The Memo: Biden team's Obama criticisms draw some blowback
President Biden, who ran for the Democratic nomination last year as former President Obama’s closest ally, has recently begun voicing criticism of his predecessor.
However mild the critiques might be, they risk being seen as nitpicking at the legacy of the most popular Democrat in the nation.
Biden has said that Obama was not assertive enough in selling his economic stimulus plan, which the 44th president signed into law in February 2009 amid a huge financial crisis.
Biden cast the problem as one in which Obama was too modest “and we paid a price for it, ironically — that humility.”
Others in Biden’s circle have argued that the Obama stimulus was too small — an error the current administration was adamant it would not make as it forged ahead with a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package.
Another, related critique is that Obama was too eager to get Republicans to sign on to his policy goals, from economic stimulus to the Affordable Care Act, when they had no real interest in doing so. Suggestions that he was naive in this effort have long irked the 44th president.
