Analysis | Power Up: Biden may not be the heir apparent to Obama's legacy

“We are in a battle for the soul of this nation,” Biden said in his announcement

For one, Obamaworld — the former campaign aides and fundraisers who worked for the two-term president — has scattered, some lending their skills to one of the fresher 2020 faces. But perhaps more significantly, several Democratic campaign operatives said Biden isn't necessarily the heir apparent to Obama, despite being his No. 2 in the White House for eight years.

“I would like for him to apologize for the way he voted in regards to the [1994] crime bill and the way he didn’t fully support Anita Hill. But again, the world is completely different now,”“Though we supported President Obama, I think we still wanted to see more happening on behalf of black and brown communities, specifically black communities,” Cherise Scott, a 44-year-old from Memphis who attended the She the People Forum in D.C.

And because of that, it’s unlikely that he will throw his support behind a specific candidate this early in the primary process – preferring instead to let the candidates make their cases directly to the voters.”

I want better than Obama’s legacy.

What a joke ,just looking at them ,I get sick ,especially what we have now compared to them ,stock market record high , unemployment lowest in decades, pays are higher ,welfare down , food stamps down, ect ect ect

So many dems have already put all their eggs in the Biden basket, they’re so sure he’s going to be our savior, I mean he has nowhere to go but down at this point, he couldn’t possibly live up to the hype and hopes that are all sky high.

Obama’s legacy ? You mean his failed foreign policies the thousands of jobs lost in America giving hundreds of millions to Iran

Having Treason as your legacy? Joe, you ain't running from that.

Joe’s candidacy will be a touchy subject. How long before the other countless candidates start throwing him under the MeToo bus? I give it until Monday.

That’s right Obama may be in jail.

Joe didn't mention Obama in his announcement video. IMO, he has a much bigger (and more ennobling) message than just 'let's preserve Obama's legacy.'

& one who wants us united. With recognition that it's diversity that makes us who we are.

Biden’s popularity is based on Obama’s popularity. Once the debates begin, people are going to be disappointed when they discover that Biden is not Obama.

Ummmmm really duhhhh. He isn’t even in the same league. No one will allow him to use Obama to get elected. Joe either do it on your own merits and let us decide if you’re the old white man w baggage AnitaHill we want. If you get the nomination I will support you but...

This photo is indicative of how out of tune the DNC really is

If you are looking for Black men to stay home, this is how you do it. Just like with Hillary Clinton, check the last presidential exit polls.

Biden and Sanders are both old.... but at least the energy level of Bernie indicates he is still alive.....

oh the bashing has come from you all you are disgusting

Biden was nothing more than the court jester!

I for one look forward to Joe Biden winning the Republican primary.

No one can be the heir to Obama's legacy. South if different from North, everyone has his own characteristics and different personality. Unless we make a clone!

JoeBiden is a bit old and might represent the establishment which has let so many people down recently, becoming thus unpopular. However he is the best choice that USA has now for a reliable president. And he won’t be another Obama because his political attitude is different.

On inauguration day he would be 78, making him the oldest sitting president in history.

he busy get really close with his people and oh, by the way, urkaine bullshit with one of his sons.

I also highly doubt that Biden is the Democratic Party’s saving grace.

Does anyone really want to claim that title?

....here you go..... Attacking dem.

Obama who?

The media doesn't want Biden so it won't happen for him. His brand of what is now moderate Democratic values doesn't make for good television.

Perhaps not. But compared to four more years of Trump?

Obama's 'legacy'.
