>Not even Obama could take him seriously.
I remember back in 2019-2020 when the Democrats were having their primary for the 2020 election. One would think Obama would have endorsed Biden immediately, right? But no. It took very long time and not until the race had narrowed down to just a few people (only just Biden, Bernie, and Warren IIRC) that Obama finally relented and gave Biden his endorsement.
There's also an anecdotal quote where Obama told someone privately "don't under-estimate Joe's ability to screw things up". Looking back at what a shitshow Biden's presidency turned out to be, it seems that Obama's concerns were correct.
