I don't believe that Obama would, willingly, throw his support behind Hillary Clinton. I imagine he already knew she was the chosen candidate. Parts of this book sound like BS, to me.

BARACK OBAMA REFUSES TO ENDORSE JOE BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE’S ‘JUST ANOTHER WHITE GUY’

NY MAGEEOCTOBER 12, 20190 VIEWS

*According to an upcoming book, “Barack and Joe: The Making of an Extraordinary Partnership” by Steven Levingston, Obama refused to endorse Biden for president in 2016 or 2020.

Barack Obama threw his support behind Hillary Clinton in the 2016 general election, and Levingston claims the former president chose Clinton over then-Vice President Joe Biden because Biden was “just another white guy,” Inquisitr.com reports.

“Joe, despite his many virtues, was just another white guy, one in a long line of American presidents — hardly the symbol of the Teutonic change that Obama hoped would mark his place in the history books,” Levingston wrote, per Breitbart.

Obama wanted to extend his legacy and he believed Hillary could help him do that.

“Barack had placed his bet on Hillary, the one he believed would confirm his revolutionary stamp on American’s political culture – the first black president passing the baton to the first woman president.”

The book also claims Obama passed on endorsing Biden for president in 2020, which was a major blow for Joe. But it stung even more when Obama met with other potential presidential candidates, including Beto O’Rourke.

The book also details an anecdote about Obama as a newly elected senator emailing one of his advisers, and stating “Shoot. Me. Now.” during one of Biden’s speeches.
