friends, but surely it has to be the lesser of two evils for him, no?

He took a jab at her and didn't endorse her, its glorious.Obama knows if Hilary gets the presidency, he will no longer be the leader of the democratic party, However if a republican gets in Obama will still lead the DNC.
Smart moves Obama is making here.
Biden's words aren't necessarily an extension of Obama or an alleged agenda with regards to the election. I'm just dubious that he'd want a Republican President just to be the nominal head of a powerless party:

I would think having someone of your party - with whom you agree on many (most?) things - in the White House would supercede leading an impotent party while the other party controls both Congress and the White House. I doubt Obama wants to lead much of anything politically once he's out of office; I can't imagine the drain the Presidency would have on anyone in the office for eight years.
I mean, yes, politicians are petty and sh*tty, on both sides. We could come up with examples all day. But there's a limit to that, and it usually involves actually keeping the party in power.
