The former president took part in a virtual fundraiser Tuesday for his former vice president.
"I am here to say the help is on the way if we do the work, because there's nobody I trust more to be able to heal this country and get back on track than my dear friend Joe Biden," Obama told supporters on the video conference. The former president said he believes the situation Biden would inherit — with the coronavirus pandemic, a recession and racial unrest — is tougher than the one that greeted him when he came into office in early 2009, but he said that he is inspired by a"great awakening" going on among young people.
"I appreciate you all being on this call, but man, this is serious business. Whatever you've done so far is not enough. And I hold myself and Michelle and my kids to the same standard," Obama said. More than 175,000 people donated to the Tuesday event, according to the Biden campaign, which billed it as a grassroots fundraiser, though press access was limited, and no video stream was made public.The fundraiser is the latest in a series of virtual events with big-name Democrats that have brought in significant fundraising hauls for Biden, helping him and Democrats bring in more money than President Trump's campaign and Republicans in May.
Manchurian candidate!
So he can run things behind the scenes. We don't need that
He's damn right to do so. The Obama Coalition basically staying home from voting in 2016 was quite responsible for handing us trump. Thanks for nothing, ya fools.
If Trump had said this, it would be a major scandal. You guys cupcake with Democrats! Demonize Republicans
Airbag Barak
JoeBiden could do something like go out in public and talk. Wait that might not work?
This isn’t a game people Biden is clearly senile when does he have an evaluation for mental & physical fitness to become President?
Biden has touched little girls on the chest, pinched a girls chest, wrapped his arms around 15 and 16 year olds making it uncomfortable for them, whispering in their ears. An old man should be keeping his hands to himself. Biden is the a disgusting man
Is he looking 2 b vp?🤔
Boo boo!!! Who cares!!!!!
BS
DOJ documents now prove Obama and Biden ordered the persecution of General Flynn after FBI agents found him innocent. Comey and others involved in the Flynn case must be indicted.
Democrats have forfeited their legitimacy. Should they 'win,' they should not be respected or obeyed.
I changed the world in 2009 in science and psychiatry and Bipolar Obama/Bipolar Biden said nothing.
Says the most crooked swamp dweller ever.
But the fake news fake polls keep telling everyone Sleepy Joe is winning, bwahahhahaha
If Michele gets involved, those statues wont stand a chance!
Radical left is the enemy of the USA!!!
Translation: Remember what you did in 2016? Don't do that.
NPR won't acknowledge that Biden has now gone 84 days straight without a press meeting.
OBAMAGATE!!!
It must be killing BarackObama Obama to listen to Joe 'Cracker' Biden. Obama was literate, Joe is Mumbles!! He waited to see if ANY of the other 16 candidates could push their way through the mud. Joe is a thief and a liar but served Obama well. oann gop
Keeping the main thing the main thing. Register. Verify. Volunteer. Vote Absentee. Vote early. Get someone to the polls. Help folks stay in line. WCKitchen actblue BrennanCenter fairfightaction JoeBiden
Must remove the racist Nazi president donald trump realDonaldTrump cnni Reuters WSJ nytimes CBSNews
Why? To repeat Obama’s failure with Iran, China and Russia!! Hell No.
*Michael Robinson “Obama”- truth is out
I guess old Joe can’t do it on his own.
In an ideal world neither of them make it to the general election, and we get another set.
'And I hold myself and Michelle and my kids to the same standard.' He means himself, Michael and his kids. Notice he didn't say our kids.
Lol...You mean like how long it took him to endorse Biden? They must have decided Michelle wasn’t going to run after all.
I say work with the Taliban and Big Corporate Oil to Ensure Quality Pain relief with thier Opium! with moderation,! and lower gas prices! Trump your Out! but tou were very very amusing and god bless cause therevis a new Sheriff in town, 'SENIOR' JOE BIDEN!
Why does obama have to campaign for Biden?!?! Where is joe Is he still sleeping?
Obama persuaded other candidates to drop out before Super Tuesday.
OVOMIT CAN GO TO H*LL!!!! PRESIDENT TRUMP WITH A LANDSLIDE IN NOVEMBER!!!
Community organized voting in every district, systemized absentee ballot requests and mailings , community appointed polling monitors
Well yes I don't hate Trump but we need a new leader soon to help us
as a socially awkward person, I resent the idea that an inarticulate person should be disqualified from office. I just don't know that to the extent that Biden is inarticulate he is excused from potential cognitive decline. in all, not close to the best the USA have to offer
Canadians 🇨🇦, take the Coronavirus very seriously. We mask up and social distance. It shows respect, saves lives AND IT WORKS!
I want someone to fry me
Who gives s shit what obamba Hussain said he is a lo life
“Told” not asked, but told.
Obama and Biden both knew the Russian scam and illegal spying, and allowed this to happen. How low the Democrats went. I really don’t see how these two dirt bags, can keep a straight face, after that scam.
Hey BarackObama where’s the self responsibility? Biden needs to do more to get elected not Twitter and cnn !
Go away Uncle Obama
Apparently not serious enough for MichelleObama who thinks being burdened by the secret service while going to the grocery store is a bigger pain than living in the Hell-space of Trump's America. She represents the privileged American elite who have better things to do.
Joe and Barry are terrorist and they both knew about the Flynn setup.
“After my election I have more flexibility,” President Obama tells outgoing Russian President Dmitri Medvedev.
If Biden loses it will be because he is incompetent and guilty of the same things we use as deal-breakers when criticizing Trump. And it will be because the people who make money as consultants and advisors ARE SCUM and do not want to win. That's what I think.
lol
Obama unironicly pushing to replace a sexual assault, racist, dementia suffering old white man with.....another sexual assault, racist, dementia suffering old white man.
Obama didn't even endorse Biden until the middle of April.
This is life and death. The Trump administration has abdicated its duty and left Americans to fend for themselves during a pandemic. Our country won’t survive another four years of this.
Go the hell home Obama - wherever that is
Looting, arson, vandalism is not enough. Time to move on to book burning. The Democrat Kristallnacht needs to think bigger
Michael Moore as VP will do the Job
Move to Canada, easy
Obama = our last good president ...I was wanting michelle obama to throw her hat in 2016 ...😁 I'd vote for her
Get him a stunt double! Pronto, only chance in hell he stands
More riots
😂 Obama about to go to jail 😂
When are they going to realize scolding people is gross ?

Like locking him in the basement?
Agree-we can all do more and I will!
Obama's freedom is on the line here! This is very serious ObamaGate
He definitely needs to train harder
You're doing it wrong.
We miss you Obama : ( please come back.
Can you tell us the sources?
NPR you're a disappointment. Don't watch you anymore. You are becoming irrelevant.
Money talks in our political system, and while I am glad that this is a positive sign I hate that fact about our campaign process. Ideas should have more value than money.
Go figure the BLM corp is directly tied to the DNC thru Act Blue. Right now BLM is the cause celeb.
It’s also highly unusual for an oversized twat to be president but here we are.
A_helena It’s not that difficult to figure out, but I will spell it out for slow learners: G E O R G E S O R O S $$$$ BLM $$$ realDonaldTrump GOPChairwoman parscale DonaldJTrumpJr SecretaryCarson
Because BLM is Act Blue and that’s how they are raising miney
Not if everyone hates trump😳
Biden just sucking up the funds for suckers thinking the are donating to support and help black people. It’s gross. Don’t worry Joe, the Titanic was the most expensive ship ever in it’s time and it still sank. So will you... you really are creepy
I need love for one evening
If Joe stands still too long, someone might tear him down.
Lol how much came from BLM?
kenjeong Soros must be writing big checks
Your has beenz! Goo home
He borrowed it from his son the same one that he let embezzled money from Ukraine
You do realize the trump campaign coffers have 250 million plus, right? Biden couldn’t catch up
So Obama is running for President now? I thought a third term wasn't allowed.
Wait until he makes Liz is VP
All about the VP, not 👴🏻JB.
Joe Biden is bought and paid for.
Joe Biden is going to owe a lot of wealthy interests, if he is elected president.
Is Obama running for a third term?
Bloomberg said he would throw all his money into the campaign of the Democrats so it's no real big surprise where the money came from
Well of course, Act Blue. Money intended for BLM, filtered to Biden's campaign Don't believe me? Look at their charter.
watching the debates will be the same as watching those donations burn.
Now I always listen to the most Educated American President to ever walk the Amerhica' soil, Barak Oboma, And he knows Washington D.C. and abroad! Yep! Yep! Lest we forget Osoma bin~laden? And who caught him. With no war to follow.
BLM Donations to a cause...You all must be SO proud while YOU sit in Jail for destroying everything good. But hey, you do you bae...you do you. Karma
Well,, duH..
Biden's going to need that money to hide in his basement.
Fakenews
That’s what happens when incumbents become incompetent.
It’s highly unusual that a person who has committed as many crimes as Trump is not already in jail.
How much of that cane from “unclaimed” ActBlue finds?
Joe Biden has not done a news conference in 84 days. I think he is not capable and should bow out now
kenjeong Why is so much money allowed to be poured into campaigning in the first place? It’s disgusting.
kenjeong It’s also highly unusual both of the presidential candidates have dementia... or is it? Considering most presidents have been old men maybe it’s not that unusual
You mean Black Lives Matter has raised $140 million for Joe Biden’s campaign. Remind us again of how much more money HillaryClinton raised that realDonaldTrump in 2016. Trump2020Landslide
JoeBidenForPresident2020
Ask him about the missing children at the border...
kenjeong and this is one of the many things wrong with us politics, who gives a shit. should be about policies not how much cash they can get from people looking for favours.
The moneyed elite are hedging their bet. Maybe Joe will bring the pacification they desire. They want a return to normalcy.
Currency does not go to the voting booth to vote!😏 HilLIARy raised more $$ than Prez Trump last general election & it mattered not!😄 Js KAG2020!🇺🇸

There both trash. We need a good 3rd candidate.
Black lives donations given to a white corpse
Can any public entity verify where the money came from? because even if it is an anonymous donor that donor would leave a large amount of money in times of pandemic ...
Pedophile
Trump is the most despised potus in US history. So, there's that.
It's highly unusual that the incumbent is as much of a dangus as Trump is
So when we vote for president of the fund raising committee Joe's the one.
The ‘Obama Era’ aims for records.
Fake news Trump 2020
'It's highly unusual for a challenger to raise more money than an incumbent president' That's because the stakes are extremely high & millions of people are committed to making sure Trump EXITS the White House in January 2021.
Does Biden know he’s running for President ?
The Biden event raised $11 million tonight according to one of the campaign staff.
We’re talking about the corruption machine
The DNC and GOP are the real terrorists. A two-party system does not work. The country is run on debt. The Dollar is worthless.
Plagiarist Biden is a bumbling stumbling fool. 1% Joe. Lousy candidate for POTUS. TrumpLandslideVictory2020
How much of that was 'transferred' for BLM, etc.?
So what is Joe Biden gonna do as president?
BLM money lmao
Biden replies: Thanks and I loved you in The Wiz, Nipsey!
'Heal the country'? Do you mean he has a cure for covid-19? 'Back on track' to where?
Why would anyone vote for someone who says they would be a one term president, it’s not right
JOE BIDEN IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT! JILL BIDEN IS RUNNING: 2020 His wife is really running, because she is the only one that can stay awake long enough during a press conference.
he has never sounded more unconvincing
And JoeBiden said he will be the best VP possible
The Notorious B.I.G. raps “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General” (Vocal Synthesis) (Audio Deepfake) (A.I.)
Maybe he can get corn pop, whos still a bad dude to quell the riots.
was there ANY advance promotion of this? I didn't hear anything about it until it was over
Barack is thinking when can I stab this guy in the neck to I’ll bees
😂🤣😂🤦♂️
Biden🤣🤣🤣
Can npr be anymore bias. Just another news organization lost to TDS.
Obama is lying again. He knows very well that Biden has dementia and memory loss.
Why did you endorse him at the beginning? I looks bad that you did not.
Obama doesn’t look good no energy no pizazz looks washed up
🤡🤡🤡
FredoDooley That's good enough for me
Nobody else? You don't have a short list i could peruse somewhere
this country has never been on the right track. it was founded by rapists, murderers, and slavers and we havent had a president who wasnt a war criminal since war crimes were codified. obama sucked, biden sucks, trump sucks. tear it all down & start from scratch
'WE SPIED ON SOME FOLKS'
LMAO Biden doesn't even believe that statement.
Joe 2020?
Money grab
'You don't have to do this Joe' Was Obama's Expression. What did Biden say about the Cold War? Seriously?
Are you serious. Joe Biden cant even mentally complete a sentence.
Can someone find out what is going on with the fireworks being shot off non stoo thru the night all over the states. no one cares what happens to people anymore.
Too bad Facebook won’t share NPR stories.
Chaz
Those two STILL inspire us to be better people.. And trust me, we have now felt the difference. The mood in our country says it all. fear I'll never understand what went through peoples' minds when they voted for Trump. Didn't any of them think it was important to research him?
He has dementia...it’s cruel what the DNC has done with him.
NPR: Never Picks Republicans. Same NPR that lies and slants the news so far to the left they fall over themselves. One small example among many:
Biden is not capable to run a country. Where has he been? He is hiding !!!
Omg
Uh oh Bunky boy bout to tweet a fucking storm up
fakenews DefundNPR
Democrats are the true racists
Both Obama and Biden ran the administration when the race riots began in Ferguson and spread all over US. Why didn’t he/they heal us at that time? How do we know he/they will heal us this time?
Then why didn't he endorse him at the start of the DNC primary races?
Biden hasn't spoken to the press in 82 days. He's hiding, not healing.
They are both really doing their best.
Can we see the video both were very confused 😄😁😄😁😂😁😄😄😁🤣😂😂😀😃😃😀😂😂😁😄😄😄😂😂😀😃😃😃😀😂😁😄😄😁😂😂😀😃😃😃😀😀😁😄😄😄😄😂😂😂😃😀😂😄😄😄😂😂😂😂😂😀😀😃😃😃😃😀😀😂😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😂😂😀😀😃😃😀😂😂😁🤣🤣😁😂😂😂😂😀😀😀
Me too.
Obama should urge DNC not to isolate potential voters in hopes to trend with liberals
So is Joe for the anarchists or against him? Does he agree with the black lives matters movement, and the lack of peaceful demonstrations? NPR won’t ask this question.
Hope.
He’s not up for the job and Obama knows it
Dem Gov Newsom sacked 2.126 million Ca. jobs, put you on the drug of fear and dependency. Soon the monopoly money from the national credit card will end. Your boss if he still has a business might call you back. Soon U will get evicted from non payment of your rent/mortgage.
Just know, if Biden becomes President... Obama will be the one really calling the shots.
Only because Trump HAS to go so we can regroup.
