I bet Trump hears those words a lot. "Rarely does anyone do what you just did."

Yet he [Obama] continues to slow-walk some requests, especially to headline more fund-raisers. Some in Mr. Obama’s camp suggest he wants to avoid overshadowing the candidate — which Mr. Biden’s people aren’t buying.
“By all means, overshadow us,” one of them joked.

As the transition dragged on, Mr. Obama became increasingly uneasy at what he saw as the breezy indifference of the new president and his inexperienced team.

Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and close adviser, made an equally indelible impression. During a tour of the building he abruptly inquired, “So how many of these people are sticking around?”
The answer was none, his escort replied. (West Wing officials serve at the president’s pleasure, as Mr. Trump would amply illustrate in the coming months.)
When the Kushner story was relayed to Mr. Obama, aides recalled, he laughed and repeated it to friends, and even a few journalists, to illustrate what the country was up against.
A White House spokesman did not deny the account, but suggested Mr. Kushner might have been talking about security and maintenance personnel rather than political appointees.
Seems like he endorsed as soon as Bernie dropped out, and Biden was the last man standing. It’s what he did in 2016 too. He said both times he wouldn’t endorse until it was over.Chris_H_2 wrote:he’s not wrong about Obama’s belated endorsement of BidenBurtReynolds wrote: seems like there are a few different ways to take this.
