If government will not defend our civilization -- lives, letters, and graves -- then society must, despite having constituted a government for exactly that task.
I have no doubt that Obama considers anyone else to be a big step down from him. IIRC, he chose Hillary over Slow Joe before and probably would choose her over Kamala if she were younger. Is it possible that he just doesn’t see anyone to be enthusiastic about?
By endorsing Kamala he is playing the odds. She’s a possible winner, much as I hate to think that. How would it look if she took the prize without Obama’s blessing? He would have shown himself to be an inconsequential person whose support is not needed.
