RUSH: You know what\u2019s fascinating?\u00a0 I\u2019ve got this story about Obama here, and it\u2019s that somebody had a conversation with Obama, and Obama let loose, and this guy has reported the details, one of the things Obama said to another Democrat candidate. “You know who really doesn\u2019t have it,” said Obama?\u00a0 “Joe Biden.”\u00a0 This is Ryan Lizza reporting a 2020 Democrat candidate — a bunch of them — met Obama at his office in Washington earlier this year.<\/p>\n
