The Biden campaign brought in former President Barack Obama to sing Joe’s praises, but to a large degree Obama spent the time patting himself on the back.
This seems more like a campaign video for Obama’s third term while Biden aimlessly listens.

And of course the video addressed racial issues, such as who Obama thinks may or may not get called back for a job interview based on a first name:
President Obama: "If you get on the phone, applying for a job, send in your resume, if your name is John, you might get called back. If your name's Jamal, you might not." pic.twitter.com/DbF3eJ1JXX

That certainly doesn’t seem to apply in Obama’s case:

A little bit of self-unawareness from the ex-prez! We’re used to that.
With a middle name that was shared with the despotic leader of Iraq and a last name that harkens people back to the mastermind of the attack on the Twin Towers!

Racism thrived under you @BarackObama – you got elected twice and this kind of rhetoric makes me furious. Check yourself King Barack https://t.co/U9hoVDPdUJ

Guy named Barack Hussein Obama who spent eight years in the White House says the average dude in 2020 is skittish about calling 'Jamal' back for a job interview. ? https://t.co/m6u3wlTLiM

There are still 102 days until the next election, so maybe Obama’s just getting warmed up.
Anyone gonna fact check these guys or is it just pretty much all stenography for Democrats now? Also, nice highly-edited prepackaged Biden “event.” ? https://t.co/j3RIzcIFix

This is the kind of race baiting and divisive speak he used for 8 years…and what did that accomplish?

It seems to have emboldened the Left.
